Terraforming Mars

Players take on the roles of corporations working to make the red planet habitable. You spend money to raise the temperature and create oceans. The card combinations you can pull off make every session feel quite different. It takes a few rounds to really understand the mechanics, but after that, it flows nicely. You will want to play it a few times to try different strategies. I usually bring this out when we have a group that wants something engaging but not overly complicated. The components are well made and hold up to frequent use. It is a reliable option for a game night when people are tired of the usual stuff. Make sure you have a decent sized table to set everything up properly.
