Lucky Duck GamesLast Resort

In Last Resort, each player is the proud new owner of a defunct space station, which they plan to turn into the galaxy’s trendiest space resort!

Each round (or ‘season’) players will select one of their four advert cards to play, broadcasting it across the galaxy to attract tourists! These advert cards also dictate which parts of your station guests can check out of (generating income) and what kind of tile you can build this round. But beware – playing the same advert as another station will generate interference, causing Malfunction tiles to crop up on both stations!

When players are done checking out tourists and buying new tiles, rockets packed with new tourists will arrive! In the Arrivals phase, players draft tourists to visit their stations, with the players whose attractions and amenities most align with current trends getting to pick first (which usually means they will also get extra tourists, as arrival numbers are rarely an exact multiple of the player count!) If a player does not have a suitable spot for the type of tourist they wish to draft, the tourist is ejected into space, negatively affecting your station’s ratings!

At the end of the game, the winner is the player with the most QUID – or Quantum Universal Intergalactic Denomination, the accepted currency of all space resorts. QUID is generated not only by checking out tourists, but also competing to be the highest in each of the four ‘Prestige’ categories – Thrills, Entertainment, Relaxation and Inspiration!
