Moon Colony Bloodbath Strategy Card Game (Ages 14+, 1–5 Players)

Moon Colony Bloodbath – Build, Survive and Conquer the Moon

Humanity’s dream of establishing cities on the Moon has finally become reality. Rockets have delivered colonists, supplies and robots, and everything seems perfectly planned. But in Moon Colony Bloodbath, even the most carefully designed lunar settlement can descend into chaos.

Designed by Donald X. Vaccarino, this science-fiction strategy card game challenges players to build an efficient lunar colony while managing resources, developing their engine and surviving a growing series of disasters.

Build Your Lunar Colony

Develop your colony by constructing buildings, gathering resources, researching new possibilities and improving your settlement. Each decision helps shape your colony’s capabilities and your chances of surviving the challenges ahead.

An Engine-Building Game with a Twist

Moon Colony Bloodbath features an unusual combination of engine building and engine losing. Players contribute cards to a shared deck that determines what happens during the game. Some cards provide useful opportunities, while others introduce disasters and setbacks that can threaten every colony.

Your growing engine can make your colony more productive, but it can also bring new dangers. Planning ahead is essential when the same system that creates opportunities can also put your survival at risk.

Manage Resources and Make Tough Decisions

• Mine for money: Generate funds to support your growing settlement.
• Farm for food: Maintain supplies for your lunar population.
• Research: Access additional cards and develop new opportunities.
• Construct buildings: Expand your colony and improve its capabilities.
• Develop your engine: Add cards that can change future actions and events.
• Adapt to disasters: Prepare for problems such as hunger, accidents, technical failures and other unexpected setbacks.

Survival Is the Ultimate Goal

Your colony must endure until the game reaches its end. The game concludes when one player’s colony loses all its population or when the Event deck reaches its endpoint. The player with the most surviving colonists wins.

Solo or Multiplayer Strategy

Moon Colony Bloodbath supports solo play as well as games with up to four opponents. Whether playing alone or competing with others, you must balance expansion, resource production and population survival while dealing with the unpredictable shared deck.
