  • Description

    In the 2400s, mankind begins to terraform the planet Mars. Giant corporations, sponsored by the World Government on Earth, initiate huge projects to raise the temperature, oxygen level, and ocean coverage until the environment is habitable. In Terraforming Mars, you play as one of these corporations and work together in the terraforming process, but compete for victory points awarded for your contribution to terraforming, advancing human infrastructure throughout the solar system, and other commendable actions.

    Players acquire unique project cards (from over two hundred different ones) by buying them to their hand. The cards provide immediate bonuses and increase your production of different resources. Many cards also have requirements and become playable as the temperature, oxygen, or ocean coverage increases. Buying cards is costly, so there's a balance between buying cards and actually playing them. Standard Projects are always available to complement your cards. Your basic income and score are based on your Terraform Rating. However, your income is supplemented by your production, and you also get VPs from many other sources.

    Each player tracks their production and resources on their player boards, and the game uses six types of resources: MegaCredits, Steel, Titanium, Plants, Energy, and Heat. On the game board, you compete for the best places for your city tiles, ocean tiles, and greenery tiles. You also compete for various Milestones and Awards worth many VPs. Each round is called a generation and consists of the following phases:

    Player order shifts clockwise.
    Research phase: All players buy cards from four privately drawn.
    Action phase: Players take turns doing 1-2 actions from these options: Playing a card, claiming a Milestone, funding an Award, using a Standard project, converting plants into greenery tiles (and raising oxygen), converting heat into a temperature raise, and using the action of a card in play. The turn continues around the table (sometimes several laps) until all players have passed.
    Production phase: Players get resources according to their terraform rating and production parameters.
    When the three global parameters (temperature, oxygen, ocean) have all reached their goals, the terraforming is complete, and the game ends after that generation. Count your Terraform Rating and other VPs to determine the winning corporation!
