About the game

What you do in a play session

Lunar Rush is a Euro-style board game that combines resource management, market economics, and auction mechanics in a science fiction setting. You play as one of Earth's four major corporate conglomerates, competing to mine the Moon for the newly-discovered lunethyst crystals and lunarium ore. Each turn, you use your GigaCredits (GC = victory points) to bid for the best space routes to and from the Moon. The slower the route, the more resources you can transport. On the Moon, you upgrade your base and place astronauts to mine and refine resources, which are then sold in Earth's dynamic markets. The game ends after seven turns, and the winner is the player with the most GC. The race for the new gold rush is on!
