Terraforming Mars
Snatched defeat from the jaws of victory after misreading how the endgame would play out, but the new cube trays are awwwwesum.
This is my third play of TM and I’m finally feeling like I’ve got a bead on how to play well. Nice change of pace for me; I’m usually the dope who buys the games and is terrible at them.
Next go, we add the Corporate Era cards to the deck and an hour of play time.
Corporate Era doesn’t actually add that much play time.
I really enjoy this game. Nothing revolutionary, but very solidly done and let’s you learn some science along the way.
My absolute favorite bit of the game is that, because I’m kind of a Mars fanboy, it’s hilarious to see literally every crazy idea ever brought up about terraforming the planet brought up side-by-side. Superconducting wires around the equator to build up a magnetosphere + crash Deimos into the surface, why not? Hold my beer, NASA.
Where are the cube trays from?
Gametrayz.com maybe?
