Shackleton Base: A Journey to the Moon
← All Shackleton Base: A Journey to the Moon questions
When you retrieve astronauts from the crater and have too few free slots, who goes to the Lunar Gateway?
The designer confirmed the one-at-a-time order in December 2025, and the rulebook says an astronaut goes to the Lunar Gateway only if there is no room.
Retrieval is resolved one astronaut at a time in crater order. If a slot is free you must place the astronaut in your base; only astronauts with no room become excess. You may then rearrange everyone before income, and whatever still does not fit returns to the Lunar Gateway.
