TERRAFORMING MARS AMAZONIS & VASTITAS (EXPANSION)

Explore the ancient sea of Vastitas Borealis, or play the larger Amazonis map with longer global parameters! Each map depicts a new region of Mars, with new placement bonuses, ocean areas, and new sets of milestones and awards.


- AMAZONIS PLANITIA -


This map takes it’s name from the lava plains west of the mighty Olympus Mons. This area is highlighted by energy bonuses and is extremely flat and smooth compared to the mountains and craters covering much of Mars. This larger map features longer global parameters for a better 4-5 player experience. Or maybe you just want more space to settle and more terraforming for yourself. Here you also find wild resource bonuses that give you any standard resource. The delegate bonuses let you place delegates for free from the Reserve (ignore if not playing with Turmoil). Noctis City may be placed without its restriction, and volcanic areas are highlighted: Olympus Mons, Ascreaus Mons, Pavonis Mons, Arsia Mons and Hecates Tholus.
NOTE: Includes 2 additional ocean tiles, 13 cities/greeneries, 1 Standard Project tile, and 1 optional Venus board with a longer Venus track.


Milestones:


TERRAN – 5 Earth tags.
LANDSHAPER – 1 greenery tile, 1 special tile, and 1 city tile (do not need to be adjacent to each other).
MERCHANT – 3 of each standard resource.
SPONSOR – 3 cards in play costing 20 M€ or more.
LOBBYIST – all 7 delegates in play (no delegate in the Lobby or Reserve).
Awards:


Collector – most types of resources, both on player board and cards (e.g. different kinds of microbes only count as 1 type of resource).
Innovator – most played cards (event cards also count!).
Constructor – most colonies and city tiles.
Manufacturer – most steel and heat production combined.
Physicist – most science and space tags.
- VASTITAS BOREALIS -


Vastitas Borealis is a lowland covering a large part of Mars’ northern hemisphere. This was once a large ocean! The map centers around the North Pole, mostly consisting of water ice. On top of that, there is a layer of frozen carbon dioxide which is released when you place a tile there. This increases the temperature one step, but costs you 4 M€. The earliest landing sites on Mars, Viking 1 and Viking 2, let you place a delegate for free from the Reserve (ignore if not playing with Turmoil). The Vastitas map does not have the Noctis region, so Noctis City may be placed without its restriction. It does, however, have four volcanic areas where tiles like Lava Flows may be placed: Hecates Tholus, Elysium Mons, Alba Mons, and Uranius Tholus.


Milestones:


AGRONOMIST – 4 plant tags.
ENGINEER – 10 production of energy and heat combined.
SPACEFARER – 4 space tags.
GEOLOGIST – 3 tiles on, or adjacent to, volcanic areas (any tile covering a volcanic area could be marked with a gold cube until this milestone is claimed).
FARMER – 5 animal and microbe resources combined.
Awards:


Traveller – most Jovian and Earth tags.
Landscaper – most connected tiles (each player counts his/her largest group of tiles).
Highlander – most tiles not adjacent to ocean.
Promoter – most event cards played.
Blacksmith – highest production of steel and titanium combined.

RIVET WARS: EASTERN FRONT

Rivet Wars is a miniatures boardgame that springs forth from the warped imagination of Ted Terranova - set on a world that never quite left World War I but with crazy technology like walking tanks, diesel powered armor, unicycled vehicles and armor plated cavalry!    Don't let the cute visuals fool you, it's a world full of angst, war-torn camaraderie and dark humor.    Rivet Wars is at its heart a strategy game, with both players deploying units each round to counter the threats set forth by their opponent and stay one tactical step ahead.    Heavily influenced by Ted's experience working on RTS games like Rise of Nations, players gather resources (bunkers and capture points) and use these to deploy streams of new units!    There's an ebb and flow on the tactical landscape and you can stock up surprises for your opponent to be unleashed even as he thinks he's winning!   2 players Ages 12 to adult 30 minutes playing time

TOKAIDO: 10TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION

In Tokaido, each player is a traveler crossing the "East sea road", one of the most magnificent roads of Japan. While traveling, you will meet people, taste fine meals, collect beautiful items, discover great panoramas, and visit temples and wild places but at the end of the day, when everyone has arrived at the end of the road you'll have to be the most initiated traveler – which means that you'll have to be the one who discovered the most interesting and varied things. The potential action spaces in Tokaido are laid out on a linear track, with players advancing down this track to take actions. The player who is currently last on the track takes a turn by advancing forward on the track to their desired action and taking that action, so players must choose whether to advance slowly in order to get more turns, or to travel more rapidly to beat other players to their desired action spaces. The action spaces allow a variety of actions that will score in different, but roughly equal, ways. Some action spaces allow players to collect money, while others offer players a way to spend that money to acquire points. Other action spaces allow players to engage in various set collections that score points for assembling those sets. Some action spaces simply award players points for stopping on them, or give the player a randomly determined action from all of the other types. All of the actions in Tokaido are very simple, and combined with a unique graphic design, Tokaido offers players a peaceful zen mood in its play. 2-5 playersAges 8 to adult45 minutes playing time
