Moonrakers: Binding Ties

About this expansion

Moonrakers: Binding Ties is an expansion for 3–5 players, designed for games lasting about 120 minutes. Released in 2023, it adds a new system of faction relationships and rewards to the Moonrakers experience.

As the UA consolidates power across the surrounding planet clusters, the Moonrakers begin to move beyond their petty conflicts and unite under one banner. Binding Ties focuses on the benefits of cooperation, giving players additional rewards when they ally with one another.

Each player represents a great house and receives a Faction Reputation Terminal for tracking relationships with the various factions. Reputation changes as players complete Contracts with a great house’s champion or lose standing when those Contracts fail.

• Track relationships with multiple factions on a dedicated Reputation Terminal.
• Gain Reputation by completing a Contract with a great house’s champion.
• Lose Reputation when a Contract fails.
• Spend Reputation to gain cards or actions, or save it for additional Prestige.

Reputation can make the difference between completing a Contract and failing it, so every change in standing matters. Players must decide whether to use their Reputation immediately for useful benefits or preserve it throughout the game.

Careful planning can make saved Reputation especially valuable: accumulated standing may ultimately provide additional Prestige. With its emphasis on faction ties, shared rewards, and meaningful resource decisions, Moonrakers: Binding Ties gives players another way to shape their path through the game.
