Description

In Mission: Red Planet, 3 to 5 players take on the role of mining companies competing to colonize and mine Mars for newly discovered resources. The game is set in a steampunk universe where astronauts are sent to the red planet to gather Celerium, Sylvanite, and Ice. Players use special agents to fill rockets with their astronauts and prevent opponents from doing the same, all while navigating the challenges of space exploration. Over 60 minutes, players strategically place their astronauts to control regions of the planet, earning score tokens for majority control. The game features a unique blend of mechanics, including area majority, hand management, and simultaneous action selection, making for a thrilling experience. With easy-to-learn rules and a moderate level of in-game text, Mission: Red Planet is an accessible and engaging game for fans of science fiction and space exploration.
