Hellas & Elysium: Terraforming Mars Exp Reviews

4.6 Rating 11 Reviews
Read Zatu Games Reviews

Terraforming Mars: Hellas & Elysium, the first expansion for Terraforming Mars, consists of a double-sided game board presenting two new areas of Mars: - Elysium takes players almost to the opposite side of Mars' equator, with vast lowlands for oceans in the north and a dry, mineral-rich south. Place a tile on Olympus Mons, the highest peak in the solar system, to gain three free cards! - Hellas, the southern wild, includes Mars' south pole and the enormous seven-hex Hellas crater that just begs to become a giant lake. Building around the pole gives you new placement bonuses in the form of heat and possibly even water. Each of these maps consists of new sets of milestones and awards with relevance for that particular map. Place three tiles around the south pole to be a Polar Explorer, for example, or race to have the most estates beside water on Elysium!

Adds variety to base game

It's literally just a board. But it is two-sided. A bit overpriced if I'm honest but good quality nonetheless. Gives you two different maps to play the game on, with new tactics required. It doesn't really change the basic gameplay but adds another dimension to the Terraforming Mars experience.

It’s really good, the board adds a lot more dynamic elements to the game when you’re so used to the first set of awards and milestones.

Nice to have additional boards to spruce up the game. Just wish for the price some additional cards came with it, or a more sturdy instruction leaflet.

This is a nice expansion that gives two other sides of mars to play on. It also brings different scoring objectives and goals. It is a great addition to your collection if you have, like me, played terraforming mars 100s of times already. A bit on the pricey side but still worth it for die hard fans of TM.

I was hesitated to order just a board without a box due to protection concerns. However, it turned out great. There is only a slight deformation at the corners of the board. Board was in great shape general. I was happy with my order. Nice packaging for oversea shipment.
