Lunar Board Game

Lunar Board Game

There are separate cards for numbers and suits.

Ever find yourself staring up at the stars at night? Have you been in awe of the moon’s and stars’ amazing beauty? It’s difficult not to be in awe and astonishment.

In the quick-play trick-taking game Lunar, two or four players combine the phases of the moon with nocturnal animals to create cards that are then played into tricks. The worth of each card in a trick is determined by adding them together.

Twelve tricks are performed in a round, and at the conclusion of each round, a score is given according to the quantity of tricks and cards won. The game ends when one person (or team) scores 30 points, and the team with the most points wins!

In the suspenseful game Lunar, players must balance when to win and lose tricks. Ensure that you and your partner are in harmony!
