Look To The Solar System In Terraforming Mars: Colonies Expansion
September 4, 2018 by brennon
Stronghold Games and FryxGames are going beyond the bounds of Mars to explore more planets in the Solar System in Terraforming Mars: Colonies.
For those of you who don't know, Terraforming Mars is the hit game from this pairing which takes you out into space where you play as competing Corporations looking to be the ones that take the glory for terraforming the Red Planet.
I played it for the first time this week and it's a great blend of traditional Euro mechanics with a lovely scientific twist. It comes to something when a game gets endorsed by NASA! In Colonies you'll be heading into the beyond to visit Jupiter and more in search of the materials you need to sustain life.
Colonies allow you to not only expand upon the resources available to you but also chart new worlds and develop the reach of humanity. New Corporations, new cards to build on the games already monolithic collection, and more are included within the expansion to give you a lot of different options each time you sit down to play.
I only played the beginner game this week and I already felt like there was a lot of choice so this is going to be something for veterans who have really ploughed through one of the great games of the last few years.
Are you tempted to step beyond the bounds of Mars?

Sounds like this is worth a second look in to the workings.
I’ve played so much of this game including with the Venus expansion and already have this pre-ordered. TM would be in my top 10 games!
One of the best board games I ever played. TM comes with a high level of re-playability. I introduced it to several people, gamers and non-gamers alike, everybody liked it. Only, I hope the language versions will be out soon 🙁
