Nice and worthwhile

Adds a nice new mechanic to the original game, well worth the purchase. Gives you a useful way to rid yourself of some excess resources, and also includes more corporation and project cards, which are always a welcome addition.

We now always play only with the Colonies expansion included, which has made the game even more enjoyable! The only downside is that it is yet another (albeit very brief) rule book to refer to.

Excellent addition

Colonies adds a set of straightforward but impactful new mechanics to the base game. The colonies add a way of offloading excess energy / titanium (a problem in the base game if one simply didn't draw space cards or energy-utilising cards) to gain other more useful resources. The worker placement aspect adds a delicious layer of tension, as you now have another thing you 'need' to do early in each round.

OVERVIEW

Our world has widened before us. Corporations expand their operations to all corners of the solar system in pursuit of minerals and resources. Most places are not suited for terraforming, but building colonies may greatly improve your income and your possibilities in achieving that higher goal — the terraforming of Mars. Send your trade fleet to distant moons! Colonize the clouds of Jupiter! And let your Earth assets propel you to success!

Terraforming Mars: Colonies, an expansion for Terraforming Mars that can be played with only the base game or with any combination of expansions, lets you visit the outer solar system. It features colony tiles where you can build colonies and send your trade fleet. It also includes new cards and corporations.
