![]() There are three types of cards in the main deck: red, green and blue. It’s risky though, as an opponent may decide to aim to beat you to the award, meaning that you’ve spent money to give them 5 points. As an example, if you think you’ll have the highest MegaCredit production at the end of the game, you’ll use an action to buy that award, and state one of your intents for the end of the game. Awards are something which you pay for during the game, and will score at the end. Be careful though, if you wait too long to do this, someone else may achieve it and pay for it, and it’s first-come-first-served. A milestone is something you have already achieved, and you use an action to buy it. At the bottom of the board, there is a ‘Milestones’ section and an ‘Awards’ section. To the left of Mars there is a ‘Standard Projects’ section, where you can sell cards from your hand you don’t want, or pay money to do various things, from raising the temperature of the planet, to placing out a city tile (and increasing your MegaCredit production by one). You can also see some symbols on some hexes, which means that when you place a tile there, you receive whatever is indicated (I’ll get into the symbols later).Īs I mentioned, you’re going to be predominantly playing cards on your turns, but there are a few more actions available. The blue hexes on the board are reserved for river tiles (though some cards can break this rule), and rivers can only go on blue hexes (again, a few cards can break this), so again, you need to choose where to place your tiles wisely. There are only 9 available for the game, so it’s important to try to get them out as quickly as possible. This adds a small, but interesting, bit of interaction between you and your fellow players on the board itself. Cities are only worth points if they are adjacent to forests (1 point per adjacent forest), so place them too early and you risk the other players steering clear of that area, but wait too long and there may not be many space available for you to place them. ![]() Forests increase the oxygen on Mars, moving you towards the end game, but they’re also worth one point each. For thematic presentations of certain cards, see our news archive.Mars is split into various hexes, and on these you’ll be placing forest tiles, city tiles and the aforementioned river tiles.For more information on the digital version, visit Steam.For more information, pictures, discussion forums, reviews and ratings, see the BoardGameGeek page.Will your corporation lead the way into humanity’s new era?
