Terraforming Mars: Ares Expedition (2021)

“Just a phenomenal game, it really is one of the best strategic games you can find out there.”(20:56)

“Terran from master expedition is a fantastic game and since i love race for the galaxy and this is something like that i mean i enjoy it as well so for me maybe this could be a little bit shorter maybe that's why it's not a must-have other than that it's a really really good game”(11:59)

“Despite Ares Expeditions hiccups at two players, at four (and hopefully five with the upcoming Foundations expansion) it sings. And while it’s not the whole album that Terraforming Mars vocalises, you do get some of the best hits.”

“My number four is terraforming mars the aries expansion this is the terraforming mars that you know and love just streamlined much faster in a card game”

“I think the game is fantastic the um there's a lot of uh really nice decisions throughout the game you never feel like you're really restricted and and not able to do stuff”(1:14:57)

“Terraforming Mars: Ares Expedition is a brilliant game. It’s the distilled, refined spirit of Terraforming Mars, and I love it.”

“Hardcore fans of the original Terraforming Mars might find this version too stripped down, but this game isn’t for the player who wants the crunchy two-hour experience with hundreds of pieces. For the rest of us—and I say this as someone who liked and gave a positive review to TM1.0—Terraforming Mars: Ares Expedition is a more accessible and enjoyable experience.”

“Terraforming Mars Aries Expedition is essentially the version of Terraforming Mars I always wanted. I like the original game, but it always felt a bit bloated and uneven. Aries Expedition fixes many of these issues while offering smoother gameplay and a much better solo experience.”

“It does strike me that Ares Expedition takes the absolute best parts of the original, distills them, adds more mechanical and cosmetic polish, slaps on a new turn structure, and makes those best parts even better.”(7:34)

“I know i do like this one a little bit more it's clean um i can just bust it out any time and play it's it's a really nice card game to play and it's not just a card game it still has a terraforming large feel to it”(22:37)

“I will always choose to play this over any iteration, honestly, of Terraforming Mars, because to me I felt like beyond the base game I didn't love the expansions. That's just for me on a personal level, so this checks off a lot of boxes for me.”(24:58)

“A game I expected to like but not one I ever imagined I'd love so much it still hasn't been put on a shelf! I recommend this oh so highly and think it's such a superb game.”
