Welcome to Mars

In Terraforming Mars, each player runs a corporation that buys and plays project cards to make Mars habitable. The winner has the most victory points (VPs) at the end of the game.

We play with 2: Red and Blue, both controlled by you, with the Beginner Corporations the rulebook recommends to new players.

The cards used are real cards from the game, shown in the rulebook; how they are drawn is an example.
