Moon Colony Bloodbath

Description

"Moon Colony Bloodbath" is an engine-building tableau game where players collaboratively build a shared deck of events, risking colony disasters to maximize survivors. Key mechanics include: - *Shared deck reveals* Each turn uncovers a card from a deck starting with work, trouble, and twists, triggering simultaneous player actions or events. - *Player actions* Choose mining for money, farming food, research for cards, building structures, or restocking building boxes. - *Trouble events* Add disasters like hunger, glitches, or leaks to the deck, reactivated on shuffles for repeated threats. - *Twists and additions* Variable twists per game; players contribute personal perks or shared developments. - *Endgame triggers* Game ends when one colony loses all people or event deck depletes; most survivors wins. Moon Colony Bloodbath is an engine-building, engine-losing tableau game set in a doomed lunar colony, where players simultaneously manage resources against a shared deck of cards that unleashes mostly catastrophic events killing colonists, alongside rare positives. The deck begins with four work cards (enabling mining for money, farming food, research for new cards, building structures, or restocking), two trouble cards (injecting events like hunger, paperwork, glitches, accidents, leaks, or power failures that recur on shuffles), and two variable twists. Players expand the deck with personal perks or universal developments, heightening risks and opportunities until one colony perishes or the event deck exhausts, crowning the leader with the highest survivor count.
