Launch Pad is a family strategy card game for 2 to 4 players, ages 10 and up.

An expert with the necessary skill set is required in order to advance a completed rocket to the next phase.

Rockets can also be manned with astronauts and oxygen, be stamped with a quality certificate, and be placed under maximum security in order to be worth additional points or be protected from action cards that could affect them.

At the end of the game, players score points based on the rockets they have built.

Specialty cards grant a player a specific ability or protection for as long as they are in play.

Launch Pad cards advance through each of a player's zones and subsequently are placed at the center of the table.

When all Launch Pad cards have been placed together, each player takes a final turn and the game ends.
