Moonrakers

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!
