Description

The moment of terraforming Mars has finally arrived, and it's time to equip your spaceship with the necessary resources to complete the mission. You'll need to gather crew, water, food, energy, and oxygen, but be warned, space is limited and every millimeter counts. In Mars Operation, you'll take on the role of an engineer tasked with organizing these essential resources in a race against time. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, this game is easy to pick up and play, making it accessible to a wide range of players, from 1 to 6. The game begins with a roll of the five colored dice, which are then placed on the corresponding resource cards. The numbers on the dice indicate how many items are required for each resource, and it's up to you to equip your ship with the exact amount. You'll need to turn, flip, and cover your six cards to get the right combination of elements, all while trying to be the fastest engineer at the table. The first player to succeed wins a Mars token, worth 10 points, while the rest of the players can still earn a star, worth 5 points, if they manage to fulfill the requirements of at least three dice. With a playtime of just 10 to 15 minutes, Mars Operation is a quick and thrilling game that's perfect for a fun, casual gaming session. Designed by An-Ping Liu and published in 2020, this game combines elements of card games, dice, puzzles, and real-time space exploration to create a unique and engaging experience. As you compete to earn the most points over the course of four missions to Mars, you'll need to stay focused and think strategically to come out on top. Will you be the fastest engineer to terraform Mars and claim victory? There's only one way to find out – start playing Mars Operation today.
