Where it came from
Welcome to the Moon was released in 2021 as the third installment in the popular Welcome To series. Designed by Benoit Turpin, it serves as a campaign-based evolution of the original flip-and-write mechanics, tasking players with managing space missions across eight distinct boards. The game was developed to provide a narrative arc that bridges the gap between casual party games and structured legacy experiences, allowing for both standalone play and a connected campaign mode.
The aesthetic and functional design emphasizes modular complexity, with each board introducing unique rule variations that build upon the core gameplay loop of number placement and resource management. Illustrated by Anne Heidsieck, the visuals draw inspiration from classic science fiction, aiming to evoke a sense of optimism and exploration. The title was well-received by the board gaming community for its ability to increase the game's depth while remaining accessible to those familiar with the series' foundation.
