Terra Formars (2016)

About this game

In Terra Formars, based on the Terra Formars anime series, players take the role of the egotistical heroes sent to Mars to cleanse the humanoid cockroaches from the planet so that humans may settle the newly terraformed planet. The game uses a combination of unique dice and cards to create a nice balance of resource management and backstabbing your friends. The seven unique dice create the resources each round to buy cards to enhance your character and steal kills from your opponents. In the end, the player who killed the highest priority targets wins.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.8/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 14 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
