About the game
In From the Moon, each player takes on the role of a faction tasked with launching three survival missions from the Moon before Earth meets its doom. The premise is straightforward: build ships, construct lunar bases, and amass resources to ensure humanity finds a new home. The modular board adapts to every game, offering varied scenarios that demand different strategies. Factions vie for area influence, negotiate contracts, manage income, and deploy workers of different types to maximize efficiency. The area majority mechanic keeps tension high, while income and contracts add an economic planning layer. Each player has unique powers that shift with the game phase, producing dynamic and unpredictable situations. The game blends detailed miniature aesthetics with the depth of a complex strategy game, yet remains accessible. If you enjoy space exploration, resource management, and competitive domination in a sci‑fi setting, From the Moon delivers an engaging, challenging experience that will test your planning and adaptability. Get ready to fire rockets, negotiate contracts, and dominate the Moon in an epic race for humanity’s survival.
