LUNA Capital (2021) is set in 1977, the year humans finally settle the surface of the Moon. Companies sponsor teams of scientists, builders, publicists and freelance nightlife entertainers to build the best client base in the galaxy, and the Lunar Colonization Authority will name the best project the capital of the whole colony. You draft tiles from an open display, place them in your settlement and collect sets to make it work. It is not the older Luna by Stefan Feld, so check the year. A compact, quick builder for one to four, around 45 minutes, with sci-fi retro charm.

Who it's for

You like compact tile-laying builders with a retro sci-fi twist, and you often play in pairs or solo.

Not for you if…

You want much interaction or a long strategic arc. It is a light builder, and the decisions stay tidy.

Vibe's take

Calm, tidy and a little puzzly. You balance sets and layout while watching the display for the tile your neighbor needs.
