Your tableau of cards will grow as you inflict your will on Mars, from nurturing a bit of humble algae to redirecting a comet for a helpful collision. Brock, why don’t you introduce us to Terraforming Mars? And if you say, “You’re terraforming Mars,” I’m going to poop.īrock: Get ready to change your drawers, Dan, because you’re going to terraform the pants off of the red planet.īrock: Each player controls a sprawling corporation, sparing no expense or dirty trick to bring heat, oxygen, and water to our red neighbor. Maybe that has to do with the fact that it’s sort of… well, defiantly douchey, to put it delicately.
Terraforming Mars lands itself right in the middle of that zeitgeist, but I’m inclined to view it more favorably than as a mere hanger-on. Then board games will go back to be about, I dunno, trading in the Mediterranean or something. Can’t get enough of it, until we all awake in the small hangover weeks of 2019 and realize that we’ve had it up to here with Mars.
You could say it’s the new pirates or zombies. It’s on everybody’s mind in this board gaming hobby of ours.
