■ Product Introduction

[About the basic game "On Mars"]

On Mars is a strategy game for 1-4 players in which you take on the role of the lead astronaut of a Mars development company and attempt to complete a mission set by the United Nations.
Players will travel between orbit and the surface of Mars, utilizing special actions that can only be performed in each location to contribute to the development of the Mars colony.

[Game flow and the appeal of the expansion set]

The two-phase strategic game consists of a colonization phase and a shuttle phase.
The actions available to players vary depending on which side of the board they are on.

• Actions while in orbit : Acquire blueprints, purchase and develop technologies, obtain supplies from warehouses, construct buildings with bots, upgrade buildings with blueprints, acquire scientists and new contracts, and receive new spaceships.
• Actions when on the surface of Mars : You can explore the planet's surface with a rover.
