Sep 26, 2020
This expansion is OK, but by no means essential. It also adds time and fiddliness to the game.

Jan 30, 2019
To most people, if you mention the name Edgar Rice Burroughs the first thing that they will think of, in all likelihood, is his creation of the character Tarzan. Alongside this, however, he also wrote the <i>Barsoom</i> series of books, of which this is the first (published in 1912).
Commonly regarded as classics of the Pulp Sci-Fi genre of books, and with the new Disney movie <i>John Carter of Mars</i> recently released (even if it is getting a panning from the critics), and finally with <i>The John Carter collection</i> (consisting of <i>A Princess of Mars</i>, <i>The Gods of Mars</i>, <i>The Warlord of Mars</i>, <i>Thuvia, Maid of Mars</i> and <i>The Chessmen of Mars</i>) available on Apple's ibooks stores for 99p, how could I resist picking them up?
Having now read the first book, it's easy to see the influence these particular novels had on later writings and popular culture. James Cameron is on record as stating this particular work as an influence on his movie <i>Avatar</i>, while it is also possible to trace elements of <i>Star Wars</i> (inspired by <i>Flash Gordon</i>, itself inspired by this) back to this work.
In short: this is pretty much a prime example of early pulp SF!

Two New Boards
Let's be clear about this expansion: it is just two new boards for Terraforming Mars. If you are expecting more, then you will be sorely disappointed.
The two new boards add the right amount of variety to Terraforming Mars. They do not over complicate the game, but change the strategy just enough to make it interesting.
The awards change too! The new awards are more fun than the original, and are better balanced.
If you have played a lot of Terraforming Mars, I would definitely get this expansion to further enhance your gameplay.
