About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for a breathtaking space adventure in "Save Doctor Lucky on Moon Base Copernicus"! This expansion turbocharges the base game "Save Doctor Lucky," moving the action to the precarious Moon Base Copernicus, which, guess what, is about to explode. And the worst part? There's only room for two people in the last escape pod!
Your goal? Save old Doctor Lucky. Yes, the very same one you're always trying to sabotage. But the reward is great: the chance to inherit his magazine collection. After all, what else really matters in life, right?
The expansion adds new elements that shake up the game, like TV monitors, force fields, and rocket tubes, which can be used to your advantage (or against others!). The rules have also been enhanced, especially regarding how cards are drawn and how the board can be destroyed, adding new layers of strategy and chaos.
With bluffing mechanics and team-based gameplay, you'll need to be clever to manipulate the situation in your favor, deciding whether to play in alliance or if betrayal is the quickest path to salvation. It's a race against time and other players to secure your spot in the escape pod, with or without Doctor Lucky. Perfect for those who already enjoy the series and want more space-themed drama and twists!
