About the game
Moon Colony Bloodbath is a card game from Rio Grande Games, designed by Donald X. Vaccarino (2025). It plays 1–5 players in 45–90 minutes, for ages 14+. BoardGameGeek players rate it 7.6 out of 10 and call it medium-light (2.2 / 5 weight).
Cities on the moon! This will be humanity’s crowning achievement. At last, no longer bound to the Earth; the moon, a stepping stone to the stars. The rockets are loaded with supplies and colonists; the robots are programmed and ready. Everything has been planned down to the tiniest detail, and there is no chance whatsoever of failure.
To the moon!
This is an engine-building engine-losing tableau game, with a shared deck the players build that makes things happen, many of them bad things that kill people in your moon colony, but some positive, and some that let you build up. The game lasts until one player’s moon colony has no people left in it, or the players reach the bottom of the Event deck; the player with the most survivors wins.
