How It Plays

Cooperative Game

Everyone works together against the game itself — you win or lose as a team, so get ready to strategize together!

Dice Rolling

You roll dice to determine outcomes — there's always that thrilling moment of suspense before they land!

Legacy Game

Your choices permanently change the game for future sessions — what you do now matters next time you play!

Modular Board

The board is made of separate pieces arranged differently each game — no two setups are ever quite the same.

Scenario / Mission / Campaign Game

You play through linked missions or scenarios that build on each other — it's like an epic adventure in chapters.

Solo / Solitaire Game

You can play this one all by yourself — perfect for a quiet evening when you want a fun challenge on your own.

Storytelling

The game unfolds like a story, and players help shape the narrative — every session tells a unique tale.

Variable Player Powers

Each player has unique abilities that make their experience different — finding the best way to use yours is half the fun.

Worker Placement

You place your workers on action spaces to claim them before anyone else — it's a scramble for the best spots!

About This Game

Built on the core of the award-winning Robinson Crusoe: Adventures on the Cursed Island, First Martians: Adventures on the Red Planet pits players against the hostile Martian environment and a whole host of new adventures and challenges. The immersive experience is further enhanced with an integrated app that maintains the balance and challenge throughout. Players have the option of taking on the design as a series of separate games, in a custom campaign mode in which each successive game builds on the last.
