Description
In Mars 04:45, you're a Mission Director on a quest to establish the first colony on Mars, and you're not alone in the race. With two to eight players competing simultaneously, the game is a thrilling real-time experience where every second counts. The rules are easy to learn, but don't let that fool you - the game requires strategic thinking and quick reflexes. As you compete to construct the necessary modules for your Mars settlement, you'll need to source parts internally to maximize your profitability and outmaneuver your opponents. The game is all about set collection and simultaneous action selection, making it a unique and engaging experience. Players can start new modules or add to existing ones, and all modules are public, meaning anyone can jump in and try to sabotage their opponents' plans. With a playtime of just 15 to 30 minutes, Mars 04:45 is the perfect game for a quick gaming session, and its real-time gameplay ensures that every round is exciting and unpredictable. Published in 2015 by designers Chris Renshall and Aidan Short, Mars 04:45 is a must-play for fans of space exploration and competitive gameplay.
