About the game
Get ready for a breathtaking space race in Rocketmen! Here, you and your friends (or just yourself, if you prefer!) become space pioneers, building empires and developing cutting-edge technologies on an unremarkable planet. Years of hard work and a vision for the future have brought humanity this far, but the true dream has always been to reach the stars. Now, it's your chance to lead this new era of exploration, taking a giant leap for humankind and making the solar system our new home.

Rocketmen is a deck-building game where quick decisions and sharp tactics are essential. You'll feel the adrenaline of being in command of a spectacular space exploration journey. Use your predictive abilities and resource management skills to plan the perfect mission: be it a low-Earth orbit satellite or a base on Mars. Equip your rockets craftily, but don't hesitate to launch when your gut instinct tells you to! The universe is vast, but your opponents won't wait. Who will be the first to etch their name in history as the great space explorer? The competition is fierce, and only one can achieve ultimate glory with the motto: faster, higher, stronger!

With engaging mechanics like deck building, hand management, and racing, the game offers a tense and rewarding experience. The option for solo play also ensures fun for those who enjoy an individual challenge. The language dependency is moderate, requiring a translated reference sheet or cards for full immersion.
