Terraforming Mars

FryxGames · Board Game · released 2016

Jacob Fryxelius's engine-builder where each player runs a corporation trying to thicken the Martian atmosphere — temperature, oxygen, ocean tiles. Three full evenings to learn, then years of replayability. Two-to-five engineers, 90-120 minutes. The Prelude expansion is the standard recommendation for veterans.

A short note on this entry —

I have always thought a good board game is one where two of the players can leave halfway through and the remaining two still want to keep playing. By that test, this is a good board game. Bertram opened the box at the bench last Tuesday, counted every meeple against the manifest twice, and shrink-wrapped it again because the original wrap was perfect.

If you would like the cabinet's full inspection report for this particular item, write to [email protected] with the serial number above. Iris keeps a copy of every bench-check sheet for six years.
