Lunar Rush is a Euro-style board game for 1 to 4 players. Each player runs one of Earth's four major corporate conglomerates, competing to mine the Moon for two newly discovered "wonder materials": lunethyst crystals and lunarium ore. Play is simultaneous, and the game combines time-based resource management, market economics, bidding and tableau/engine-building.
Each turn, players bid GigaCredits (GC) for the best space routes to and from the Moon. Slower routes let you load more onto the ship. Players upgrade Moon bases and place astronaut workers to produce resources and Moon goods, which they sell in Earth's markets.
The game ends after seven turns. GC counts as Victory Points, and the player with the most GC wins.
