Rocketville

Welcome to Rocketville—a retro-futuristic city of ambition, androids, and outrageous campaigning! In this fast-paced political contest, 3–5 players blast across the city’s districts, aiming to become mayor by winning the most votes. Each round, players simultaneously bid for control of a district using a secret card from their hand. Victory in a district earns a Campaign Token and a chance to draw new cards, claim endorsements, or collect power-boosting Robot and Promise tokens.

Smart timing, bluffing, and calculated risk-taking are essential as players jockey for influence and try to predict their opponents' plays. But be warned—winning one district might mean losing your edge elsewhere! With ever-shifting momentum and bonus points awarded for collected endorsements, strategic hand management is key to building an unbeatable political machine. The simultaneous bidding and point-to-point movement mechanics simulate a chaotic campaign trail through Rocketville's quirky neighborhoods. Special robot helpers and shady promises add unpredictable effects and replayability, while the sci-fi theme and vintage pulp aesthetic bring charm to a streamlined area-control experience. It's similar to Farlight (modular engine-building meets simultaneous bidding), Monkeys on the Moon (political shenanigans), and Portal: The Uncooperative Cake Acquisition Game (area control and sabotage).
