ASTROPRENEURS NEEDED ON THE MOON!
Earth’s space agencies are colonizing the moon. Robots have made circular platforms that support agricultural, commercial, industrial, and residential lunar modules. There are one hundred and fifty two empty lots ready to be ‘claimed’ in this Lunarsphere, and investors on Earth are waiting to build units.

Lunar Real Estate Brokers are needed to facilitate private investment on the moon. Forty three Contracts and twenty two Blueprints are available, and all twenty-four Moonrail station sites are empty, ready for purchase.

The first developer to link the Lunarsphere to the moonrail system will be forever remembered as the ‘Colony Founder’.

Lunarsphere is a moon colony board game. Developers match contracts with blueprints as they race to buy land, build modules, and be the first to construct four Moonrail Stations.

The year is 2014 AD. A new breed of pioneer is migrating to the next frontier. Your request has been accepted. You have been chosen to help colonize the moon!

As a ‘Lunar Real Estate Developer’ you will collect and match lucrative contracts with high tech blueprints to build a self-sufficient moon colony one module at a time.

Homesteader corporations are waiting for a functioning Lunarsphere to provide investors with new opportunities for profit. Universities are funding the moon colony’s space academy, hoping to collect commercially valuable scientific data. Capitalists are investing in low gravity manufacturing plants to make superior fiber optic routers, circuit boards, perfectly round ball bearings and flawless mineral crystals. Many travel organizations are interested in building hotels and promoting the Lunarsphere as the ultimate Honeymoon vacation destination.  Still more shareholders are working to harvest payloads from moon dust. The dense reagolith contains plenty of aluminum, copper, iron, magnesium, and carbon silicates. These metals will be refined and finished into the wire, glass, steel beams, cinder blocks and ingredients for growth. The first factories are energized with portable solar power generators brought from Earth, but soon these are also manufactured in the metropolis.

The most precious element found in the lunar soil is He3. The discovery of this rare isotope of the helium has spawned a ‘moon rush’ as Earth bound physicists race to discover the secret of fusion power. He3 is the missing ingredient needed for a Fusion Reactor, and one shuttle load of this stuff could power Earth’s industry for a whole year!

There is no time to lose. After touch down you’ll find yourself standing on an empty grid that will one day contain ten thousand settlers living and working in four different zones. At the outermost edges of the circular lattice you’ll see the proposed moonrail station sites and the mono-rail tracks of this friction free transportation system.

You and five other competing real estate agents will race to install four Moonrail Stations each (at great personal expense) to allow the shipment of goods in and out of the future colony. You will do it for fame, and outrageous profits!

The first developer to build a Moonrail Station in all four zones of the Lunarsphere will control the colony’s flow of goods, and that astropreneur will certainly become wealthy, politically powerful, and famous; that foremost pioneer will be forever honoured as Lunarsphere’s Colony Founder.

On Weds April 7th 2010, myself Rob Campbell, Will Webb, Brandi Blackler of Artistic Tendency, and Michelle Webb of MuskokaGirl.ca played Lunarsphere at Will’s condo in Toronto.
