{"product_id":"rocketville","title":"Rocketville","description":"\u003cp\u003eWelcome 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.\n\nEach 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.\n\nBut 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.\n\nGameplay Highlights:\n\nSecret bidding and simultaneous card play keep the action brisk and competitive.\n\nPoint-to-point movement simulates a chaotic campaign trail through Rocketville's quirky neighborhoods.\n\nSpecial robot helpers and shady promises add unpredictable effects and replayability.\n\nSci-fi theme and vintage pulp aesthetic bring charm to a streamlined area-control experience.\n\nSimilar to:\n\n\n     Farlight – Modular engine-building meets simultaneous bidding in a retro space-race.\n     Monkeys on the Moon – Political shenanigans among ridiculous alien monkey tribes.\n     Portal: The Uncooperative Cake Acquisition Game – Area control and sabotage in a pastel-colored bureaucratic nightmare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3–5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlay time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 45 min\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplexity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.58 \/ 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Richard Garfield\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2006\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Avalon Hill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51924724777176,"sku":"SB-0E78B41ADAA6-BOARD-GAMES-UNK-SEALED","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/6271\/0488\/files\/guixb6438jmq07aj052uwjhm9d6i.jpg?v=1785456579","url":"https:\/\/abbyboardwalkstore.com\/products\/rocketville","provider":"Boardwalk Cafe \u0026 Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
