Brink Deluxe takes you into the Moonrakers universe with a highly interactive worker placement experience : You explore uncharted sectors, make deals, trade and above all you bend the score to your factions . Each hex visited gives you resources, actions, and faction power (by color). At the end of the round, all Vote secretly which faction will score: the value is multiplied by the power you have in that color. Timing, diplomacy and reading the table make the difference.
The placement is anything but trivial: you have three ships/workers of different sizes , each with a unique impact on the hex grid. Upgrade ships, hire ambassadors , Explore new systems and use influence to complete faction objectives that unlock abilities. The map reveals itself differently each game, opening up ever-new routes and plans. After 3 rounds , Whoever has the most Prestige leads the Moonrakers.

🐸 HOW TO PLAY
1. Three ships to conquer space
Each player has three ships (Class I, II, and III) and each turn places one on the hexagonal board. The chosen position determines exploration, resource collection, and military power ( m Power ) tied to nearby factions.
2. Exploration and resources
Ships allow you to reveal new hexes and collect Influence and Favor . Larger ships touch more hexes and therefore generate greater rewards. Resources are limited: if they run out, a revolt breaks out, forcing everyone to return half their supplies of that color.
3. Actions from hexes
By placing ships, you can gain Action cards, recruit Ambassadors with special abilities, draw Riders to manipulate the Council's votes, or upgrade your ships with Railguns (+1 power) and Cargo (double resources). Each choice affects your game engine and your final score.
4. The Council of Factions
At the end of each round, a secret vote is held to determine which two factions will gain prestige. Votes are drawn from your resources and can be manipulated with Riders and Action cards. Each player multiplies their Power in the winning factions by the prestige points assigned, creating the most political and tense phase of the game.
5. Prestige points and end of game
The game lasts three rounds. In addition to the Council, points are earned through faction objectives, Ambassador sets, completed upgrades, and certain Action cards. At the end, whoever has accumulated the most prestige becomes the leader who unites the factions and seals the fate of the Moonrakers.
