Description
Moonrakers is a game of shipbuilding, temporary alliances, and shrewd negotiation set in a space-faring future. The players form a loose band of mercenaries, but while they are united in name, actual alliances are shaky as players are pitted against each other in the quest to become the new leader of the Moonrakers.
Moonrakers is a deck-building game in which players choose Contracts to attempt alone or with Allies in order to gain Prestige and Credits. After negotiating terms with Allies, players use their decks of Action cards to play Thrusters, Shields, Weapons, Reactors, and Crew to fulfill the requirements on each Contract. Each type of Action card has additional effects such as extra Actions, drawing additional cards, and protecting players from Hazards encountered while attempting Contracts.
Players create powerful decks and gain special abilities by upgrading their ships and hiring Crew Members. This helps them accomplish more difficult and rewarding contracts alone, letting them keep more Prestige and Credits for themselves.
Allies negotiate who will receive the Prestige, Credits, and risk of Hazard from Contracts, but if you don't make your offers enticing enough players may be tempted to betray you! The first player to 10 Prestige wins, but be careful as hazards encountered on Contracts reduce your Prestige!

| Best | |
| Un des meilleurs deck-builder sur le marché. Ça combine deck-building et négociation. Le visuel est particulier, mais très bien fait. On doit prendre des risques, convaincre ses adversaires et recruter les meilleures cartes possibles pour être le premier à 10 points. Solide. Solide. | |

| An beautifully produced deck-builder | |
| It's hard not to appreciate the aesthetic of this game for starters. Beyond that, this is just an excellent deck builder. Cards gained provide powerful and exciting boosts to your deck. The game plays smoothly and relatively quickly. Points are tight which makes for great tension. Negotiation element is unique and worked very well in my game group. Above all, I enjoyed the puzzle presented by each of the objectives--producing the right combination of cards to be successful is tricky but incredibly rewarding when you do. I highly recommend this one to fans of deck builders. | |
