Moon Adventure - How to Play - Review (English)

Moon Adventure is a reimplementation of Deep Sea Adventure from Oink games. Oink games manages to pack a lot of game in a travel sized box and this is their masterpiece so far. Moon Adventure is a coop in which you try to survive on the surface of the moon when a violent magnetic storm has destroyed your supplies. Despite limited supplies of oxygen, you have to get on the surface to collect the scattered supplies, so the base can survive until a rescue mission reaches you. This makes for a complicated puzzle that lets little room for error. Moon Adventure is playable with 2 to 5 players and keeps you of the streets for 40 minutes.
In this video we show you how to play Moon Adventure and what we think of it after dozens of games. Enjoy!

Great review. I love Deep Sea Adventure and was excited when I heard about this one. This review helped me figure out whether this was for me

[@BoardgameNinjas]

And was it for you? I both like them. I like the straightforwardness push-your-luck of the Deep Sea and the tactical component of the Moon.

[@joshbodah5921]

@@BoardgameNinjas I don't think so - I think what you mentioned about Deep Sea Adventure having more of an edge and being focussed on push your luck is the heart of why I like it so much. This game looks interesting in its own right, but there are a lot of games that feel like they fit in the same slot as Moon Adventure. Looks gorgeous though!

Fantastic review. Thank you very much.

Good video as always!!

Congrats on still being basically the only English language video talking about this game seven months on. I guess Oink Games didn't send out review copies or something, as none of the other review channels have covered it.

[@BoardgameNinjas]

No me neither. I just backed the KS. I find it strange myself, especially since it is quite a good game. They changed the packaging to an un-Oink broader box. But more important is: did the video helped you understand the game, made you buy the game or was comprehensible at all? ;-)

@@BoardgameNinjas I had misunderstood the OGS and thought you could only get one per turn. That made the game seem impossible so it makes more sense now and also makes the rover make sense.

[@BoardgameNinjas]

@@lsorense Wow that is really hardcore level. I still think the rover is a stretch to get to, but if you plan carefully...

[@lsorense]

@@BoardgameNinjas I was wondering if people were actually managing to always end on an OGS so I went to find a game play video to see how it could be done. I will have to try it again properly this time.

the special edition was a collaberation between Oink Games and the Manga/Anime "Space Brothers/ Uchuu Kyoudai", so the extra roles are based on the characters of the series

How nice to know. Thanks!
