Terraforming Mars

Each player gets a player board with 6 resource tracks (M€, steel, titanium, plants, energy, heat). Shuffle the project cards and deal 10 to each player. Players buy up to 10 cards (3 M€ each). Place the board showing Mars with ocean, temperature, and oxygen tracks.

1. The game has generations (rounds). Each generation, players take turns doing 1-2 actions.
2. Actions include: play a card from your hand (pay its cost), use a standard project (e.g., greenery, city), claim a milestone, or fund an award.
3. Cards give resources, production, or special effects.
4. When you increase oxygen, temperature, or place an ocean, your Terraform Rating (TR) increases.
5. After all players pass, production phase: gain resources based on your production levels.

The game ends when oxygen (14%), temperature (+8°C), and all 9 oceans are completed. Add your TR to points from cards, greenery tiles, cities, and milestones/awards. The highest total wins.

Prelude expansion gives starting bonuses. Venus Next adds a Venus track.
