Terraforming Mars - Ares Expedition: Crisis
English
Description
Terraforming Mars Ares Expedition Crises introduces a completely new game mode that transforms the well known mechanics of Ares Expedition into a tense cooperative challenge. This time you do not arrive on a barren world but on a fully terraformed Mars that has been devastated by a catastrophic asteroid impact. Infrastructure lies ruined, global parameters fall rapidly, and time is slipping away. Billions depend on the planet’s survival — failure is not an option.
In Crises mode, temperature, oxygen, and oceans decline with each passing round. Ice spreads, the atmosphere thins, and the world edges toward collapse. Your task is to act quickly, complete critical projects, and push back against escalating crises. Every turn presents new problems, forcing your team to communicate efficiently, allocate resources wisely, and coordinate your phase choices with precision. Mars needs more than terraformers now — it needs rescuers.
Whether solo or with up to three friends, Crises transforms Ares Expedition into a gripping cooperative experience filled with urgency, teamwork, and dramatic turning points. The game ends only when you stabilize the planet or fail to stop its fall into uninhabitability. Humanity’s future hangs in the balance.
This is an expansion — the base game Terraforming Mars Ares Expedition is required to play.
