Bought this specifically for solo play & the small footprint. Disappointed with the production quality, the same can be said for the card & board game versions of T.M. but once you get past the initial unboxing letdown and spend the 10 minutes required to learn the game ( wonderfully simple rule set, just don't forget to move that turn marker!) You'll find a really good game. Only 3 plays so far but the straightforward choices & quick turns allow for some great forward planning. The dice seem really light to me but that could be in part due to the metal dice I use regularly in other games. Overall, as with all standard T.M. products I've bought, you feel a little bit cheated when comparing the price to the quality of components but the real value for money is in the gameplay and that's what really matters. This one will be in my solo rotation for a while yet.

Terraforming Mars: The Dice Game, is a card driven dice game where players use special dice to develop their corporations and terraform Mars into a new home for humanity. The dice represent resources that players spend to play cards and perform other actions. During the game you increase your production of dice, you terraform and place cities and greenery tiles on the board and gain various bonuses. Each turn, you either produce new dice (Production Turn) or perform actions (Action Turn).

Whenever you terraform Mars (raise oxygen or temperature, or place an ocean tile), you gain 2 Victory Points (VP). You can also gain VP for placing tiles and playing cards, as well as winning Awards and Milestones.

The game ends when 2 of the 3 global parameters have been completed (oxygen/temperature/ocean). The player with most VP wins the game.

1-4 PLAYERS | 45 MINS | AGES 10+
