California: 1849. Where the mayors of stupidly rich Gold
Rush towns can squander the resources of their citizens on
pretty much whatever they want.
This month, it's a race to the Moon. Will it work? Probably
not. The real goal is to earn enough votes to become governor.
But it seems the best way to impress your constituents is
by doing something grotesquely stupid and dangerous, like
blasting them into space. It's one false step for Mankind,
one giant leap for you.
One False Step for Mankind is a board game about Gold Rush
towns with vast resources and only one thing to spend them
on: shooting a rocket to the Moon. This is a complex game,
taking upwards of three hours to play, but we thoroughly enjoy
it and we think you will too. It's also the first Cheapass
boxed game to contain full-color cards and boards!
In One False Step, you take the role of a city mayor, controlling
one or more towns on a random Old West board. You must manage
your gold mines, farms, and cities, trying to earn political
influence by building and firing off Moon rockets. Successful
Moon shots earn you points, and the first player to earn 30
points wins the game.
