Hellas & Elysium is the first expansion for the award-winning strategy game Terraforming Mars. It includes two new game boards that can be used instead of the base game's Tharsis board.

The Elysium board takes players to the other side of Mars' equator. Here there are vast lowlands in the north for creating oceans and dry land in the south with abundant minerals. Place a tile on Olympus Mons - the highest peak in the entire solar system - and get three free cards!

The Hellas board includes Mars' south pole and the gigantic seven-hex Hellas crater that practically begs to be transformed into a giant lake. When you build around the south pole, you receive new bonuses in the form of heat and perhaps even water.
