Terraforming Mars: Ares Expedition - Collector's Edition invites you to embark on an exhilarating journey to transform the Red Planet into a thriving habitat.
As the leader of an interplanetary corporation, your mission is clear: make Mars habitable and profitable. Use your mega credits (MC) to invest in innovative project cards that will accelerate the terraforming process and elevate your terraform rating (TR).
Your success hinges on expanding essential global parameters: oceans, oxygen, and temperature. The higher your TR, the greater your corporation's income, leading to more victory points (VP) by the game's conclusion.
Each round is packed with strategic choices, as players navigate through distinct phases with five dynamic options shaping their activities. Whether it’s constructing new project cards, executing specific actions, generating valuable resources like plants and heat, or researching to expand your opportunities, every turn offers exciting new possibilities.
Experience the thrill of simultaneous actions, ensuring a fast-paced and engaging game for all involved. The game board features dedicated tracks for oxygen, temperature, and terraform rating, along with spaces for ocean tiles, essential for creating a livable environment.
The climax occurs when oxygen levels reach 14%, oceans total 9 tiles, and temperatures rise above freezing at +8°C—signaling the dawn of life on Mars!
Compete fiercely against fellow players, as the victor will be the one who accumulates the highest VP by the end of this captivating adventure. Dive into the strategic depth and excitement of Terraforming Mars: Ares Expedition - Collector's Edition, and claim your place in the race to terraform the Red Planet!
