Suit up, because in Luna Maris, the race to colonize the Moon has already begun! You take on the role of an operations coordinator for a major corporation, tasked with turning the lunar surface into a productive and sustainable base. Your goal is to extract precious resources like iron, titanium, water, and the highly valuable helium-3, shipping them back to Earth to secure glory (and victory points) for your company.

But don't think it's just about mining. Managing a lunar base is a constant balancing act. You start with a team of six scientists and must strategically allocate them across ten different rooms in the complex. Want to extract minerals? Head to the Exploration Plant. Need food? The Greenhouse is the place. Looking to upgrade your infrastructure? The Laboratory is key. For every action, you must discard the corresponding scientist card and pay the costs in energy, oxygen, and water. If you neglect your crew or let waste pile up, stress levels rise and your score drops.

The game unfolds over five intense rounds. You'll have to decide whether to focus on expanding raw production, investing in technology to optimize the base, or hiring elite scientists to unlock more powerful actions. Balance is everything: while you strive to meet Earth's demands, you must ensure your engineers don't collapse due to the confinement of space. At the end, the coordinator with the most efficient management and the highest score will be crowned the greatest colonizer in history. Can you turn the Moon into a profitable venture, or will you end up lost in the vacuum of space?
