■ Product Introduction

[Significant expansion of the number of players]

Up to six people can now play at the same time, up from the previous 1-4 player mode.
As more people share the dream of colonizing Mars, competition and cooperation between companies becomes more complex and interesting.
When playing with a large number of people, the unique characteristics of each company become even more apparent, and you can enjoy a tense game where various strategies intersect.

[Innovative infrastructure systems]

A feature of this expansion set is the addition of a new terraforming indicator, "Infrastructure."
This fourth milestone introduces a new development element: infrastructure development on Mars, greatly expanding players' strategic options.
The Infrastructure Track, provided as a supplemental game board, is placed on top of the player board for easy visual understanding.
Infrastructure improvements can be invested in a combination of heat and plants, or 15 Megacredits.
This investment not only improves your score, but also gives you the bonus of drawing one card, further expanding your strategic options.

20 new infrastructure-related project cards have been added, enabling infrastructure-focused strategies.
An improved Terraforming Rate (TR) score track gives a clear view of each player's progress, even in a six-player game.
