About this product
Build your corporation, roll your resources, and race to make Mars liveable.

Product Description
Terraforming Mars: The Dice Game gives the famous Mars-building strategy game a faster, dice-powered twist.
Players lead competing corporations as they develop projects, produce resources, place cities and forests, raise oxygen, increase temperature, and fill Mars with oceans. The dice represent the resources you need, but clever timing matters just as much as lucky rolling.
Each turn, you choose between producing new dice resources or taking actions. Use those resources to play powerful cards, terraform the planet, claim milestones, compete for awards, and build a strong engine before the game ends.
It keeps the big Terraforming Mars feeling, but in a shorter, punchier format that is easier to get to the table.
Why you’ll love it
- Terraforming Mars in a faster format — big strategy feel in around 45 minutes.
- Dice-driven resource system — roll, manage, and spend custom dice to power your corporation.
- Card-based engine building — play projects that improve production, trigger effects, or score points.
- Multiple paths to victory — score through terraforming, cities, forests, cards, milestones, and awards.
- Solo mode included — great for one-player strategy sessions.
- Strong sci-fi table presence — Mars board, custom dice, project cards, and terraforming tiles create a satisfying space-building feel.
