About the game

What you do in a play session

Lunar Base is a strategic card game for 2-6 players where you compete to build the most impressive moon base. Start at your unique base station and expand it by connecting cards with matching orb halves. Recruit agents to infiltrate opponents' bases and trigger unique effects. Win the space race by fulfilling one of four victory conditions: expanding your colony, advancing scientific research, amassing lunar credits, or gaining the most influence. With high replayability, quick setup, and accessible yet challenging mechanics, Lunar Base is perfect for quick sessions or extended game nights. And the best part: it's portable enough to take anywhere (obviously, we haven't tested it in low Earth orbit yet, but we believe in its potential!).
