Rocketville

Welcome to Rocketville—a retro-futuristic city of ambition, androids, and outrageous campaigning! In this fast-paced political contest, 3–5 players blast across the city’s districts, aiming to become mayor by winning the most votes.

Each round, players simultaneously bid for control of a district using a secret card from their hand. Victory in a district earns a Campaign Token and a chance to draw new cards, claim endorsements, or collect power-boosting Robot and Promise tokens. Smart timing, bluffing, and calculated risk-taking are essential as players jockey for influence and try to predict their opponents' plays.

But be warned—winning one district might mean losing your edge elsewhere. With ever-shifting momentum and bonus points awarded for collected endorsements, strategic hand management is key to building an unbeatable political machine.

Gameplay Highlights:

Secret bidding and simultaneous card play keep the action brisk and competitive.

Point-to-point movement simulates a chaotic campaign trail through Rocketville's quirky neighborhoods.
