About the game
What you do in a play session
Luna is a tactical strategy game that places you in the shoes of religious Order leaders, each vying for the favor of the enigmatic Moon Priestess. The board consists of a set of islands that shift positions each game, creating a dynamic setting that demands constant adaptation. Players command a group of novices who move between islands along fixed routes, and every placement decision can open or close influence opportunities. Building shrines, working at the temple, and participating in rites generate influence points, but the real challenge lies in maximizing those points while blocking rivals. The game offers a robust solo mode, allowing players to test individual strategies in an environment that simulates Order competition. With a playtime of roughly 25 to 30 minutes per game, Luna blends simple rules with deep decision-making, making it perfect for those who enjoy board games that require strategic thinking and careful planning. The lunar theme and mysterious atmosphere add an immersive layer that elevates the experience, while the modular board mechanic ensures every game is unique.
