I ordered this game December 17, 2024. It might take up to two months to receive it as each game is individually packaged.
It’s like someone discovered this alien board game and now we want to play it … but the rules aren’t in English … they are in ALIEN!
It would seem that most of the fun of the game will be just figuring out HOW to play the game. The game designer and publisher have stated that they will NOT answer any rules questions!
Here are some articles (reviews?) of the game(?)
- Designer Diary (background on the game written by the designer)
- Three Phases of Six Moons (written by someone who actually IS a translator of dead languages (ie Biblical))
- The Alien board game people are spending months translating (Polygon) first article I read about this game
- “People have spent 20 hours solving” City of Six Moons, the board game you must learn an alien language to play (Games Radar)
- BGG – Forum – Possible Errata (nope, it was correct – but the thread is interesting)
SIdenote: one of the “blue” cards looked a tad bit purple … the game designer has confirmed that this was a printing issue, and the card really should be the regular blue color!
A fairly short look at the “game” (or whatever you might call it):
