Terraforming Mars: Colonizing the Red Planet Has Never Been So Strategic
In the year 2400, humanity has a crazy and fascinating goal: transform Mars into a habitable planet . In Terraforming Mars , you lead a space mega-corporation and must compete against other players (or yourself alone) to gain prestige by terraforming the red planet with ingenuity, advanced technology, and a pinch of healthy interstellar competition.
A long-running strategic board game , Terraforming Mars puts over 200 project cards in your hand, each unique and packed with spectacular effects, synergies to build, and critical decisions to make. Resource management, tile placement, drafting, and variable powers blend together in a deep and engaging experience that never ceases to surprise.

Product Details
🐸 HOW TO PLAY
1. You are a team of ghost hunters in a haunted house
In Spooktacular , players work together as members of a paranormal team called to investigate a mansion haunted by eerie presences. It's a cooperative, narrative board game , with mysteries to solve and spirits to battle.
2. Each player has a character with special powers
Choose an investigator from various archetypes: psychic, technician, medium, occult expert… each has unique abilities that influence how they deal with events, obstacles, and supernatural manifestations.
3. Explore the map room by room, managing events and threats
The house is divided into interconnected rooms. During your turn, you can move around, investigate, collect items, summon spirits, or calm hostile ones. Each room can contain random or scripted events that advance the plot.
4. The game system is scenario-based, with different challenges and objectives each time
Each game is driven by a scenario with a specific story, clear objectives, and specific rules. Some missions require exorcisms, others escape, still others solve paranormal puzzles. High replayability and a spooky atmosphere are guaranteed.
5. The team wins… if it survives the infestation
If you complete the scenario's objective before the house is overtaken by dark forces or the characters are overwhelmed, you win. But every mistake, every unhandled appearance, brings you closer to defeat...

Terraforming Mars : The strategic board game that changed the gaming galaxy
Terraforming Mars is one of the most beloved modern strategic board games , localized into Italian by Ghenos Games, and consistently in the BoardGameGeek world top 10 .
Each player leads a corporation with unique powers, in a scientific challenge to improve oxygen, temperature and water availability on Mars .
The heart of the game is in the asymmetric deck-building : hundreds of project cards to acquire and play, triggering production engines and devastating combos.
But knowing how to play the cards is not enough: you need to make the most of the tiles on the board, compete for goals and prizes , and plan every phase of development.
A title that has made history, perfect for those who love management board games, rich, dense, and with a deep scientific soul .
We played it. And terraformed it. And played it again 🐸
Terraforming Mars is a milestone for those who love management games: ambitious, modular, exciting . 🐸
Every match is different, every guild challenges you to reinvent your approach, every combo manages to ignite sparks in your mind.
We like that the game has strong progression, a rewarding learning curve , and variety that increases with expansions (but even without them, it's still a masterpiece).
If you love brain challenges, games with boards, cards and resources to fit together , this is a must-have.
Just a tip: keep two hours free. And don't expect mercy from your opponents.
