"A worthy additional pair of maps"
5 stars"

A worthy additional pair of maps with different milestones and awards from the original and new layouts. If you enjoy Terraforming Mars and have played a dozen games then it's time to buy this expansion to add variety :-)

Cheers, Mark

"New maps = more fun"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

2 new maps changes the strategies of players which makes the game challenging and different each time. With 3 maps, the games are not as repetitive with only 1 map. New milestones and new awards help change the players strategies.

Description

Terraforming Mars: Hellas & Elysium, the first expansion for Terraforming Mars, consists of a double-sided game board presenting two new areas of Mars:

  • Elysium takes players almost to the opposite side of Mars’ equator, with vast lowlands for oceans in the north and dry, mineral-rich land in the south. Place a tile on Olympus Mons, the highest peak in the solar system, to gain three free cards!
  • Hellas, the southern wild, includes Mars’ south pole and the enormous seven-hex Hellas crater that just begs to become a giant lake. Building around the pole gives you new placement bonuses in the form of heat and possibly even water.

Each of these maps consists of new sets of milestones and awards with relevance for that particular map. Place three tiles around the south pole to be a Polar Explorer, for example, or race to have the most estates beside water on Elysium!
