Terraforming Mars: Colonies

2018 · Expansion for Base-game

Terraforming Mars: Colonies

Players expand corporate operations beyond Mars by building colonies on nearby planets, moons and gas giants’ atmospheres. Gameplay adds colony tiles, a trade fleet mechanic and new corporation and project cards that interact with those colonies. Players send ships to claim colony spots, gain income or resources from established colonies, and use colony-linked benefits to support terraforming efforts on Mars. The expansion integrates with the base game and other expansions, providing new strategic avenues for income generation, resource management and long-term planning across the solar system.

    Totally unnecessary. It's possible to play entire games without giving a damn about colonies. This is not how you integrate an expansion into a game.

    Me ha gustado mucho esta expansión, aporta mucho más que Venus Next. El componente de poder ir a recopilar recursos da un toque extra a la estrategia que puedes seguir, como por ejemplo, ir a recolectar animales para ganar muchos más puntos de victoria en una carta que tengas.
