🌍 Earthrise – Quando l’umanità vide sé stessa per la prima volta

Rivivi la missione Apollo 8 e scatta la fotografia che ha cambiato la storia.

Silenzio.
Solo il ronzio costante della navicella e il battito del tuo cuore sotto la tuta.

Attraverso l’oblò, l’orizzonte lunare si curva lentamente — e poi accade: la Terra sorge. Un piccolo globo blu sospeso nel vuoto, fragile e perfetto, che racchiude tutto ciò che conosci.

In Earthrise, sei uno degli astronauti della missione Apollo 8, impegnato a compiere manovre precise, evitare allarmi di bordo e catturare lo scatto più iconico della storia dell’esplorazione spaziale.

Ogni turno è una decisione tra rischio e controllo: pianificare, correggere la traiettoria, aspettare il momento perfetto o fidarti del tuo istinto. Perché nello spazio, anche un click può diventare eternità.

“Guardare la Terra da lassù non è solo una foto. È capire chi siamo davvero.”

🚀 Un gioco di tensione, pianificazione e meraviglia, ispirato alla missione Apollo 8

Earthrise è un gioco da tavolo strategico per 3–5 giocatori, ideato da Perepau Llistosella ed Eloi Pujadas, con illustrazioni di Xavier Llistosella, pubblicato da Kokorïn Games. Ispirato alla missione Apollo 8 del 1968, questo titolo fa rivivere l’emozione della prima visione della Terra sorgere sopra l’orizzonte lunare.

Durante la partita, i giocatori alternano turni per ottenere carte Missione e token Manovra, cercando di evitare Alert e gestire l’equilibrio tra precisione tecnica e opportunità fotografica. Ogni scelta può avvicinarti al successo o portarti fuori rotta, ma solo chi saprà catturare lo scatto perfetto e ottenere più Onori entrerà nella storia.

Con il suo mix di strategia accessibile e tensione cinematografica, Earthrise unisce meccaniche fluide, tema evocativo e un ritmo crescente che culmina nel momento più poetico dell’esplorazione umana.

🪐 MECCANICA CON SENSO – “IL CONTROLLO DELLA TRAIETTORIA”

Nel cuore di Earthrise c’è un sistema di gestione tattica del rischio: i giocatori bilanciano le proprie azioni per raccogliere carte Missione e token Manovra, mentre cercano di evitare gli Alert che possono compromettere l’intera spedizione.

Ogni turno rappresenta una decisione critica di volo: spendere risorse per mantenere la rotta o rischiare per ottenere una foto più spettacolare. La tensione nasce dal contrasto tra collaborazione tematica e competizione meccanica — si è parte della stessa missione, ma solo uno verrà ricordato per aver scattato “la foto perfetta”.

Il risultato è un’esperienza di gioco intelligente, poetica e profondamente umana, dove la precisione scientifica incontra la meraviglia dell’ignoto.
