The first settlers arrived on Mars in the year 2037 and in the decades after establishment Mars Base Camp, private exploration companies began work on the creation of a self-sustaining colony. As chief astronaut for one of these enterprises, you want to be a pioneer in the development of the biggest, most advanced colony on Mars by achieving both D.O.M.E. mission goals as well as your company’s private agenda.In the beginning, you will be dependent on supplies from Earth and will have to travel often between the Mars Space Station and the planet's surface. As the colony expands over time, you will shift your activities to construct mines, power generators, water extractors, greenhouses, oxygen factories, and shelters. Your goal is to develop a self-sustaining colony independent of any terrestrial organization. This will require understanding the importance of water, air, power, and food — the necessities for survival.Do you dare take part in humankind’s biggest challenge?On Mars is played over several rounds, each consisting of two phases - the Colonization Phase and the Shuttle Phase.During the Colonization Phase, each player takes a turn during which they take actions. The available actions depend on the side of the board they are on. If you are in orbit, you can take blueprints, buy and develop technologies, and take supplies from the Warehouse. If you are on the surface of the planet, you can construct buildings with your bots, upgrade these buildings using blueprints, take scientists and new contracts, welcome new ships, and explore the planet’s surface with their rover. In the Shuttle Phase, players may travel between the colony and the Space Station in orbit.All buildings on Mars have a dependency on each other and some are required for the colony to Review: Intriguing game, great pieces - BGG says this is the most complex game to learn. It was a half hour teach from someone else who knew how to play. But I really enjoy this game. There’s so much to learn and do and in colonising a planet. I love Terraforming Mars and this is nothing like that game. You take several actions on the orbital side and different actions when you are on plant. After each players turned the shuttle moves from orbit to planet and back again. As a game advances the shuttle takes longer to go from orbit side to the planet. Each player uses the shuttle for the most part to travel from planet to orbit or back again. This requires you to strategize the timing of actions. So you have to time your actions with the shuttle. The creator of this game put a lot of thought into what would be required to colonize a planet, and I really appreciate how we put that into play. I love the wooden pieces. They well-made and look exactly like their representation so there’s no confusion as to their purpose. The storage trays are well fitted and there’s a place for everything when you’re done. Well, it’s more complex to learn. Once you grasp the order of things, it’s very easy to play. The challenge comes in the strategizing of your actions. I’m getting benefits and points competing with the other players. It is surprisingly short for a game of this type. This game is definitely not for everyone. My hubby doesn’t like it, but my game friends do. If you like compwtitive, strategy games that are pretty to look at, with great tactile pieces, this game is probably for you. Review: Excellent Euro Game With Deep Strategy - On Mars may be my favorite Euro game I've played thus far. The depth of the strategy in this game is nothing short of amazing. Your overall goal is to complete three shared missions (these change each game), and increase the life support system in orbit. You can finish the game by finishing the missions, maxing out the life support system, or a combination of both. Each player is working towards these goals together, and then you gain points along the way. Whoever has the most points at the end of the game wins. There's a multitude of ways to gain these points, and they're all interconnected with the actions you can take. You have to watch what other players are working towards, and adjust your strategy accordingly. I just finished my third play through, and this is definitely the most in depth strategy euro game that I've played thus far. There's hardly any luck involved in this game, which is something that I appreciate. However, there is still a ton of variability thanks to having different missions each game, and different private goals each game. I'm not going to do an in depth review if the mechanics of the game, but it plays similar to Underwater Cities by taking actions, and jockeying for a good turn order versus obtaining better benefits for taking your turn later. Check out some YouTube videos of the mechanics for a more in depth review of those. The quality of the materials in this game are top notch. The main board is huge, and the artwork on it is gorgeous. All of the cardboard pieces are very thick and durable. The wooden pieces are great quality as well, and they are screen printed on both sides, which is a nice touch you don't always get. The overall art of the game is spectacular as well. You get a lot of of high quality individual game pieces, and there is an integrated organizer included, which is amazing. That's not something you normally get included in a lot of games. Overall, this is an extremely high quality strategy Euro game that is super fun, and should have a ton of replayability. I've heard it described as a "brain burner," and I'd have to agree. I'd recommend it for people already familiar with strategy Euro games, as the rules and sheer complexity of the game can be intimidating at first and hard to grasp if you're not familiar with similar mechanics. However, if you're willing to dig into the rules and mechanics, you'll be rewarded with a complex, mentally engaging, and deep strategy game that will offer a ton of fun. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B083ST5V6M | | Age Range Description | Kid | | Best Sellers Rank | #259,261 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #6,603 in Board Games (Toys & Games) | | Brand Name | Eagle-Gryphon Games | | Color | Multicoloured | | Container Type | Box | | Customer Package Type | FFP (Flat Free Package) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (104) | | Educational Objective | Develop strategic planning, resource management, and understanding of space exploration complexities | | Grenre | Strategy | | Included Components | Chips | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor | | Is Assembly Required | No | | Item Dimensions | 7.87 x 7.87 x 1.57 inches | | Item Type Name | Game | | Item Weight | 3.65 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Eagle-Gryphon Games | | Manufacturer Minimum Age (MONTHS) | 12 | | Manufacturer Part Number | 76950 | | Material Type | Cardboard | | Model Name | On Mars | | Model Number | 76950 | | Model Year | 2020 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Players | 1-4 Pieces | | Operation Mode | manual | | Package Quantity | 1 | | Power Source | Power Generators (Manual for the board game) | | Product Style | Modern | | Set Name | Eagle-Gryphon Games On Mars | | Size | 20 cm x 20 cm x 4 cm | | Subject Character | Mars | | Theme | Science Fiction | | UPC | 609456648226 | ## Images ![Eagle-Gryphon Games On Mars - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51X1GmatkTL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Intriguing game, great pieces *by S***Z on September 11, 2024* BGG says this is the most complex game to learn.
