Latest Updates from Our Project:

10,366 Martains Ready to Roll! THANK YOU!
over 1 year ago – Sat, Oct 15, 2022 at 12:17:26 AM

Thank you, Martians! Thanks to your support, we will terraform Mars into a beautiful, habitable world. We are especially grateful to those community members who have been with us along the journey, answering questions for other backers, making suggestions, and hanging out in the comments with us. You helped make this project even better! 

The campaign is over, but our work is not done! We will be working on getting the pledge manager ready for you and also the files ready for the printer to start. 

So, what happens next?

Your credit card should be charged, but if there is an issue, please work with Kickstarter to get that resolved.  Unfortunately, we cannot assist there since we have no direct access to the payment processing.  If your card declines for any reason, work with Kickstarter to resolve this ASAP!

Assuming your card works (and it does for almost everyone), you all get to relax now. Keep an eye out for the backer survey email, which will come to you in about two-three weeks. (Late Oct/Early Nov) That's a critical step in completing your pledge. When you get the backer survey from BackerKit - please complete it as soon as possible!

You can upgrade or add to your pledge in the pledge manager once you get your access link.

If you see a late backer button on the campaign page, do not use that if you backed on Kickstarter, or you will have two pledges. We will lock down changes 30-45 days after the pledge manager opens. We need to get numbers for each region as soon as possible and start the long process of getting rewards to regional distribution centers and then on to you!

Project Updates and Comments
Though the campaign is done, we still have a lot of very important updates to come. So please stay tuned and check in on this project regularly. We will post regular updates, keeping you all informed - and involved - in the process. We will still be reading comments and checking our messages. So if you have any questions, please ask. We will do our best to get back to you promptly. And, of course, you can always email us at [email protected]

That's it for now, but we will be back toward the end of the month with our next update and what to expect when you receive your invite to the pledge manager.

Hello Martians! 

We are nearing the end of this exciting campaign and can't thank you all enough for your support! The team had a nice time at SPIEL, and it was great to hear from those of you who could check out the game in person, like @Leuler...

Thanks, Leuler! 

We have two more milestones to unlock after today. Let's check out the last four new milestones that have been unlocked since the last update...

DAY 12: New Corporation

Your hand size is increased by 2!

DAY 13: New Project

When playing the Immigrant City card, place a city tile, and if it's adjacent to any brown tile gain a wild resource token!

DAY 14: New Project

When playing the Physics Complex card, For your main action, pay 2 energy to gain 4 immediate victory points!

DAY 15: New Corporation

When you play a card that would give you victory points at the end of the game, you may gain any yellow resource!

That's all for now! We'll be back with the next update on Wednesday to cover the final Milestone before the campaign ends.  We will see you in the comments in the meantime!

New Milestones Unlocked!

DAY 10 UNLOCKED: 


The Hive City card allows you to place a city when this card is played. With the city tile scoring you victory points for placing a city and scoring 1 VP for each adjacent greenery being so strong you will lose 1 VP during end game scoring.

DAY 11 UNLOCKED: 

As a free action, once this blue card is played, rotate one of your resource dice to another resource of your choice!

GAME BOARD SURPRISE UPDATE!!
over 1 year ago – Fri, Oct 07, 2022 at 12:00:36 AM

Normally our updates follow a strict schedule but we just couldn't wait until tomorrow to announce what's been officially approved and set into motion. Let's go!


BACKER REQUEST UNLOCKED: Double-Sided Game Board!

The double-sided game board will feature the Hellas map as well! :)

We thought this idea was great so we put it into motion. Now we have the art so we can share that your game board is now a double-sided game board! All backers will receive this free upgrade; no need to change anything to your pledge.


The announcement of the double-sided game board also allowed us to dive into another request, an add-on...


ANNOUNCING: NEOPRENE PLAY MATS!

This additional purchase will include two game mats, one for each side of the gameboard! It's important to note that these will not replace the game boards in the dice game, so if you were to purchase this add-on, you would receive both double-sided game boards, and these beautiful neoprene mats! 

What's more, the neoprene mats allowed us to adjust the size to accommodate the 3D tiles from Terraforming Mars: Big Box & Small Box!  


You can add these on now by adjusting your pledge and selecting from the available add-ons or you can wait for the pledge manager and add them there. 


To adjust your pledge, here is a video to show you how:

We'll see you tomorrow for our normally scheduled update.
