Mars (2009)

About this game

From the Tilsit website: Each player is appointed to lead an expedition that has set up a colony on Mars. You need to manage your best sources of raw materials, energy and settlers to build your military, scientific or economic interests and be the first to get the number of victory points set at the beginning of the game. However the Red Planet is an inhospitable place and any error in managing your resources may cost you in this race for development.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 2.4/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
