About the game
MOON is a quick game where you'll learn how a real computer works. To win the game, you must help the astronauts fulfill their mission by solving all the goal cards. Each goal cards shows a combinations of bits. To solve the goal card, you must store that combination of bits in register A of the CPU. In each round, you can perform as many operations as you wish depending on the energy units available. There may also be hardware failures that will force you to repair them or look for alternative solutions. In addition to the solitary or collaborative mode, MOON provides 4 RAM modules to play in competitive mode. —description from the designer

Questions and answers
MOON supports 1–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. 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 MOON is 15–30 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 MOON for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
MOON has a complexity rating of 2.3 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
