Plepic Games is a group of board game enthusiasts who created Lunar Base — a Kickstarted card game perfected for over three years and across continents.

Lunar Base is a 2-6 player strategy card game where you compete to build the most powerful moon base.

Four ways to win, all live at once — and agents you can send into someone else's base to slow them down.

  • Funded by over 2,000 backers

    It hit its target in two hours and closed at 4,606% of it. Then the game was printed, boxed and posted, and the backers got their copies.

  • “The look of the cards from an artwork and graphic design point of view – it’s very clear, very functional while also looking pretty. Which is a fine balance to get in games.”

    Paul Grogan, Gaming Rules!

  • “Easily a filler that could take over the whole night.”

Origin Story

Finally, enjoying the perfume of fresh print

Lunar Base began in 2017 when six friends in Estonia set themselves a simple challenge: create a portable card game they would genuinely want to play together. What started as a rough homemade prototype grew through years of experimentation, playtesting, balancing, artwork and world-building into a fast, compact strategy game about humanity’s race to colonize the Moon. Along the way the team grew, ideas were tested and discarded, and countless small improvements shaped the game into its final form—culminating in a successful Kickstarter campaign that transformed a project between friends into a published board game played around the world.
