Moonscope

2023–2024

Moonscope is a print-and-play memory cardgame for 2-4 players.

Taking on the new role of celestial matchmaker and using your handy L-073 telescope, search for lost moons across the galaxy and connect them to lonely planets based on their unique attributes.

Moonscope was created for A Game By Its Cover 2023, an annual game jam where participants turn a fictional cartridge art from the My Famicase Exhibition into a real thing. Originally inspired by the Moon Scope famicase by Ryan McKnight.

The game was later exhibited as part of the Feminine Play exhibition from 4–18 October 2024 at Carlisle Street Arts Space, St Kilda Town Hall.
