Publisher's description:

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 establish 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 until all players pass.
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!

International shipping

If you choose a delivery address into a country other than Finland, the system will automatically add the cost of international shipping to the order. 

If you order goods to outside the European Union, the local VAT is automatically deducted from the order value, but you may be subject to import duties and/or taxes upon the arrival of your shipment. Lautapelit.fi is not responsible for any of these charges. 

If you order goods to addresses within the European Union, our local VAT is included in the prices shown.

For international shipment we offer Posti and DHL worldwide; and GLS for Europe. Postal service is in most cases the cheaper option (especially for non-EU orders), but it's unfortunately slower and poorly trackable.

DHL is the more reliable one out of the options, fully trackable, pricier (especially to outside of EU), but recommended by us.

DHL Express On Demand Delivery (ODD)

With DHL On Demand Delivery (ODD), you can choose when and where you receive your order. After your order has been completed, you'll get an email/SMS from DHL. Click the smart link on the message to access and use ODD.

With DHL ODD you are able to choose from several delivery options to best accomodate your needs. However, you should note that using ODD can lead to a longer lead time or that some delivery options might not be available depending on what is being shipped. You can read more about this on DHL website: DHL Express ODD
