A deep, economic engine-building game where players control giant corporations competing to render Mars habitable. By playing project cards, players raise global parameters—temperature, oxygen levels, and ocean coverage—while building infrastructure, green areas, and cities across the Martian surface. The game features hundreds of unique project cards that reward long-term combo building and resource management. In Terraforming Mars, every corporation has a distinct starting power and economic focus. As you invest in project cards, your production of megacredits, steel, titanium, plants, energy, and heat grows. Raising global parameters increases your Terraform Rating, which acts as both your regular income generator and victory point score. Plays 1 to 5 players in 120 to 150 minutes. Loved by strategy gamers around the world, it offers unmatched card synergy and strategic depth that keeps players coming back to try new corporate engines.

Most board games quietly fall apart above 4 players. Turns drag, half the table checks out, and someone ends up on their phone. These are the ones that actually hold up at 6, 7, and 8 — games where more people means more energy, not more waiting.
Your group has played Codenames enough. These are games where decisions matter, bluffs have consequences, and paying attention is rewarded. Heavier and more demanding than party games, and more satisfying because of it.
