Description

In Pocket Mars, you're one of the architects tasked with setting up an infrastructure for the first colonists on Mars, marking a new chapter for mankind. This fast-paced card game is easy to learn, but don't let its short 15 to 30 minute playtime fool you - it's packed with strategic depth. With simple rules and cards that can be played in multiple ways, you'll need to carefully choose how and when to play your cards to place as many colonists as possible in your Mars settlement. As you play, you'll trigger actions on your cards based on where you play them from, adding a layer of strategy to the game. You can play cards straight from your hand or turn them into modules to add to your settlement's buildings, transporting colonists to Mars and potentially disrupting your opponents' plans. With each card offering multiple actions and buildings having unique properties, you'll have to make tough decisions to come out on top in this exciting adventure in space.
