Měsíční kolonie: Krvavá lázeň

Product detailed description

An inhumanly cruel game from the father of all deckbuilders.

Cities on the Moon! This will be humanity's finest hour. Finally – unshackled from Earth.

The Moon as a springboard to the stars. Rockets loaded with supplies and colonists, robots programmed and ready. Everything planned down to the last detail, and there's basically nothing that could go wrong. Onward to the Moon!

This is a build-and-destroy card game with a shared deck. Whatever the players build, happens. Most of the time it'll be something bad that kills people in your moon colony, but sometimes it's something good, and sometimes you'll get a chance to build. You keep playing until one player's entire moon colony dies out, or until you manage to reach the bottom of the event deck. The player with the most survivors wins.

Měsíční kolonie: Krvavá lázeň (known internationally as Moon Colony Bloodbath) is a strategy card game with a hefty dose of dark humor that will test both your planning and your ability to deal with unexpected disasters. It will especially appeal to players who enjoy building their own game systems, managing resources, and finding ways to squeeze the most out of their decisions. Be prepared, though – this time your painstakingly built creation can turn into a pile of rubble at any moment. The game offers plenty of strategic options while forcing you to adapt to events you don't fully control. Thanks to the shared card deck, all players face the same hazards – but each of you deals with them in your own way.

Why you should buy this game

• Building and destruction in one: Develop your own moon colony, use its ever-stronger abilities, and watch as further disasters disrupt your carefully laid plans.
• A shared deck full of surprises: Every newly revealed card can change the course of the game, so you never quite know what events await on the next flip.
• Dark humor at every turn: Tragic accidents, malfunctioning technology and unlucky colonists create absurd situations that will have you laughing at your own misfortune.
• Strategic decisions with consequences: Weigh whether to invest in more buildings, secure enough food, or prepare your colony for problems that might arrive as soon as next round.
• An unusual take on building games: Instead of endlessly expanding your empire, you gradually learn to salvage its remains and make the most of seemingly hopeless situations.
• A different course of events every time: The variable composition of the shared deck and different combinations of buildings ensure new challenges on replay.
• Simultaneous player decisions: During work actions, you carry out your actions at the same time, keeping the game brisk and reducing long waits between turns.
• Tension until the last colonist: Even a successfully developed settlement has no guaranteed victory, as a single string of bad events can completely reshuffle the player standings.
• Playable solo too: Head to the Moon without any fellow players, or test your skills with up to five participants, while the core rules of the game remain the same.
• A game by the designer of Dominion: Try another unusual card game system by Donald X. Vaccarino, this time combining the growth of your own game system with its gradual collapse.
