About the game
What you do in a play session
Beyond the characters, powerful inquisitors appear, offering generous rewards if you can persuade them to back your mission. These function as event cards that can swing the game’s direction, forcing you to weigh risk versus reward. Variable set‑up ensures the lunar board differs each play, boosting replayability. End‑game bonuses reward players who meet specific goals, such as mapping an entire quadrant or collecting a set number of observations.
With a playtime of about 60 minutes and support for 1‑4 players, the expansion keeps a moderate complexity (weight 3/5), making it approachable for newcomers and appealing to veterans who love historical and scientific themes. Components include new lunar boards, inquisitor cards, character markers, and scoring tokens. In short, *Luna* expands the *Galileo Galilei* universe by putting players in the shoes of 16th‑century astronomers, challenging them to turn the Moon from a bright speck in the sky into a detailed map of discovery.
