Space-themed board game Terraforming Mars and its expansion sets are now on sale for Black Friday: Times Of Nation
Snag up a popular spacefaring game and five of its expansion boards now on sale and get savings as high as 33% this week ahead of Black Friday.
The objective of Terraforming Mars is written in the game’s name. One to five players can compete with one another to gain the most points towards raising the habitability of the Red Planet for future human visitors. Players gain points by raising Mars’ temperature, the planet’s oxygen level and by creating and expanding oceans.
The game features several card categories that allow the players some control about their play level of difficulty. Project cards stimulate the imagination by tasking players to do things like introduce plant life and build cities, and there are more than 200 different projects to complete.
The Terraforming Mars Board Game is now on sale at Amazon for $49.85, which is 29% off its usual retail price.
Terraforming Mars is an upgradable game, too. One of the unique characteristics of Terraforming Mars are its tiles, which players can place across the board illustration of the Red Planet. One available upgrade lets players add a higher visual element to their game.
Terraforming Mars: Big Box
Known as the Big Box, this upgrade comes with 90 special tiles to dress up the game, including a set of 3D terrain tiles. Big Box also serves as a storage solution for the main game and its expansions (which are also on sale this week).
