Build humanity’s future on the Moon in Shackleton Base: A Journey to the Moon, a strategic worker placement board game set at the lunar South Pole. Lead a space agency helping develop a permanent settlement inside Shackleton Crater while competing for influence, resources and valuable opportunities created by powerful corporate sponsors.
 
At the start of each game, three corporations are randomly selected from seven possibilities. Each brings its own projects, actions, scoring rules and strategic twists, ensuring every lunar expedition feels different. Their agendas can completely change how you approach construction, resource management or long-term planning.
 
Across three rounds, begin with the Shuttle Phase, drafting a shuttle tile that determines the astronauts plus resources available to you while also setting the turn order. During the Action Phase, deploy your astronauts to gather resources, construct lunar structures or fund corporate projects. These projects can provide ongoing abilities, powerful bonuses plus fresh scoring opportunities throughout the game.
 
The Maintenance Phase then puts your growing base to work. Assign astronauts to your structures to activate their benefits, collect income, pay maintenance costs plus resolve any corporate effects that apply at the end of the round. Careful planning is essential because every resource, worker and action must contribute towards building a profitable lunar operation.
 
After the third round, final scoring determines which space agency has made the greatest contribution to the Shackleton Base. With changing corporate objectives, worker placement, resource management as well as multiple scoring paths, Shackleton Base: A Journey to the Moon offers a richly strategic experience for players who enjoy challenging Euro-style board games.
