Terraforming Mars: Ares Expedition – Discovery · Foundations · Crisis

Cooperative Game

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

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.
