Description

Terraforming Mars is one of the most successful strategy games of recent years, offering a deep and immersive engine-building experience. Players take on the role of giant corporations with the common goal of making Mars habitable, while competing to see who will contribute the most to this colossal project. It combines science fiction with resource management in a result that has reached the top of preferences worldwide.

A taste of the game!

In the 25th century, humanity embarks on its greatest undertaking in history: the terraforming of the planet Mars. Major corporations, supported by the World Government of Earth, launch massive projects to increase the temperature, oxygen level, and ocean coverage of the planet. In this game, science meets strategy as you manage resources, build cities, and create entire ecosystems in a hostile desert. Every decision you make affects not only the progress of the planet, but also the profitability of your company.

What's in the box?

  • 1 Game board (map of Mars)
  • 5 Player boards
  • 233 Project cards
  • 17 Corporation cards
  • 200 Player markers (transparent cubes in 5 colors)
  • 200 Resource markers (bronze, silver, and gold cubes)
  • 3 Board markers (white cubes)
  • 80 Terrain tiles (cities, greenery, oceans, and special tiles)
  • 1 First player marker
  • 1 Rulebook

Everything you need to know to play

The game unfolds in rounds, called Generations. Each Generation consists of four phases. First, the player order is determined, followed by the Research phase, where players acquire new project cards. In the main Action phase, each player may take up to two actions on their turn. These include playing a card, funding a project, using a standard board action, or converting accumulated resources (such as plants into greenery or heat into temperature increase).

The strategy is based on building an efficient resource production engine. Project cards offer unique abilities, from introducing greenhouse gases to constructing space stations. The game ends when the three global parameters (oxygen, temperature, oceans) reach the level that allows humans to live. The player with the highest Terraforming Rating and the most victory points from cards, cities, and achievements is declared the winner.

    Very strait forward but still complex enough to be fun to play and keep players focused at the same time.. Played both with 2 and 4 persons, with the beginner corporations as well as the assymetrical aspect of the other corporations/cards
    Would definitely recommend.

    One of the best board games. Highly addictive and entertaining, it captivates you with its theme and the way it is implemented.
    The limited, but thematically fair, luck factor is overshadowed by the player's strategic choices at a tactical level.
    Although the components are of lower quality, the aesthetic result they create is impressive.
    Now, the original player mats of the game are also available on the market, greatly enhancing the experience.
    The solo mode is exceptional!

    One of the most classic board games nowadays. It is immovable, in the top ten of BGG in recent years. Try also its expansions.
