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 projects (cards) can represent anything from introducing plant life or animals, hurling asteroids at the surface, building cities, to mining the moons of Jupiter and establishing greenhouse gas industries to heat up the atmosphere. 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. Buying cards is costly, so there is a balance between buying cards (3 megacredits per card) and actually playing them (which can cost anything between 0 to 41 megacredits, depending on the project). Standard Projects are always available to complement your cards.

Your basic income, as well as your basic score, is based on your Terraform Rating (starting at 20), which increases every time you raise one of the three global parameters. However, your income is complemented with your production, and you also get VPs from many other sources.

Each player keeps track of 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 different Milestones and Awards worth many VPs. Each round is called a generation (guess why) and consists of the following phases:

1) Player order shifts clockwise.
2) Research phase: All players buy cards from four privately drawn.
3) 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 plant 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.
4) 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 goal, the terraforming is complete, and the game ends after that generation. Count your Terraform Rating and other VPs to determine the winning corporation!

Dit is echt mijn favoriete spel. Het is strategisch, informatief en speelt elke keer anders. Al is het alleenstaand erg goed, zijn de uitbreidingen een goede toevoeging op het basisspel.

In dit spel probeer je mars zo snel mogelijk leefbaar te maken, onderweg verzamel je allerhande grondstoffen en bouw je projecten uit. Afhankelijk van de 'corporatie' die je op het begin kiest, kan je verschillende kanten uit. Het is een heel strategisch spel met wel wat denkwerk, je bent makkelijk 2 uur bezig. Het is zowel met 2 spelers als meerderen leuk. Het zou van mij 5 sterren krijgen als de doos wat beter ingedeeld was en de spelerbordjes van iets betere kwaliteit waren.

In het begin een beetje zoeken op internet voor het juist te spelen, maar is nu ons favoriete spel.

Tof spel met veel variatie ... begin is het wat zoeken en tasten maar na een tijdje speelt zich het heel vlot .

Produkt in de pre-order besteld, snel geleverd en prima verpakt. Prijs goedkoop, zonder mindere kwaliteit. Helaas ontbraken de gele stenen voor 1 speler, maar dit is via Spelhuis snel en goed rechtgezet, binnen een paar dagen bezorgd door de fabrikant op mijn huisadres. Leuk kaartje mer persoonlijke boodschap, erg leuk, ga ik overnemen voor mijn webshop.
Spel zelf is trouwens erg goed en leuk om te spelen, maar daar is voldoende over te vinden op internet.

Ondertussen een aantal keer gespeeld en dit is een geweldig spel, is leuk met zowel 2 als meer spelers. Heel veel variatie door de vele kaarten. Je bent snel 2 uur bezig, maar de tijd vliegt voorbij.
