TERRAFORMING MARS UTOPIA & CIMMERIA (EXPANSION)

Take your adventure to the lava plains of the North or the highlands of the South! Each map depicts a new region of Mars, with new placement bonuses, ocean areas, and new sets of milestones and awards.


- UTOPIA PLANITIA -


Utopia is a lava plain located northwest of Elysium and belongs to the northern lowlands – it’s also the largest recognized impact crater in the entire Solar System! Mineral-rich lava can be made into fertile soil, motivating the plentiful plant bonuses away from the equator. To the south it borders on the Great Escarpment along the edge of the southern highlands. The thin crust closer to the North Pole could be a suitable spot for geothermal energy plants. Gain 2 extra cards for settling the prestigeous Viking 2 or Beagle 2 landing sites! The Utopia map lacks volcanos and the Noctis region, so the tiles from the cards Noctis City and cards that place tiles on volcanic areas (for example Lava Flows) lose their placement restrictions and may be placed on any nonreserved area.


Milestones:


MANAGER – 3 special tiles in play.
PIONEER – 3 colonies in play.
TRADER – 3 different types of resources on cards (e.g. different kinds of microbes only count as 1 type of resource).
METALLURGIST – 6 steel production and titanium production combined.
RESEARCHER – 4 science tags.
Awards:


Suburbian – most tiles along the border of the map.
Investor – most Earth tags.
Botanist – highest plant production.
Incorporator – most cards played with a cost of 10 M€ or less.
Metropolist – most city tiles.
- TERRA CIMMERIA -


Terra Cimmeria is a densly cratered highland region on Mars’ southern hemisphere, half way to the south pole, east of the Hellas basin. This is the best place on the planet for finding steel and titanium! The whole region shows signs of shorelines and water erosion from liquid water formerly flowing abundantly through the southern highlands. However, the lowlands suitable for oceans in the present day are located along the edges of this region. Placing a tile where the Curiosity rover explored the area around the Gale crater places a colony for 5 M€ (ignore if not playing with Colonies). The Cimmeria 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: Albor Tholus, Tyrrhenus Mons, Hadriacus Mons, and Apollinaris Mons.


Milestones:


PLANETOLOGIST – 2 Earth tags, 2 Venus tags, 2 Jovian tags.
ARCHITECT – 3 city tags.
COASTGUARD – 3 tiles adjacent to ocean.
FORESTER – 3 plant production.
FUNDRAISER – 12 M€ production.
Awards:


Electrician – most power tags.
Founder – most tiles adjacent to special tiles.
Mogul – highest total production of all resources except M€.
Zoologist – most animal and microbe resources.
Forecaster – most played cards with requirements.

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

RETURN TO DARK TOWER

For an age, the tower lay in ruins. Unbeknownst to the people of the realm, a great evil stirred in its bowels. It started with strange sightings: a flock of crows flying in circles until they dropped from the sky, the lake frozen solid in the height of summer. In time, they could not deny that which they most feared. The evil had not been vanquished. The darkness would soon fall again. The tower will rise. A "sequel" to the 1981 grail game, Return to Dark Tower is a game for 1-4 players who take the role of heroes. Together, they gather resources, cleanse buildings, defeat monsters, and undertake quests to build up their strength and discern what foe ultimately awaits them. When the heroes face the tower, the game shifts into its dramatic second act, where the players have one chance to defeat the enemy once and for all. The game features both cooperative and competitive modes of play. The game features traditional game mechanisms, such as engine building and resource management, paired with a technological interface unlike any seen before in games, including the titular tower, which holds more than a few secrets.Players: 1-4 Ages: 10+ Playing Time: 100-120 minsAwards & Honors2023 American Tabletop Strategy Games Recommended2022 Meeples Choice Award Nominee2022 Golden Geek Most Innovative Board Game Nominee2022 Golden Geek Best Thematic Board Game Nominee2022 Golden Geek Best Cooperative Game Winner2022 Golden Geek Best Cooperative Game Nominee2022 Golden Geek Best Board Game Artwork & Presentation Nominee2022 Dragon Awards Best Science Fiction or Fantasy Board Game Nominee2022 Board Game Quest Awards Game of the Year Nominee2022 Board Game Quest Awards Best Thematic Game Winner2022 Board Game Quest Awards Best Thematic Game Nominee2022 Board Game Quest Awards Best Reprint/Reimplementation Winner2022 Board Game Quest Awards Best Reprint/Reimplementation Nominee2022 Board Game Quest Awards Best Production Values Nominee

A TOUCH OF EVIL: DARK GOTHIC

A Touch of Evil: Dark Gothic is a deck-building game set in Flying Frog's A Touch of Evil game series.  Each player represents a particular monster-hunting hero in the game, and that hero determines the player's starting deck and grants a special ability. The heroes work together to some degree to defeat villains and monsters as they collectively lose the game if ten cards land in the shadows during play. That said, the game has only a single winner - the player who has the most investigation points at the end of the game. (Villains come in three levels of difficulty, and at the start of the game, you create a villain stack with one card of each difficulty level being chosen at random.)  The game uses three currencies - combat (red), cunning (green) and spirit (blue) - with some cards having a silver cost that can be paid with any currency. Players can acquire cards from a row of six that are available from the main deck or from piles of cards that are always available. If you fight the "Hungry Dead" - an always available card that costs one of each color - you can remove a card from your deck or from the central row.  "Dark Secrets" are a special type of card that get added to your deck through various means. The card is worth negative points at the end of the game, but should you draw it during play, you remove it from the game, then draw a "Shocking Discovery" - which will affect you or all players with some kind of pernicious effect.
