Godspeed

Look, it’s not that the moon landing was faked. It happened. Neil hates the conspiracy theories. The lie is that we ever wanted to go to the moon. We needed a spectacle to show the people. To justify the massive budgets. The agencies.

Neil stepped on a rock 239,000 miles from Earth. Big deal. I stepped on an Exoplanet circling Ursae Majoris 18 months earlier. It’s a one-way trip—so there ain’t any going home. No ticker-tape parade for me, but that’s okay. I’m here for my country.

Godspeed is a unique worker-placement game with a few wrinkles that make it really something special. Each Team Member (worker) for a given Nation has two unique qualities: a specialty and an Influence Value. These are both important and will come into play throughout the course of the game. The most important bit of gameplay: Once you have assigned a Team Member to a task, they cannot be used for anything else until the next round!
