Read the full game description

From the Moon is a strategic worker-placement game about moving humanity’s last great construction effort beyond Earth’s gravity. Each faction develops a lunar base, sends rovers across a modular surface, recruits specialized astronauts, and contributes sections to three survival missions. Workers can be upgraded for stronger actions, while laboratories, greenhouses, foundations, and large buildings turn the Moon into a personal production engine. Mission construction creates shared urgency and valuable influence, but the factions still compete to become the most important architect of humanity’s future. Resource cubes enter through terrain tiles and circulate through carefully timed actions, so efficiency depends on how rovers are staffed and where the base expands. Variable factions, modular terrain, and multiple scoring routes make the ninety-minute arc dense without becoming a campaign commitment.
