Earthrise

Description

The Apollo 8 mission led astronauts Frank Borman, Jim Lovell and Bill Anders to become the first humans to see the far side of the Moon and witness the first rise of the Earth above the horizon of our satellite. The iconic photograph, known as Earthrise, makes us shrink before the immensity of the Cosmos. In the game you will play several turns to obtain Mission cards and Maneuver tokens while trying to avoid Alerts. You will gain rewards and maybe, go down in History. If you are lucky enough, you will capture the best photographs of the Mission and whoever earns the most Honors will be the winner of the game. Earthrise is one of the most iconic images of space exploration. Captured in 1968 during the Apollo 8 mission, it shows the Earth rising over the Moon’s horizon, offering a stunning view of our planet, in contrast to the Moon’s desolate surface. —description from the publisher
