Terraforming Mars

Terraforming Mars

Corporations want to transform Mars into a planet resembling Earth. To do that, they’ll need to raise the temperature, increase oxygen levels in the atmosphere and create oceans. Increasing one of these parameters will also increase not only your Terraform Rating and therefore your victory points but also your income. You’ll need this money to invest in projects to advance the terraforming process. Making use of the project cards is the central mechanism of this ambitious strategy game. Ramping up the production of various resources will allow you to build more cities, create green areas and introduce life forms. Science-fiction? “Terraforming Mars” is such a vivid recreation of the theme that it feels like the colonisation of the red planet is almost at hand.
