About the game
Lunar Rush: Innovations brings bold new twists to the game, expanding the original game’s strategic options and making every decision more exciting than ever. This major expansion introduces asymmetric corporations, each with unique abilities and play styles that will shape how you bid for routes, manage resources, and compete for profits. No two corporations play the same, meaning every game will feel fresh and full of new challenges. For those times when four players just aren’t enough, Innovations also adds a fifth player, making it easier than ever to bring more people into the race for lunar dominance. On top of that, the expansion introduces random events, awards, and milestones—new layers of depth that reward clever planning and quick adaptation. With Innovations, every session of Lunar Rush will feel dynamic and unpredictable, pushing you to rethink your old strategies and adapt to new opportunities. Whether you’re a seasoned player or just getting started, this expansion offers exciting new ways to experience the game. —description from the publisher
Questions and answers

Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Lunar Rush: Innovations is 45–75 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Lunar Rush: Innovations for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone.
