Terraforming Mars: Ares Expedition Makes A Comeback

BoardGameCo Patreon -   / boardgameco  

Ares Expedition arrived, we played it, we felt it was good, not great. But now it's staying. To be clear, it's not staying because we played it more...it's staying because we found various aspects of the game that we could make minor adjustments to, adjustments that moved it up a level for where it stands for me. Taking the game from a 3 to a 4, and in fact now being my preferred 2 player or solo method of playing Terraforming Mars. Terraforming Mars is still king for me. But I think Ares Expedition has its place.
