Description

Moon Colony Bloodbath is a thrilling strategy card game that transports you to humanity's greatest achievement—a colonized Moon. Published by Rio Grande Games and designed for ages 14 and up, this engine-building card game delivers 45-90 minutes of intense strategic gameplay for one to five players.Game Mechanics: In this unique engine-building engine-losing tableau game, players attempt to build thriving Moon colonies while drawing from a shared event deck. Some cards provide powerful advantages, but many trigger catastrophic events that devastate your population. The game ends when one colony loses all colonists or the event deck runs out—the player with the most survivors wins.Why Moon Colony Bloodbath Stands Out:Shared deck mechanics create unpredictable tension and constant adaptation challengesEngine-building paired with engine-losing creates dynamic strategic shiftsRetro sci-fi aesthetic with evocative artwork depicting astronauts, robots, and lunar terrainHighly replayable with emergent strategies and varied card combinationsSupports solo, competitive, and group gameplay across all player countsPerfect for strategy enthusiasts who crave intellectual challenge, competitive gameplay, and thematic immersion. Whether you're hosting a game night or seeking a rewarding solo experience, Moon Colony Bloodbath delivers the strategic depth and replay value serious board gamers demand.

  • A cheesy horror in table top form!
A new all time classic game! Game is quick and easy to learn and setup takes no time at all! I love the thematic tones of an early sci-fi building his colony just for one mistake over another dwindling it down for eliminations makes my choices ready make or break a run

  • Retrofuturistic Engine Destruction FTW
A fun little engine destruction game with a nostalgic retrofuturistic theme. It's relatively quick, punchy game, but might frustrate some traditional engine builder fans, as their work gets destroyed. Dig the art and its basically a card game with player boards and cardboard resource tokens. I think it's very fun and punchy, and I hope it works for you. ... show more

  • Easy to learn, stays interesting
I’ve played Moon Colony Bloodbath about five times now, with a mix of “board game people” and my family, and it’s been a hit with both groups. The biggest strength is how easy it is to understand—it doesn’t feel like a rules slog. The flow of the game and what you’re trying to do feels pretty intuitive, so you can get started quickly without constantly stopping to reference the rulebook. That said, it’s not shallow. Even though it’s approachable, it still keeps me thinking and planning the whole time. There’s enough strategy and decision-making to stay engaged and interested, which is exactly what I want from a card game like this. It’s one of those games that’s simple to get to the table, but has enough going on that I’m excited to play again. Overall, if you want a strategy card game that’s accessible but still mentally engaging, I definitely recommend it. ... show more

  • Game is great. Shipping was not. Game is great. Shipping was not.
Game is fun and relatively easy to pick up. I like it because even though you're competing against each other, you're not necessarily "attacking" each other or anything like that. Everyone is dealing with the same events so it's just luck on what cards are drawn and played. The rounds move fast and everything happens simultaneously so there's not a lot of down time/waiting for other players. (Though I guess it depends on how well they've built their engine). Everyone we've introduced it to has also enjoyed it. Unfortunately, it was shipped in what amounts to a paper bag (no padding) and so one corner of the box was damaged. The box was shrink wrapped when I received it. It's not a worth a return or exchange for me, but I'm honestly surprised it was just the one corner. I don't know if that's on Amazon or the seller but either way my rating is just for the game itself. ... show more

  • Great game but not that great box handling
Great game and really fun. It is not that complex of a game and people who enjoy engine building games will have a blast too. the art of the box and cards is really thematic. The only complain I have is the box came a little dented and it can happen with amazon with 2 other orders recently.
