## Description

From the manufacturer 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, the oxygen level, and the ocean coverage until the environment is habitable. In Terraforming Mars, you play one of those corporations and work together in the terraforming process, but compete for getting victory points that are awarded not only for your contribution to the terraforming, but also for advancing human infrastructure throughout the solar system, and doing other commendable things. The players acquire unique project cards (from over two hundred different ones) by buying them to their hand. The cards can give you immediate bonuses, as well as increasing your production of different resources. Many cards also have requirements and they become playable when the temperature, oxygen, or ocean coverage increases enough.

Review: A brilliant game for the whole family - Terraforming Mars is a "Pringles" game; once you've played once, you keep coming back to it. I was first introduced to it by a friend, and soon after bought my own so that I could keep playing. It is very well-balanced and well-made, and provides plenty of fun on an evening which otherwise might have been quite dull. The box comes with a board, 5 player sheets, 5 bags of player cubes (red, yellow, blue, green, and black), 3 bags of metallic cubes for currency, around 200 project cards, and various tiles which indicate forests, cities, oceans, and other structures. All of these are of a decent quality, and so far we have seen no wear and tear to any of them. The board sometimes doesn't lie completely flat, but this doesn't significantly affect gameplay in any way. It is worth bearing in mind that the game takes up a large amount of space, so having a large table or section of floor space clear is a must. It also comes with a much needed instruction booklet; Terraforming Mars has a steep but not long-lasting learning curve which can seem daunting, but is well worth giving a go. After playing only one game, the whole family had gotten a firm grasp of the basic rules, and we're now playing near expertly, able to plan ahead and strategise based on our knowledge of the game. Each game takes between 2 and 4 hours, depending on how long it takes indidivuals to decide on their turn. This doesn't mean the game is boring though; far from it! The gameplay is interesting and even addictive, with none of us noticing how much time has passed while we've been playing. You can also never tell who has won the game until the final scoring happens, leading to some tense moments and unexpected winners. This also contributes to constantly wanting to go back for more, so you can improve on your previous score or try different approaches. Since owning the game, we have also bought 2 expansions; the "Preludes" expansion and the "Colonies" expansion. The Preludes expansion adds a huge amount to the game, and I view it as a necessity as it not only decreases play time (due to providing more resources) but also allows for more focused strategies; the Colonies expansion is also a great addition as it gives players more options within the game. Overall, Terraforming Mars is a brilliant board game which is well worth the money. Due to the plenty of combinations of cards and strategies, the game has endless replayability, and will make sure you never have a dull board games night again!
Review: One of the best boardgames ever - This game does require a bit of rule reading and YouTube watching on your 1st playthrough. But once you've played 1 game, the rules are really easy going forward. Games typically can go on for a few hours, but it's utterly engrossing, and you're always wanting 1 more turn. Great theme with fantastic board design and engineering aspects. There is so much replayability to this game.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: $90+? Is this the right price point? Other sites have it for $45-50.**
A: $90 is an inflated price that some people are charging because the game is out of stock at most retailers. The games list price is $69.95, and some stores will likely sell it at a discount. If you want the game now, you have to pay inflated prices. If you're willing to wait, expect to find it for $50-70.

**Q: Does anyone know if they're planning on fixing the component quality in the second printing?**
A: The only major change in the second printing is that they will ditch the box-insert entirely (which is for the best).

**Q: What is the difference between the basic pack and the premium pack? Thanks!**
A: Doesn't seem to be any difference.   I am pretty sure there isn't a "premium pack" edition offered by the publisher.  I'd stay away from the premium pack edition until someone can actually tell us what makes it premium beyond the inflated price.

**Q: what is the different between basic pack and premium pack?**
A: I would contact the seller to make certain, but I think the premium pack includes the 4 extra project cards that were given away to promote the game back in 2016.  You can find these 4 cards for sale on eBay for around $20 which is the price difference between the one premium pack game I found on Amazon versus the basic packs (though if you're a member of Board Game Geek.com, you can buy them there for $3 each).  So the basic pack has 208 different project cards and the premium should have 212.
