LUNAR HUSTLE
⬡ MOON COLONIZATION SURVIVAL CARD GAME · MISSION YEAR 2041 ⬡
🌕
Welcome, Colonist. I'm LUNA-7, your Mission Control AI. You and your plucky team of over-caffeinated scientists have just landed on the Moon. Everything is fine. Totally fine. That creaking sound? Normal. The weird glow on the horizon? Also normal. Your mission: survive long enough to actually colonize this place. Good luck. You'll need it.
🎯
Allocate Skills
Distribute 6 points across Science, Engineering, Resources, and Luck.
☠️
Draw Challenges
Flip a hazard card each round. Match the skill requirement to survive.
🃏
Play Resources
Use cards from your hand to boost stats. Or gamble with Luck. Not both.
📦
Limited Supply
Resources are finite. Play wisely. The Moon does not do refunds.
SKILL LOADOUT
You have 5 bonus points to distribute on top of your baseline stats — everyone starts at 1. Pour them into your strengths, hedge your weaknesses, or go full gambling gremlin on Luck. LUNA-7 has opinions but will keep them to itself. Mostly.

ALLOCATE SKILLS
Distribute 5 bonus points across Science, Engineering, Resources, and Luck. Everyone starts at 1 in each. This is your permanent base — choose wisely.
2
DRAW A CHALLENGE
Tap the red hazard deck. A challenge card flips revealing what skill it requires and how much of it you need. The challenge modal opens automatically.
3
CHOOSE YOUR APPROACH
You have three options — and only one per challenge:

▸ Play resource cards from your hand to boost stats for this challenge only (TEMP) or permanently (PERM).

▸ Luck Shot — a timing minigame. Hit the needle in the green window. Fail and lose 1 Luck point permanently.

▸ Hail Mary — 5% pure chaos chance. No skill required. No guarantees either.
4
RESOLVE & DRAW
Pass the challenge and score points. Fail and lose a life. Either way, draw 1 resource card from the green deck to replenish your hand. If your hand exceeds 6 cards you must discard one.
5
SURVIVE 10 ROUNDS
Clear all 10 challenges before losing 3 lives and the Moon is yours. Difficulty ramps hard — early rounds are warmup, late rounds require multiple high skills simultaneously.

1
COLOR BAR
Red = Hazard card. Green = Resource card. Color also matches the required skill type.
2
CARD TYPE BADGE
Confirms this is a HAZARD — a challenge you must overcome to survive.
3
CRISIS EMOJI
Visual shorthand for what's going wrong. Purely thematic — but very on-brand.
4
CARD NAME
The name of the crisis. Descriptive enough that you know what LUNA-7 is panicking about.
5
FLAVOR TEXT
LUNA-7's editorial commentary. Not mechanically useful. Spiritually essential.
6
SKILL REQUIREMENT
Which skill is needed and how much. Your stat must meet or beat the number on the right to pass automatically.
7
REQUIREMENT NUMBER
The threshold. Red = you fall short. Green = you meet or beat it. Play resource cards to close the gap.

GREEN BAR
Green = Resource card. A tool you can play from your hand to help with a challenge.
2
RESOURCE BADGE
Confirms this card is a resource. Can only be played during an active challenge — not before drawing one.
3
CARD NAME
The equipment or action being deployed. Each card has unique flavor tied to lunar colonization.
4
⚡ TEMP BOOST
Most cards are TEMP. The boost applies for this challenge only, then evaporates. Card is consumed win or lose.
5
🔒 PERM BOOST (rare)
Gold-bordered cards permanently raise your base stat forever. They never appear in your starting hand — only found mid-game. Activate them wisely.
DIFFICULTY TIERS
ROUNDS 1-3Single skill required, low threshold. Warmup.
ROUNDS 4-7Dual skills required, medium-high threshold. Resources start mattering.
ROUNDS 8-10Dual skills, brutal thresholds. You will almost certainly need resource cards AND luck.
🔬
SCIENCE
Covers radiation, biology, atmosphere, and research challenges. Invest here if you want to handle cosmic events and biological crises.
⚙️
ENGINEERING
Structures, repairs, EVA suits, and hardware failures. The Moon will try to break your base. Engineering is what keeps it standing.
📦
RESOURCES
Supply chain, food, water, life support, and crew morale. Running out of anything on the Moon is a very bad time.
🎲
LUCK
Controls the Luck Shot win window size. Luck 1 = 8% window. Luck 6 = 40% window. Each failed Luck Shot costs 1 Luck point permanently. A valid build strategy — but a risky one.
HAND RULES
MAX 6 CARDSIf you draw a 7th card you must discard one immediately.
1 CARD DRAWNYou draw exactly 1 resource card after every challenge, win or lose.
PERM CARDSNever appear in your starting hand. Only found via mid-game resource draws.
TEMP CARDSBoost lasts one challenge only. Card consumed win or lose. No take-backs once played.
