What's in the box

  • Two to four players, about 90 minutes per game

How it plays

Your turn starts with spending rubium to enlist alien units, then moving them across the lunar surface to seize mines and pick fights. Win battles and fulfill secret mission cards to score, while keeping your real objectives hidden from the table. Energize cards can be played at just the right moment to swing a fight you looked certain to lose.

Good for two to four players who want a full strategy game that finishes in about 90 minutes. The rules are approachable, the turns move quickly, and the translucent figures look terrific with the lights down.
