Solow, Ph.D. CLS Games Atlanta's Board Game Warehouse CELL: 770.310.2498 **Q: Does this expansion include updated player boards?** A: No, it does not. Respectfully, Robert S. Solow, Ph.D. CLS Games Atlanta's Board Game Warehouse CELL: 770.310.2498 **Q: How many new cards are included?** A: I believe 55 **Q: We use modified house rules to make the game cooperative. Would this expansion adapt to that?** A: Actually, that is exactly the opposite of the intent of this expansion! That being said, there are definitely some very nice new cards and corporations that I found worthwhile. And depending on exactly your homebrew rules work, you might be able to adapt the main play as well. But this expansion was definitely designed with PvP in mind. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great addition *by M***L on 25 January 2026* Added a couple of extra decisions to consider especially late game ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Adds a nice new dynamic to the base game *by A***Y on 27 March 2024* Allows for new strategies, adds lots of game play at the end of each generation. Worth it if you're really into TM, probably overkill if you just play occassionally. We always include this when we play, probably once a month. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Politics on Mars *by G***I on 22 January 2021* Turmoil is one of the several expansion packs released for TM, one of the best engine building games ever released. Of all the others, this is the one that stands out because it introduces completely different mechanics into the game. You do not work with more project cards or different placement bonuses and so on: you add a separate board on the side of the main one and most Turmoil actions happen there. The government is comprised of 5 ruling parties whose policies affect Mars in the future. The complexity added to the gameplay was estimated in 20 minutes per player or so, but what is interesting is how the Committee Board actions and the Global Events impact players in the coming generations... which means your strategy might be heavily impacted and you'll have to change quick. ## Frequently Bought Together - Terraforming Mars Turmoil by Stronghold Games, Strategy Board Game - Stronghold Games - Terraforming Mars Prelude 2 - Strategy Board Game Expansion - for 1 to 5 Players and Ages 12+ --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/275215291-terraforming-mars-turmoil](https://www.desertcart.be/products/275215291-terraforming-mars-turmoil) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-08-12*
