Humanity’s greatest dream is finally within reach: thriving cities on the moon. The rockets are fueled, the colonists are eager and the robots are primed for perfection… but space has other plans. Moon Colony Bloodbath is a darkly humorous engine-building strategy board game where progress and catastrophe are forever intertwined and survival is never guaranteed.
 
In this shared-deck tableau game, players develop their own lunar colonies while collectively shaping a deck that drives the entire game forward. Each turn, a single card is revealed that affects everyone, triggering productive work, unexpected twists or escalating disasters. You will mine for resources, farm for food, conduct research, construct vital buildings and restock facilities, all while bracing for the next malfunction, shortage or deadly accident lurking in the deck.
 
The brilliance of Moon Colony Bloodbath lies in its constant tension between growth and collapse. Players can add powerful perks that benefit only their colony or introduce new developments that impact all players, knowing that every improvement also increases the chaos waiting to strike. As the deck fills with hunger, glitches, leaks, paperwork and other space-age nightmares, every shuffle becomes a moment of dread and anticipation.
 
The game races toward its conclusion when a colony loses its final survivor or the event deck runs dry. Victory goes to the player who keeps the most people alive in the unforgiving vacuum of space. Equal parts strategic, satirical and thrilling, Moon Colony Bloodbath is a standout engine-building board game for players who enjoy high-stakes decisions, shared chaos and stories of spectacular failure on the road to lunar glory.
