Mission to Mars 2049 (2016)

Overview

Do you have a strategy for colonizing Mars faster than anyone else?

Mission to Mars 2049 is a strategic family board game in which players build colonies on Mars in a race to reach the planet’s North Pole. Acquire resources, go on missions, build bases, resource stations, laboratories and roads and finally the game-winning water extraction station on the Martian North Pole!

Mission to Mars 2049 is a light weight strategic family board game that keeps a dynamic game pace from the beginning till the very end. You start with a single base on the outside of the map and gradually build you colony larger one base at a time until you reach the North Pole of Mars and build a road through the polar ice cap. The player who builds the water extraction station on the center of the map first, wins the game. In order to do that you will need lots of resources (air, food and minerals) which you can acquire by building resource stations. Each time someone rolls that station on the game die, you get one card for each of the stations you have built for that resource.

To add extra strategies to the game, there are mission cards. Peaceful mission cards will allow you to play peacefully and get ahead by building your own colony and acquiring more resources. Aggressive mission cards will let you attack other players and try to stop them from winning. Knowing how to play with these cards will give you lots of strategic advantages during the game.
