How It Plays

Follow

When one player takes an action, others can follow along with a weaker version — piggyback on good moves!

Hand Management

You have a hand of cards and deciding which to play, save, or discard is the core puzzle.

Income

You earn resources automatically each round based on what you've built up — the snowball effect is real.

Simultaneous Action Selection

Everyone chooses their action at the same time and reveals together — no waiting around, and plenty of surprises.

Variable Player Powers

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

About This Game

Terraforming Mars Ares Expedition: Discovery adds four new mechanics to base Ares Expedition: awards, milestones, upgraded phase cards, and wild tags. Awards are end-of-game scoring that are granted to the player with the most of something. Three awards are drawn at the beginning of the game so that players know what they will be rewarded for at the end of the game.…
