Plus five Global Events:

Titan-Venus Alliance, Cloud Societies

Some of the above cards can cause misunderstandings and have various rules queries that come up. So regards:

Project Inspection. This allows you to make a motivating visit to one of YOUR projects. It works exactly like the Viron Corporation card's ability, from the Venus Next expansion. This means that the player can only use one of their own blue card actions. This will be a blue card with a large red arrow on it, as other blue cards affect something that is going to occur (in response to it), such as Titanium worth an extra amount or cards costing less to buy. Remember that the player has to have already used that specific action in this generation, not just the card. Some cards have a choice of different actions, and only one can be repeated, and only then if it has already been carried out. So, adding floaters or microbes to a card is a separate action from actually spending them. You could play the card immediately after having carried out the action to keep track of what you did, although tactically it might not always be the best move to do so, as the game developes throughout that generation.

Stanford Torus. This city is separate from all other tiles (either in space or on the planet) so can have no adjacencies or any bonuses or game benefit due to them.

Terraforming Mars really is a great game that is very cleverly designed, it plays well and retains interest. Players will need strategy, tactics and logic to win. It is a resources card game, but tiles are also used and player boards are there to keep track of the changing in game resources. The playing time is said to be 120 minutes, but I would say that was average to minimal time needed to play, as I've played two player games that took near 6 hours to finish. A better understanding of the rules lowers this, plus I'd feel that more players would reduce the time involved overall, as many actions reduce game length. it all depends on the cards that are drawn, and how the players play, as different tactics can pay dividends. Each player is in control of a competing corporation that is trying to tame the red planet. They each race to obtain awards and reach milestones before the other players.

This game is ranked number 4 in the BoardGameGeek top games of all time rankings. To put that into perspective, that list has 17063 different games in it, so to come number 4 really is an achievement.

• Terraforming Mars is a board game for 1 to 5 players and was designed by Jacob Fryxelius. It was initially published by FryxGames in 2016, and later by 12 others, including Stronghold Games. It is an economic, environmental, industry / manufacturing, Science Fiction, Space Exploration, Territory Building game. 
• The Terraforming Mars game is set in the science fiction future of the 2400's. Players in Terraforming Mars take on the role of giant competing corporations. They have been sponsored by the World Government on Earth to terraform the Red planet by raising the temperature and creating oxygen, water, plant and animal life, for habitation. Mars is represented by a board made up of 61 contiguous hexes (there are two others out in spac, Phobos and Ganymede) onto which can be placed oceans, plants, cities, and other features. Players compete with each other to earn the most victory points (VP's). These are counted up at the end of the game to dictate the winner and add up on various factors in the game by player contribution to the terraforming process, as well as building human infrastructure on the Red planet.
• In the game players collect income and resources which allow them to buy to their hand and play different project cards. These cards can represent various technologies, amongst others, infrastructure built, scientific accomplishments or localised events. So anything from introducing plant life or animals, hurling asteroids at the surface, building cities, to mining the moons of Jupiter and establishing greenhouse gas industries to heat up the atmosphere. The cards can give you immediate bonuses, as well as increasing your production of different resources. Many cards also have requirements and they become playable when the temperature, oxygen, or ocean coverage increases enough. Buying cards is costly, so there is a balance between buying cards (3 megacredits per card) and actually playing them (which can cost anything between 0 to 41 megacredits, depending on the project). Standard Projects are always available to complement your cards. The cards played can then increase the players income, resources or directly contribute to terraforming the Red planet. Your basic income, as well as your basic score, is based on your Terraform Rating (starting at 20), which increases every time you raise one of the three global parameters. However, your income is complemented with your production, and you also get VPs from many other sources.Capitalism at its best!
• Each player keeps track of their production and resources on their player boards, and the game uses six types of resources: MegaCredits, Steel, Titanium, Plants, Energy, and Heat. On the game board, you compete for the best places for your city tiles, ocean tiles, and greenery tiles. You also compete for different Milestones and Awards worth many VPs. The game automatically ends when three terraforming conditions have all been met: 
• 1, the atmosphere's oxygen level has been raised to 14%
• 2, the temperature has risen to 8 degrees Celsius 
• 3, nine ocean tiles have been placed.
• There have been five very good expansions released for this excellent game, Hellas and Elysium (2017), Venus Next (2017), Prelude (2018), Colonies (2018), and Turmoil (2019).
