Lunarchitects: the euro-style boardgame of moonbase planning (Kickstarter Special)

Board Game Geek Rating: 5.93. Board Game Geek Avg Player Rating: 7.54. This game is for 1 to 5 players and was published in 2016. This special game edition comes with the 'fancy tray' offered during the Kickstarter campaign. Note that paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign are not included unless stated otherwise. You and your fellow players are architects at Luna Mare, an architectural firm planning the first moon base. Compete with coworkers for building blueprints, astronauts, and construction resources to develop the most successful moonbase! Lunarchitects is a medium - weight strategy game. Players move their pawns in a refilling circular queue to claim building blueprints and use them to create personal moonbase plans. Instead of clockwise turns, the player furthest behind in the queue takes the next turn, making blueprint choices focus on quality. Blueprints from four stages, increasing in cost and power, are shuffled and stacked. Scoring happens each time all players complete a lap of the blueprint queue, and the game ends after the fourth round of scoring. The player with the most points wins and guides the creation of the first moon settlement! With unknown tile arrangements and variable scoring schemes set before the game, it's highly replayable as there's no single best strategy. Inspired by Glen More, Lunarchitects is a great family game for 1 - 5 players that takes about an hour to play. We're happy to support campaigns to bring you games like Lunarchitects. A good portion of your spending on this game will go towards backing new Kickstarter games. If you have purchase questions or need game advice, contact The Game Steward.

How to play Lunarchitects: First, set up the game by shuffling the blueprints from four stages and stacking them. Each player gets a pawn. The game uses a refilling circular queue for players to move their pawns and claim building blueprints. Instead of turns going clockwise, the player furthest behind in the queue takes the next turn. Use the claimed blueprints to build your personal moonbase plan. Every time all players complete a lap of the blueprint queue, scoring occurs. The game ends after the fourth round of scoring, and the player with the most points wins. Things to note: This game edition includes the 'fancy tray' from the Kickstarter campaign, but paid add - ons from the campaign are not included unless stated. Before starting, determine the variable scoring schemes. Maintenance advice: Keep the game components in a dry and clean place to prevent damage to the cards and pawns. If the cards get dirty, you can gently wipe them with a soft, dry cloth.
