Excellent Addition
This is a real monster of an addition to the base game. It adds a political element and global events. Because of the additional focus and by making the terraforming more cutthroat and competitive it does add to the play time (for example at the beginning of each turn your TR rating drops by 1!). In addition there are new project cards and Corporations.
What’s really great is that although this adds complexity and time, once you’ve played a few rounds it’s easy to understand and does not unbalance the main game.
The political element is great as players vie for influence and control of various parties and the parliament. Different parties have different benefits e.g. the Greens benefit you when the come to power if you have already placed greenery tiles and whilst they are in power benefit you if you place more. But a new party comes to power every turn so you need to stay on your toes.
The Global Events can be positive or negative. If you get caught out without the appropriate influence they can be very damaging, but you get to see what’s coming two turns ahead - so plan ahead!
A great addition to one of the best games
