• More replay value for groups who know Terraforming Mars and want each session to feel different.

Good to Know

• This is not a standalone board game.
• Requires the Terraforming Mars base game to play.
• This expansion adds a double-sided game board with two new maps: Utopia Planitia and Terra Cimmeria.
• Each side gives Terraforming Mars players a different Mars region to explore, with its own placement bonuses, ocean spaces, milestone races, and award competition.
• Utopia Planitia changes the feel with northern lowland lava plains, plant bonuses, and geothermal-style placement opportunities.
• Utopia Planitia has no volcanoes or Noctis region, so cards like Noctis City and volcanic tile cards lose those placement restrictions on this map.
• Terra Cimmeria pushes players into a cratered southern highland region rich in steel and titanium opportunities.
• Terra Cimmeria has no Noctis region, but it does include four volcanic areas: Albor Tholus, Tyrrhenus Mons, Hadriacus Mons, and Apollinaris Mons.
• Some map bonuses or milestones may reference other Terraforming Mars expansions, such as Colonies or Venus tags. Use those parts only when those modules are in play.
• Best for players already familiar with Terraforming Mars who want more board variety and new strategic goals.
