the people on that rocket.
You’re on the Moon. Now what?
What All This Means:
People are the
most valuable resource in
One False
Step.
Although the Moon produces fewer
basic resources, such as Gold and Food
(actually, the “gold” is diamond dust and
the “food” is cheese, if you want to get
technical), she makes up for this deficit
by producing people. Adorable little
moon people. Lots of them.
You’ll notice that none of the County
Seats is connected to a Moon Cave, but
pretty much every other city is. Whoever
starts producing people first will have a
pretty strong advantage, which means that
it’s worth it to pay dearly (if you have to)
for the first Moon-Man producing city.
Moon Men are helpful in the early
game to ramp up your resource produc-
tion, and defend your most valuable
claims, but you may quickly find that you
are running a surplus of Moon Men and
want to put them on your rockets.
If your strategy involves getting a lot
of people on your rocket, you’ll probably
want to invest in improving a single rock-
et to level 7 or 8 before you buy a second,
and putting all your men on that rocket.
But fear not, if you acquire few Moon
Caves. It’s better to pursue a multi-rocket
strategy and forego Moon Man production
rather than getting into too big a battle
over Moon Man production. The multi-
rocket strategy is built around spending
most of your gold on minimally-upgraded
rockets (build each up to level 3 or 4, at
most, and spend your money buying new
rockets). You must run a food surplus of
4, so that you can afford a rocket shot
every turn. This strategy also preserves
most of your original Influence chips, so
you will have less ground to recover with
your successful shots.
All in all, we think this expansion is a
great improvement to the game. It actual-
ly cuts the average game time from 3
hours to 2, which is no small feat.
Variations:
You can add extra people to
the basic game, if you like how they work
here. They come from big cities. Each
Tuesday, roll one ten-sided die, and com-
pare that number to the population of
every active city. If a city’s population (in
thousands) is equal to or greater than the
die roll, that city produces one person. It’s
a little like owning a Moon Cave, but much
more random.
You can also add the option to buy a
new full-sized rocket in the basic game for
the price of 20 Gold.
For a particularly mind-bending exer-
cise, you can build a 6-panel rectangular
board and treat the entire board as if it
wraps around. This is called the “Small
Moon” variation and it makes for a board
with no safe corners. Try it at your peril.
