Description

A game you build first

What sets the Games range apart is that you build the game before you play it. Lunar Command drops you into a moonscape where the aim is to complete tasks and outpace your opponents. The building is part of the fun, since every player knows the board inside out once it is snapped together. At 277 pieces the set stays compact and fits comfortably on a kitchen table without anyone having to clear much space first. Younger players in particular enjoy the moment when the board is finished and the first round begins.

Orange, lime and yellow

The main colours are orange, lime and yellow, a loud mix that recalls space suits and hazard signs. That keeps the board easy to read from a distance, which is genuinely useful in a board game. If you like colourful models, this makes an eye-catching shelf piece. The bright tones also work well as accents in other building projects, whenever grey or brown surfaces need a bit of livening up. On a shelf, the set stands out among more muted models and brings colour into a collection.

Only 30 different parts

Among the 277 pieces there are just 30 different ones, so the set consists mostly of recurring bricks and plates. That makes the build calm and clear, as similar movements repeat. For rebuilds the low variety is no drawback: large quantities of a few part types are very useful when you make surfaces, walls or chassis. If you want a simple, compact box of coloured standard bricks, this is a sensible foundation. That also makes the pieces easy to sort.

Parts list and rebuilding

The parts list on this page shows exactly which parts are included and in what quantity. That helps if you want to check a second-hand set or look for individual bricks. If you do not own the game, the “What can I build?” tool shows which models you can put together from your own collection. And if you already have it at home, you get ideas for what else the parts can become. The list is also a good starting point if you want to design a game of your own.
