Review: Tenía mis dudas sobre el, porque no soy muy fan de la temática espacial y futurista en juegos de mesa, pero este si me gustó mucho y su versión solitaria funciona muy bien y es divertido. Me encantó. Review: Love this game! Easy to play, clear and descriptive instructions, excellent quality of materials. A great game, playable by two people and which takes many of the same concepts from Terraforming Mars (full edition) and tweaks them a bit to make for an interesting, enjoyable - and shorter - game. Highly recommended. Suggest getting the expansion pack "Terraforming Mars Ares Expedition: Discovery", for even more interesting competition. ## Features - Terraforming Mars: Ares Expedition is an engine-building game in which players control interplanetary corporations with the goal of making Mars habitable (and profitable) - A new, stand-alone game inspired by Terraforming Mars featuring faster gameplay and over 200 beautifully illustrated cards! - A faster version of the original with an optional co-op mode ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08QY2YYNH | | Age Range Description | 14+ | | Are Batteries Required | No | | Best Sellers Rank | #28,626 in Toys ( See Top 100 in Toys ) #828 in Board Games | | Brand Name | Stronghold Games | | CPSIA Cautionary Statement | No Warning Applicable | | Color | Black | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (716) | | Edition | Collector's Edition | | Educational Objective | Develop strategic planning, resource management, and decision-making skills while learning about the process of terraforming Mars | | Estimated Playing Time | 60 Minutes | | Genre | Science Fiction | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00810017900206 | | Included Components | 1 game board 208 project cards 9 ocean tiles 4 player boards 12 corporation cards 24 forest VP tokens 148 resource cubes 20 phase cards 52 player cubes 2 clear cubes 5 phase tracking tokens | | Is Assembly Required | No | | Item Dimensions | 8.9 x 20.1 x 24.9 centimeters | | Item Type Name | Board Game | | Item Weight | 3 Pounds | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Stronghold Games | | Manufacturer Maximum Age (MONTHS) | 1188.0 | | Manufacturer Minimum Age (MONTHS) | 168.0 | | Manufacturer Part Number | TMCG1SG | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | No Warranty | | Material Type | Cardboard | | Minimum Age Recomendation | 14 | | Model Number | SGTMCG1 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Players | 4 | | Operation Mode | manual | | Set Name | Collector's Edition | | Size | 2.
