Essentially, while there is a lot of stuff going on, it does accelerate things on Mars to the point where it’s not adding too much time. It all sounds really neat, and Caleb says (in the comments after his review) that it adds about 15 minutes in total to the game. Turmoil is the fifth expansion for the highly regarded strategy board game Terraforming Mars, which was released at the end of 2019 after a successful Kickstarter campaign.

Thankfully, they will be flipped over two generations before they take effect, so you have some time to prepare for them.Ĭaleb goes into great detail about the whole thing. Expansion Requires Terraforming Mars base game to play Turmoil, the fifth expansion to Terraforming Mars, takes players back to Mars, and the struggle for control and progress of human society on a big and dangerous planet. The expansion also has events that will positively or negatively affect players. (Example: ‘The Greens’ give you 4MC every time you place a greenery tile as long as they are the ruling party.”īecause of the potentially massive increases in megacredit production, the expansion adds a “tax” of 1 Terraforming Rating each turn to offset this. (Example: The ‘Scientists’ give 1MC for every Science Tag you have when they take power.) The ‘Ruling Policy’ is an ongoing effect that offers special discounts or bonuses. The six parties are: The Mars First Party, The Scientists, The Unity Party, The Kelvinists, The Reds, and The Greens.Įach round a new faction will become the ‘Ruling Party.’ Without simply pasting the rules here I will simply say that the most exciting element of the Committee Board is that each faction has a ‘Ruling Bonus’ and a ‘Ruling Policy.’ The ‘Ruling Bonus’ is an immediate bonus that is implemented when the faction takes office.

If you want even more detail, or if you’d rather read than watch a video, BGG user Caleb Bunch has written up a great review of it using the prototype components that he was sent. There are six parties that have delegates with the Martian government, and you are trying to have influence with the right ones to be able to do what you want. It’s essentially a side game of area control that will give you benefits as you work to terraform the planet. The video explains a bit more about how the Government of Mars board will work, and how the sixteen new project cards will work with it. No indication of what they will look like or if they’ll be more useful than the paper ones that came with the original game, but the fact that they’re doing it is great!ĭoesn’t sound like any other upgraded components, but that could be still kept under wraps.
