Moon Pre-Order
Sinister Fish Games has a new drafting game available for pre-order. "Moon is the third and final entry in Haakon Hoel Gaarder’s loose trilogy which began with Villagers. It is a competitive game of lunar base-building for 1-5 players. The heaviest game of the three, it’s still easy to learn, but has a great deal of strategic depth. Using the familiar “pick & pass” mechanism with a new twist, plus elements of worker placement, Moon is filled with crunchy decisions!"

Reviews
Lord of the Rings: Adventure Book Game (Coopgestalt): “This works fantastic as a solo game: I still want to replay through the whole campaign even though I’ve already played once before! And this is easy to take out for a cooperative game.”

Number Drop (Board Game Gumbo): “If you like puzzles, and you like randowriters, it’s a solid addition for your game nights, and the player counts means this is a perfect game to end the night.”

Goat’s Day Out (GeekMom): “Are you looking for a fast, fun family game that requires you to use your brains but not in a way that’s crazy overwhelming? This is the game that hits all of those qualifiers. I particularly like how the game is fast and easy enough for eight-year-olds to play on their own, but not so simple that it will be boring for older players.”
