Lunar Rush*
* 
Lunar Rush is a Euro-style strategy game for one to four players who mine the Moon as rival corporations.
What is it about?
You run one of Earth's four big conglomerates. Your goal: mine lunethyst crystals and lunarium ore on the Moon, then sell them dearly back on Earth. Whoever holds the most GigaCredits wins this new gold rush.
How it plays
- Bid for the best space routes to the Moon.
- Slower routes carry more cargo.
- Upgrade your base and place astronaut workers.
- Sell your goods on the shifting market.
Many actions happen at the same time, so there is little waiting. The game ends after seven turns.
Who is it for?
This suits gamers who enjoy economy, market play, and worker placement. It shines best with a full table. A game runs about 45 to 75 minutes. The weight sits in the middle.
- Moon tableaus for each corporation
- Astronaut figures as workers
- A market track for Earth prices
Conclusion
If you love Euro games with markets and timing, the fresh theme delivers. Players after quick family rounds should pick something lighter.
