Terraforming Mars: Prelude comes as an expansion to the massively popular and successful game Terraforming Mars (Stronghold Games). In Terraforming Mars: Prelude, players can now start to make choices much earlier than before, choices that will ultimately define their corporation and will affect the outcome of their terraforming progress! This really is the prelude to your greatest terraforming endeavours! This small expansion focuses on the early stages of the colonisation of Mars, telling the story of the corporations and giving players the background of these massive companies. The expansion is simple to implement into the game. Players, when selecting a corporation, also draw four prelude cards. On these cards are various effects that boost the corporation that the player selects. You will then choose two of these prelude cards to boost your corporation. This expansions opens up a massive range of possibilities, allowing players to open up with a fantastic boost combination, giving them an advantage early game, while also allowing players to become more asymmetrical. It also adds five new corporations for players to use along with seven project cards that add to the theme of the early stages of your quest to terraform the red planet! Player Count: 1-5 Time: 90-120 Minutes Age: 12+

Would not play without this expansion ever again

Adds a simple extra additional step to the beginning of the game that will get some of your production going at the beginning of the game. £18 for a deck of cards at the end of the day, so one star off just because of that.

An absolute must have for any fans of terraforming mars. Gives the game a real kick at the start and reduces the game length by about 20 minutes. All players are dealt prelude cards rom which they pick two. These then increase your productions, or increase your terraforming rating or even allow you to put down oceans or forests at the start. I would never play without this expansion. Brilliant

If there is one expansion needed for Terraforming Mars then this is it. It really speeds up the start of the game buy giving you started resources or powers so you can get to the meat of the game quicker. I never play without it now.
