Age of the Moon
An original educational board game and an interactive workshop that simulates where, why,
and how nations might choose to cooperate or compete as they begin to explore and share
the lunar surface. The aim is to stimulate the discussion around different scenarios and
strategies around lunar infrastructure development.
Will nations cooperate on the Moon like
on the ISS? Or will they compete for scarce territory and resources?
The game dynamics have been designed by a multidisciplinary team in collaboration with
Space Generation Advocacy and Policy Platform (SGAPP) under the coordination of ODIS
Design for Space.
The first edition of the workshop has been enthusiastically received at the International
Astronautical Congress in Dubai in October 2021.
This work has been endorsed by IAF Space Habitat Committee as the outcomes are
considered to be relevant for the safe and sustainable operation of lunar surface habitats.
