Roxley board games6/24/2023 ![]() ![]() Once you have put enough money on a crew card in your area, you simply buy that crew member. I love how they implemented this in the game instead of just drawing a certain number of cards at the end of your turn. This is one of the only ways you can get new cards in your hand from your deck. The last action you can take is drawing two cards. Some of the spaces can only be dug with drills while some of the spaces can only be bombed. You gain bombs by covering up specific areas on the board, gaining crew members, or from artifacts. Bombing works the exact same way as drilling only you have to cover up areas in a specific pattern. This is a little tricky and takes some planning. Everything you gain from digging you have to put on one single card to purchase. ![]() The materials you cover up you get to keep and use to buy new crew from your stacks of cards. You take tiles based on how many drill icons and you cover spaces on the main board. ![]() Drilling allows you to drill on the main board. If you play different color cards that will cost you two actions. In order to drill more, you need to play cards of the same color. You can drill as many spaces as you have drill icons on the cards you play. To drill, you simply play cards from your hand. Each player will have four stacks to buy from. Each stack needs to have the same color and in order from cheapest on top to most expensive on bottom. Each player takes his starting deck of ten cards then sets up his personal buy decks. Each color, or team, has a deck of cards to it. There will be two artifact spots on the board, place a random artifact token face down on each spot. The main board is double sided, pick one side and put it in the middle of the table. This game has a couple of different mini games within the game. Hopefully you have made the right choices and maximized your moves the best. Each team will have the chance to hire new crew members, gain minerals, and achieve goals. In Super Motherload, each player plays as a team of explorers set out to dig on Mars and gain the most money. Hopefully it lived up to my expectations. It took me a while to find but when I did, I jumped on it. I watched a video on it and was in from the beginning. It’s just so fun to say and when you tell people, they usually give you this look like, that is a real game? It sounds like this second rate game that failed on Kickstarter and they decided to make it themselves using their garage and money from their birthday cards from Grandma. When I heard about Super Motherload I was instantly hooked just from the name. Games that don’t look or feel like all the other games. ![]()
