Ticket to Mars

Players represent competing mega-corporations arranging evacuation from a dying Earth as limited spaceships depart for Mars. Each turn, players play order cards to raise or lower positions and to move people between ships, managing timing as a shared countdown advances whenever cards are replenished. Ships launch when the countdown hits zero, and players score points for meeting secret objectives tied to who boards which vessel. The game combines hand-management and tactical timing with hidden goals as players balance maneuvering people and preserving actions before departure.
