Moonrakers

Players command a band of mercenary captains in a space-faring future, competing for leadership of an outlaw coalition. The game plays as a deck-builder where players select Contracts to attempt alone or with negotiated Allies, then play Action cards—Thrusters, Shields, Weapons, Reactors, and Crew—to meet Contract requirements and resolve Hazards. Action cards provide extra actions, card draw, and protections while Contracts award Prestige and Credits. Players upgrade ships and hire Crew to build stronger decks and unlock special abilities, enabling solo runs on tougher Contracts. Alliances are temporary and negotiated shares of reward and risk can lead to cooperation or betrayal. The game ends when a player reaches the Prestige victory threshold.

Love this game! This has probably become one of my favorites. Well balanced and not overly complicated, yet still offers a good mix of tactics and luck of the draw. Plus the free Luminor digital game mode is like getting a second game for free and allows for a fresh play style. Great job to the creative team behind this game!
