Welcome to Mars

In Terraforming Mars, each player runs a corporation that buys and plays project cards to make Mars habitable. The most victory points (VPs) wins.

We replay the rulebook example with 3: Kim (PhoboLog), Stanley (ThorGate) and Robinson (Tharsis Republic). You control all three. They are experienced: they choose their corporation and buy their starting cards.

The cards played are real cards from the rulebook; the rest of the hands is an example.
