Tabletop Game Rating

The Colonies expansion to Terraforming Mars is an interesting addition to the game. It adds new cards that deals with a new mechanic called colonies. Colonies are represented by randomly selected tiles of small moons/planetoids (Sorry Pluto) that give bonuses such as cards, or resources when a trade fleet is sent out to trade with them. Each player starts with one trade fleet ( possible to get more later) that can be sent out for credits, energy, or titanium. This flexibility in choices allow for multiple engine types to be able to use colonies. A player also has an option to colonize one of these colonies, which gets them an initial colony bonus and an additional one anytime anyone trades with it.

This expansion adds a little extra bloat to the game, but it enable interesting options to help improve your engine or get that little extra push. There are some additional floater cards as well to help support the theme from Venus, and some other cards that make for additonal VPs. I do enjoy this expansion, even if it adds an extra bit of time to the game.

Amazing Gateway Game, Easy to Learn, Beautiful, Fun Theme, light strategy.

Although this game can have frustrating moments, it's a really fun light game for kids. the light choices of going around the outside for more treasure, or the inside for more speed, and the idea of rolling the dice first and then choosing how to use them based entirely on the cards you have in hand, provides a touch of strategy, but not enough for A.P.

For heavier gamers who like complexity, this is way too light. But the art is gorgeous and fun.
