Preis Update 30.03.24

Die Zähmung des roten Planeten hat begonnen!
Konzerne wetteifern darum, den Mars in einen bewohnbaren Planeten zu verwandeln. Sie nutzen Unmengen an Ressourcen und innovative Technologien, um die Temperatur zu erhöhen, eine Atmosphäre, in der man atmen kann, und Ozeane voll Wasser zu erschaffen. Während das Terraforming weitergeht, werden immer mehr Menschen von der Erde auf den roten Planeten ziehen.
Bei Terraforming Mars leitest du einen Konzern mit einem bestimmten Profil. Spiele Projektkarten, baue die Produktion auf, platziere deine Städte und Grünflächen auf der Karte und bemühe dich um Meilensteine und Auszeichnungen! Wird dein Konzern die Menschheit in ein neues Zeitalter führen?

Features:

Die offizielle Adaption des klassischen Brettspiels, mit der Hilfe des Autors Jacob Fryxelius getreu dem Original entwickelt.
Rundenbasierte Strategie: Wähle einen spezialisierten Konzern, baue Einrichtungen, erforsche innovative Technologien und verwalte deine Ressourcenproduktion.
Leben auf dem Mars? Verbessere die Bedingungen auf dem roten Planeten, indem du den Planeten erwärmst, um das Eis zu schmelzen und Ozeane zu erschaffen, Sauerstoff produzierende Vegetation pflanzt und ihn mit kleinen und großen Lebewesen besiedelst.
Rivalität zwischen Konzernen: Einen schönen Wald hast du da gepflanzt. Wäre es nicht eine Schande, wenn ein großer Asteroid genau dort einschlagen würde? Entwickle Projekte, die deinen Gegnern Hürden in den Weg legen!
Mars für alle: Spiele solo oder mit bis zu 5 Spielern im Mehrspieler gegen lokale oder Online-Gegner, Menschen oder KI.
Spielvariante: Probier die „Konzernära“-Spielregeln aus, um das Spiel komplexer zu gestalten. Bei dieser Variante gibt es neue Karten mit 2 neuen Konzernen und der Schwerpunkt liegt auf Wirtschaft und Technologie. Dabei geht es um Projekte, die keinen direkten Beitrag zum Terraforming leisten, aber die Konzerne stärken, sodass du neue strategische Entscheidungsmöglichkeiten im Spiel hast!
Solo-Herausforderung: Schließe den Terraforming-Prozess auf dem Mars vor dem Ende der 14. Generation ab. Probiere neue Regeln und Features im anspruchsvollsten Solo-Modus des (roten) Planeten aus.
Draft-Variante jetzt verfügbar: Füge deinem Spiel mehr Strategie und Tiefe hinzu, indem du deine besten Karten wählst und deine Gegner blockierst. Beginne die Forschungsphase, indem du 4 Karten ziehst. Wähle eine und gib die übrigen an den nächsten Spieler weiter. Wähle wieder eine Karte und gib den Rest weiter, bis alle gezogenen Karten gedraftet wurden. Welche Karte wirst du wählen? Wirst du deinen Gegner daran hindern, eine bestimmte Karte zu bekommen, oder eine wählen, die am besten zu deiner Strategie passt?

Its a shame that this game doesnt get what it deserves in terms of developers.

I played this game for quite a while now, and I must say I like the mechanics and the ways each game can develop differently than the others, while paying attention to all the advantages the online version of this game brings: faster interactions, the possibility to play with others at your rank, but unfortunately there are obviously some programmers who think this is the reason to exploit the game and make it unbearable for many games in terms of bugs, reconnection time and the karma system which isnt transparent enough at all and which determines, which players will play together and who wont.
For true TM-lovers, I can recomment this game because of its advantages. For the easily-annoyed, this game can mean desperation.

How can you fix something to the point of being unusable?
The game used to have its small quirks about how it works, but with the latest update it feels like a pre-alpha version of the game. How this could EVER pass any quality test is beyond me. The game erratically performs things wrong, hangs up graphically to the point that even if you give up the game, the graphic bug still resides in the main menu. Seriously, if this isnt fix, dont touch this with a ten foot pole!

#dieses tolle spiel kenne ich von unzähligen brettspielabenden und habe es bei steam gekauft

es ist aber leider nur die grundversion

und diese ist hier völlig verbuggt

sieht alles ganz schön aus,
das interface hängt manchmal fest und man muss rejoinen, die karten werden manchmal nicht angezeigt

das karmalevelsystem ist völlig undurchsichtig
das matchmaking funktioniert auch deshalb nicht gut, man findet schon immer schnell ein paar mitspieler oder ein öffentliches spiel, wenn die gegner aber das spiel verlassen geht es teilweise einfach nicht weiter

der verlassende erhält strafpunkte - korrekt
man selber kommt nicht vorwärts oder rückwärts, muss das spiel verlassen und ... bekommt auch karmapunkte abgezogen

man fliegt aus einem spiel heraus, wenn die bedenkzeit um ist, diese wird aber nicht in einem counter /
oder
countdown angezeigt, sondern scheint über die gesamte partie zu kumulieren denn selbst wenn man am ende in seiner bauphase schnell macht fliegt man manchmal raus - und kommt nicht wieder herein - in sein eigenes spiel !

das ist total frustrierend - nach teilweise 1h spielzeit nichtmal seine platzierung zu erfahren...

jeder potentielle käufer sollte noch ein paar bugfixes und veränderungen abwarten, bevor er/sie dieses spiel hier kauft, immerhin für 20€

da es 4 erweiterungen des brettspiels gibt, sollte man vielleicht auch die veröffentlichung von diesen abwarten und dann alles im bundle kaufen

The game is good. It's Terraforming Mars on PC.

I'm just not recomending it because the devs don't want to fix the player timers. It's a problem that always existed and they don't care. My timer shouldn't run out on animations or when it's the other player turn.

Great board game and decent implementation of it, BUT:
1) Your play timer starts counting down even before the animations start for your turn, as well as after you end your turn. You get several seconds wasted just because the game is logically slow cycling through players, even though you literally have nothing left to act upon. Worth mentioning that i already have animations set to display fast.

2) UI freezes if you try to open up your cards or action sub-menus in preparation for your turn, in case you want to start playing them right away. If you have the sub-menus open before your turn, when your turn does come, they are still greyed out and unusable. You need to close and open them again to be able to execute any action.

3) + 4) + 5) The worst implementation and feeling in this game: If you go beyond your allocated max time, instead of just getting benched on the side and auto passing your turns untill the end (since you have no time left and it's only natural that you receive a penalty), you actually get kicked out of the game (YES, as in kicked to MAIN MENU), without knowing how the game turned out or having any chance to spectate, while an AI takes your place. This happened to me in the last generation, playing with friends, without AFK-ing at all, just having a bit of analysis paralysis on new card picks.

YES, you can increase the timer, BUT this is not about that, the sense of urgency is nice to have, while the experience of playing for 2h or so and then getting ejected like a random bot is a terrible feeling and honestly a pathetic implementation.

6) Other UI glitches which i honestly don't remember right now, just know that they caused forced mid-game restarts, because player(s) got stuck trying to do their actions (cards not displaying, buttons not showing up, etc.)

When it works, it's good, when it doesn't, it's terrible.

The game as a whole just flows so smoothly once you understand the basic mechanics of the cards. Prelude is definitely a great add-on to have adding more cards and depth to the game. I love the board game itself, but this just makes for easier and faster play when I'm alone. Definitely one of my favorite purchases along with Brass Birmingham. Highly suggest both of the games.

First issue: There is a REAL PROBLEM WITH THE QUITTERS. When someone quits, which is very common (about 30% times), the game is allmost unplayable. And your only solution is to quit too. And spend another 10-15' finding another game.
Second issue: IA is a mess. It just follow a script, faaaar from challenging. You wiil be bored of it at 5th game.
Third: price. This game should costs about 4$ for what you get.

AVOID THIS UNTIL THEY FIX THE QUITTERS PROBLEM.

Ordinarily, I rarely encounter bugs in games. Even when a lot of people complain about them. But in the years I've played this game, I've seen patches that were intended to fix bugs introduce new ones. I'm not even talking about multiplayer connection issues, but simple stuff like cards not working the way they are supposed to. This has been well documented by people who know the game inside and out. I don't even try to play multiplayer much--I use it for solo challenge only. While Terraforming Mars is a great game (which I would highly recommend in board-game form), I cannot give a positive review to this implementation. I certainly won't be buying any of their new expansion content unless current issues are ironed out.

As an avid fan of the board game, I can recommend this game for new and experienced players. The way it keeps track of your points and cards is super convenient and the interface is easy to learn. If you enjoy a nice calm game to play alone or with friends that wracks your brain a lil bit, this one's for you.

Too many glitches. I was booted from a game because I ran out of time, but the timer runs down on other people's turns and during animations I have no control over. I also had a game where someone ended up with negative money (not production) somehow and another where it said it was another player's turn on my end but on their end it said it was mine, and exiting and rejoining just left me waiting at an eternal loading screen.

Beyond that their are annoying decisions, like constant popups that take you out of viewing your cards, and graphical errors where it shows your opponent's number of cards instead of your own.

Not recommended until they fix it! Multiplayer is especially broken: only the person who takes the last turn can see who won! Also no turn notifications, and it wastes a ton of time giving turns to people who knew in advance they were just going to skip, or that they literally cannot do anything. It's also quite buggy, though none are game-breaking. The board game is great, this version might still be someday, but has a ways to go.

A catastrophically poor UI and fist-slam-annoying bugs mean this should only be bought if your loneliness with the physical board game demands it.

Where to start? I love the board game, but a single online game was enough to leave me rocking gently in my chair cradling my fragile temples. You can read a lot of the sorry history on the Board Game Geek forum, complete with official reply from the Fryxelius brothers on page 3. A third-party developer contracted out by Asmodee who made a pig's ear of things, and some best-efforts finance-bound attempts by Asmodee to rein in the worst offences without a complete re-write.

It looks like most/all of the issues with the game mechanics itself have now been ironed out but, oh god, the UI and the remaining bugs. The UI appears to have been designed by someone with zero insight into how board games are actually played and the creative UX talents of a walnut.

* Why is there no at-a-glance view of all players' key numbers (instead requiring cycling through each player individually)? Ideally there'd be several alternative views you could cycle through.

* Why are there innumerable confirmation buttons for situations where they're unnecessary?

* Why does the 'amazing' 3D planet animation fail to have any mouse-overs or popups to explain what the placed tiles are? (The board game had clear stylised icons for a reason... The tile graphics are all style over substance.)

* Why can't I order my cards (you know, how a physical player would to plan out their turns)? There was obvious scope in the computer format to improve this (e.g., allow you to queue up sets of actions ready for your turn) but alas not.

* Why can't I easily see who goes first each turn (a pretty crucial thing since turn order can make or break awards and milestones)? The board game has a great big 'first player' marker for a reason...

* Why aren't basic choices (such as the initial 10 cards and 2 corps) laid out in a sensible way (um, like just showing me the 10 cards and corps together on the same screen)?

* Why are there such painful animations of player actions (at least some of which are now turn-offable)?

* Why can't you see the end-game state at, you know, the end of the game?

And then the bugs. Oh, those bugs...

* Your timer going down during your opponents' turn in several circumstances.
* The chat 'frozen' at many points during the game.
* Not being able to see your cards at various random points.
* Delayed notification of milestone actions. (Not 100% sure, but I was carefully watching to snipe a milestone and it seemed 100% clear the opponent hadn't played it but then it turned out they had a gen later...)

(Loads of people have also reported crashes and 'broken' situations that result in an automatic loss though I've not seen any yet.) The bugs above don't sound massively game-breaking but, believe me, in tandem with the UI they just drain enjoyment from the game.

As it stands, the only reason to play this is if your love of the game and need for available/competent players outweigh the enthusiasm-eviscerating mixture of the above. I applaud the Fryxelius brothers' honesty and passion in their response but it's all sadly ineffectual. I hope Asmodee will pull through with some further patches but I suspect the joys of game development production and financial decision-making will prevent it....

Stability makes this game a piece of crap.
As long as you don't mind investing 45 min to an hour of your time into a game to never know who actually won the game because there are so many ways this game hangs, you'll love this game. But if you have any desire to know who actually won at the end, forget it. The devs don't seem to give a crap about the players because the bugs that cause it to hang have been around for YEARS and even though they have released updated functionality, they never bothered to fix the bugs that cause it to hang. Biggest waste of money and time ever.

It's very very bad.
I love the board game, but the digital implementation is atrocious.
The game doesnt know if it wants to be a PC game or a board game. There are animations that take 5-10 seconds after every action. While this happens you cant do anything, cant browse your hand, played cards, tags or anything and if you were you get kicked out of that window. Yes that means even if an opponent does something.
On top of that you have to click okay every single time some1 does something to acknowledge it. You literally stuck watching the screen cant alt tab out or anything, specially when 2 players passing back and forrth 1 action at a time.
Its a very big waste of time and money as it is.
I really hope they do something about it. It is infuriating that it takes away time from your bank when you wait for the animations, that you literally cant click on anything while an animation is happening.

Im very sad. Total buyers remorse, but i have hope (based on nothing) that they will fix it.

At least make it so that you can CHOOSE which company you wanna play in solo terraforming. Don't want to forfeit the match 50 times just so I can get to the specific company I want to play to try out new strategies.

This is my favorite quick-playing multiplayer world-building game. The boardgame is enjoyable, but the bookkeeping is just a bit too unwieldy and can make players prone to errors and oversights. The online game is a big improvement because it does all the bookkeeping and lets players focus on strategy. The different corporations enhance replayability by incentivizing players to develop different resources, while the Prelude cards help to speed up play. Highly recommended.

My group of friends and I have played over 50 games of the boardgame. We have all the expansion.

This game is the same as the boardgame but easier to pick up since it's very well explained.

It's also easier to organize games since we can all play from our home.

Games tend to be a bit shorter too since a lot is automated.

Bear in mind that there is a few bugs that we have encountered, we have had no crashes yet, but, sometimes we cannot see our card until it's your turn. 1 game we had to leave and rejoin, nothing game breaking so far.

Very fun, without the hassle of having to organize a real life game.

Terraforming Mars is one of my favourite board games of all time, and Jacob and his brothers designed a fantastic engine-building game that I've been playing for hundreds of hours both online and live.

But this buggy mess is a disgrace to the their name, and should be in free beta still, until the game actually runs.
1 out of 4 games are not able to be finished due to game breaking bugs, and after spending at least 1-2 hrs on a game, it gets supremely frustrating.

When the game works, it's the best engine-building board game ever made, but it doesn't work consistently so I'd be dishonest to recommend it even though I have hundreds of hours in the game (yes I'm an addict).

While it would certainly be better with all of the expansions in place, I can play a solo game extremely quickly compared to with the board game version and haven't had any issues there.

Some QoL features would be welcome like being able to undo actions while it is still your turn, it is definitely in a playable state.

Not having the rest of the expansions is a pretty big con IMO, but I have sunk enough time into it to be comfortable recommending it.

I bought the digital version of Terraforming Mars because I played the original board game 2-3 times in the analog world and it is a game I want to play at least a dozen more times, with other people. The online digital version seemed a good way to do that, what with Covid and all.

It has not worked out well at all, and frankly I don't expect it to get better, based on how some comments from years ago were noting the same issues I am texting my friends about right now as I write this. Issues like:

- inviting friends to start a game doesn't work (3 people get the invite, 1 person can't see it, the unseeing player's user name appears in the game the rest can see, but the 4th person can't play, and players 1-3 are all waiting for player 4 to take a turn - that happened two games in a row, with two different people as player 4)
- drafting doesn't work, we think possibly because we need to enforce player order that the game doesn't know how to?
- buying your cards for the next generation doesn't work the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd times you choose, again maybe possibly due to order of play issues that that the game holds you to, but doesn't tell you that's it's doing so. End result is picking from the same choice of cards 2,3,4 times until for some random reason it takes your choices and lets you move on to playing
- ending a game (when it happens) is not at all satisfying. One person (if you're lucky!) gets to see a summary screen with scoring...everybody else has to rely on that one person to hopefully get a screen shot so we can know who did what
- zombie games in various stages (started but unable to finish? finished but unable to accept it and move on? forfeited to try and restart a non-buggy instance, but refusing to go away? who knows?) stick around in your queue, generally confusing you as to what actual viable game you might be able to play.

These issues are happening cross-platform (our group has PC/iOS/Android) so it's not just the PC implementation. I've played one game where everybody had it via Steam, and we were all on a call together, taking turns right after each other, with no drafting, and that was playable. Anything less than that level of coordination and it's been a terrible experience.

Bottom line: in my opinion, do not buy this if you expect to play multiplayer with other real people, especially not if you want to play asynchronously.

Lovely boardgame, not-so lovely digital version.

The look and feel of Terraforming Mars on computer is pretty nice, and it's definitely still enjoyable to play. However, the execution feels lackluster and unpolished - The UI can be a bit confusing, there are a few basic things that make me feel like the usability was not tested enough (e.g. not being able to still see your card when the play confirmation popup comes up), and some very basic features are missing.

The worst for me is that you CANNOT have human players and AI players in the same online game. That's ridiculous to me - Games like Wingspan for computer manage this just fine, and it feels like an incredibly basic feature to leave out. If I have two real life friends who want to play, but we wanna do four players, we cannot round it out with a fourth AI player. Big minus in my opinion.

You also cannot pick your player color. Again, such an incredibly basic feature and yet it's not present here. I have to invite people in a specific order to make sure they get the color they want.

On top of that, the digital version absolutely has bug problems. Personally I have thankfully not encountered some of the same stuff other reviewers have noted, but the game can definitely be unresponsive at times, or have strange glitches.

All around, I think Asmodee very much cheaped out on this and hoped it would sell based on the strong boardgame alone. Only get this on sale, if at all.

Game has too many bugs and especially the time management features are really horribly implemented: Like in chess every player gets a fixed amount of time in online mode yet your clock keeps ticking down even during animations caused by your opponents' actions. That's an absolute no-go. And there's no way to grant your opponent some time, no increment (additional time per turn as in chess) or another feature that would somehow save the atrocious implementation of time mangement in this game.

I love the board game and I was excited when I found out I can play it with my friends in quarantine.
But bugs and the timeout mechanic have ruined my last 3-4 games.

The game crashes when some card combinations are played, or it even crashes randomly.
Also when your timer is over you get tossed from the game, instead of e.g. getting a point penalty.
It is super sad to invest 2-3 hours in a game only for one player to get tossed in the last turn.

Not going to play this anymore, i'll stick to the board game.

Despite the large number of unaddressed quality of life bugs and the abysmally poor performance of TM as an asynchronous game, it is still pretty enough and functional enough that I would recommend it to anyone who is unable to play the real game. I would never recommend it over tabletop until they acknowledge and address some of the long-standing complaints made by the community.

I LOVE this game when it works. I have all the physical and digital expansions. HOWEVER, the online version is way too glitchy. If it happens every now and then, that's fine. But I am frequently missing out on the final score for a 2-3 hour game. It just happened AGAIN after we all finished the last generation.

Recommendations:
Fix the bugs so we can finish games

Gameplay:
Amazing game, one of the best all-time

Love the board game. This implementation is... okay. I mean, to their credit, I think they've fixed most of the actual bugs, but the game still has some UI and interface things that are anywhere from mildly to very annoying:

1. There's very little support to undo a move. There's no clicking a card just to see what the placement options are. Once you've started playing a card, you're locked into that. For most board game implementations, especially since the last 5+ years, an undo feature is pretty standard.
2. The game log is pretty barebones. At least they have one, but it pretty much just records what cards have been played. Says nothing about what decisions were made or what effects happened (when there are multiple options), what cards you had in your hand, etc.
3. This doesn't happen a lot, but there are sometimes when you're in the middle of an action and want to look at the board and the game won't let you. This mostly happens when you're deciding which cards to buy.
4. This is the big one. Tiles on the board don't use the icons from the board game, they use their own unique models. Not an issue, right? EXCEPT THE TILES AREN'T LABELED AT ALL. And so many of the special tiles look like cities from a glance, and there's absolutely no way to tell what one of the special tiles is. At a minimum, there ought to be a tooltip that pops up when you hover over the tile or something. To me, this is easily the most annoying feature.

Alright, enough beating up the game. It is still a passable implementation of one of the best board games, the AI is actually not too bad (although not really challenging once you get good at the game), and they have worked to at least get the glaring bugs fixed. Still, it falls short of a lot of the best board game implementations out there. I give it a thumbs up, but if you don't already enjoy the board game, I'd probably recommend passing.

This game is absolutely not worth it. It is extremely bugged. Out of 6 games I played, only 1 went smoothly. Other 5 went horribly. It constantly bugs out during draft phase. You have to constantly leave and reenter the game and hope it is resolved. Game is only worth it if they fix it (press x to doubt), otherwise maaybe buy it when it is 90% off.

The devs released a Mac version of this game. It was pretty great. Then they pulled it off Steam, wiping the executable file off the hard drives of mac users who had purchased it. This is a serious problem. They need to get their act together, fix whatever the problem is with the mac version, and re-release it.

This [strike]is[/strike] was an excellent implementation of a superb game.

There are problems with this version of the game. Namely when I am in an online match with friends that has a time limit. Sometimes the game will switch to showing my opponent's cards/resources etc. and no matter how hard I try, it will not switch back to my own so I am stuck either having to unwillingly pass my turn and interfering with gameplay or exit the application entirely. If this ever gets resolved, thumbs up ten times over. Terraforming Mars is a fantastic game, but this digital version is full of problems.

Game was fine when I got it from humble bundle. But since January I have not been able to log online and play with friends. This game has had several game breaking glitches that have still not been fixed.

Asmodee support is useless and doesn't respond at all, and does not help in any of their other games either.

DO NOT BUY, unless you can handle excessive bugs and also risk losing the online feature randomly.

List of game breaking bugs/issues still present:
- People joining the online games can just afk once joined and there is no kick function or speed up move
- If people quit the game, and an AI replaces them, there are chances that the AI will just do nothing ruining the game
- Sometimes when you are looking at your opponents resources, the game will not allow you to do actions or see your cards when its your turn. This can be fixed by going to standard projects then exiting out (such as selling 0 cards).
- Turning off full screen mode cannot be reverted no matter how many times you click it to fullscreen

Edit: They have fixed my log in issue.

DONT BUY THIS if you want to play with friends! Instead buy Tabletop Simulator (here on steam) and get a fan created implementation there. That is much less frustrating, despite having to implement the rules yourself.

Issues we ran into when 4 friends all played:
1) You have to make asmodee accounts (annoying, but whatever)
2) You Have to specify a time frame, and if one player runs out of time, there is no way to grant more time, the game just auto-kicks and replaced the player with a bot. Exactly NOT what friends want.
3) Each player sees a different amount of time for each other player (possibly due to different animation speed settings). This is quite confusing, especially given the harsh auto-kick policy.
4) While the graphics look pretty, and are fairly functional, it is pretty hard to see what others are doing.
5) They added animations to try to force players to watch what others are doing, but every time an animation plays, it closes the windows where you're looking at your cards and thinking about what to do on YOUR turn, making the overall game just take LONGER.
6) You can't disable animations all together. You have to watch them, but you can change the speed from slow to very fast.
7) There is no UNDO button. Even during some simultaneous play, like drafting of the cards, if you finish first, and then want to change your mind, you cant, even if no one else has yet clicked their action.
8) In many places there is no cancel button. Many times once you've selected an action, it will only prompt you with a Submit button, but no other button... You just have to click Submit.
8) There is still a major bug, in that sometimes when it's not your turn, you can't see your own cards. This can happen when you're drafting or when you're just studying for your turn. It's super annoying and slows the game way down.

All in all, I'd be frustrated had this game been $4.99, but at $20 price point, this is unacceptable!

The game play is solid and allows you to move through a fairly complex board game quickly on a digital platform with all the different actions you can take represented in a fairly clean view. The actual game is one of my favorite board games out there. The way the map evolves and the different corporations/prelude combinations allows for a lot of variation in play and different engine building strategies. The only drawback is that even with taking confirmation pop-ups off, there are too many screens/pop-ups to click through during the game.

Almost unplayable; certain utterly worthless for multiplayer. The following features are terrible, missing and/or inadequate:

-Cannot add AI players to Multiplayer Game (unlike, say, Through the Ages)
-Online Lobby is a mess
-Can't invite friends through the Steam Overlay
-Have to create a worthless Asmodee Games profile so they can track your activity
-Inadequate turn summary/log (doesn't, for example, show what ability was copied with Robo Work Force - other details are often missing as well)
-Does not show any player activity during turn, only at end of turn
-Menus are very 'herky jerky' and seize control away from the player while they are attempting to inspect elements

Honestly, this is the most disappointing, shabby, messy, worthless digital adaptation of a board game I think I've every played. I love Terraforming Mars, and this game is hot garbage. Asmodee should be ashamed.

Great strategy board game - could use some refinements in the online mechanics (undo button please!) that would make it more appealing to more players. Expansions are also a must to maintain and even build interest as the base game is very...basic...once you've had the pleasure of playing all the expansions in the tabletop version. Colonies next please!

Can not recommend the multiplayer aspects of this game as I was unable to get anyone to join my game.
Friends and I purchased Terraforming Mars as we love the board game and wanted to play remotely during COVID lock downs. After 45+ minutes of creating multiple games and trying to join them and not receiving one of the join request that are suppose to bring your friends into the game, we gave up. As far as I can tell multiplayer with private hosting is broken.

look for hours on screen without doing anything?
See how someone ruin your game by leaving?
Then this is perfect game for you, as there is no mechanism which kick AI player many of them leave during the game but their time is still running. So if you want to continue game you need to wait 30-60 minutes until their time will end.
Same entertainment as watching paint drying on the wall.

Shiny on on the surface, horrible technical problems under the hood. The netcode is deeply flawed and multiplayer games suffer from synchronization issues, this means your clock might be running even though your client shows its someone else's turn. The chat might sometimes connect to the global chat and not your lobby's chat. The whole game is also full of unskippable animations which are really annoying when your turns are time limited. Oh yeah, parts of the game UI just disappear occasionally...

This board game is also very popular in Korea.
Because it was released as a board game translated into Korean.

However, it is very difficult for Koreans to play this game in English.
Because it does not provide a Korean version of the Steam version game.

Do you want to sell more in Korea? If so, release the Korean patch quickly.

The digital version of this game has a rocky history. It was really buggy for a long time. It took 2+ years to fix just the cards. Not to mention interface, online, and usability issues. To the devs credit, they fixed a lot of them, but it took them a long time to do so. And that's just the base game.
Speaking of which, despite being out 2+ years, there are [strike]no expansions[/strike], no variable goals, no different boards, no preludes, colonies, etc.

EDIT: Apparently they're releasing a prelude expansion next week. While I'm looking forward to it, I wonder how buggy it will be at launch.

The base game is fine, if you like the solo challenge or playing online with friends (don't recommend randos). You can also play against AI opponents if you like having no challenge. The AI is so weak that when I play against it, I'll set it to 3 players with the hard AI and if I don't have more than the combined score of the 2 AIs, I consider it a loss.

With all that said, you might wonder why do I recommend it? Well, I have 300+ hours logged on this game. There's obviously something good about it. That thing is that it IS Terraforming Mars. One of my favorite board games. So if you like TM, this is now a decent implementation of the base board game.

While the actual board game Terraforming Mars is a great game, this implementation is currently not up to par. I have played one online multi-player game with friends and we encountered 5 separate bugs, 3 of which altered gameplay (i.e. they could have unfairly changed the outcome of the game). Some of these bugs, such as your main interfaces disappearing, show that the bugs run deep and are not just minor things. The engine needs a serious rework.

On top of this, the game does not even provide a way to report these bugs. It seems you may need to go to a 3rd party forum, but I didn't look further than that.

Apparently the company who first made this game did a horrible job, and now a second company is working on it. They have definitely done a good job fixing it, since the game is almost up to par. The Prelude update is set to come out December 8th, which hopefully contains bug fixes. I will update my review afterwards once these bugs are fixed and the game becomes playable.

At first glance, it seemed very complicated. The tutorial itself is a bit lacking, but after playing a few rounds against easy AI, things started to get clear rather quickly.

After playing more than fifteen rounds, the hard AI has become a fun challenge. And so is solo mode where you have a limited amount of turns without any opponents to completely terraform Mars.

Never played the original board game so can't compare.
Also not sure about the multiplayer part, haven't tried it.

This is an interesting board game about terraforming planet Mars.
You could play either against AI or online against human competitors. The game is played by drawing before bought cards that give ressources, cities or other bonuses, while you place city tiles, sea or green tiles on the map. You pay ressources to place your cards on the map or enhance the eviromental stats up to the goal, where Mars is able to survive alone. The developers do care and from time-to-time they even offer open beta keys to test DLC or other stuff. They like the active community to adopt and enhance the game every now and then. It is a cool game for 1-2 hours or some longer against human players, if you like the challenge. Recommanded? Yes, if you like board games placed inside a given frame of rules. Easy to learn, but hard to master...

Best for me was the fully Linux playability with Steam's Proton support and showed up rock solid.

The game is unacceptably buggy. We all love Terraforming Mars, but the digital implementation is way too prone to catastrophic error for the price paid and large fanbase. I'd say every third or fourth game, either players are forced to forfeit halfway through the game because their game froze but their counter is still running down. Or a player ghosts everyone else and all have to sit for 20 minutes while that counter counts to zero so everyone else can keep playing. 3 times in the past 2 weeks I've been forced out of a game within the last few generations because of issues like this, which is agonizingly, infuriatingly terrible.

With COVID forcing people to stay apart, I wouldn't NOT recommend buying this game, but be forewarned that the online public game experience is frequently fraught. Private games with friends should be fine as long as you set long timers. But the developers need to fix this game. Seriously. The bugs are unacceptable.

A great adaptation of an awesome boardgame. But incredibly frustrating when you've been playing a game for over an hour and it crashes. I can't recommend it in this state.

I have only played Local with AI opponents, and have only been able to complete 2 out of 4 games due to game-ending bugs. Both times the only option was to forfeit the game. I also saw at least one time when the opponent played a card illegally. Who knows how many times that happened when I didn't notice it?

This is a very worthy digital reimagination of the excellent board game Terraforming Mars. The UI is very polished and it looks and behaves delightfully. There are still a small number of minor bugs (unimportant things like an occasional animation playing before you click a button to trigger it) but I believe most of the complaints from years past about bugs have been resolved.

I do hope they can add a few things:
- Expansions as DLC
- A free way for friends to join a multiplayer game hosted by an owner of the game, since physical board games only require a single person to own the game and it's prohibitively expensive to play this at a (digital) party with friends if everyone has to go out and buy the game on Steam first (I think this would open up a new use case, for playing it with friends like the physical board game, especially during this pandemic, and could encourage more people to buy this if they know it's possible to host it with friends)

I have played several times on board and I must say that unfortunately I am very dissappointed with the digital version.

My reasons:

-I runs very slow.
-The AI is too easy to beat.
-Tiny numbers and letters impossible to distinguish
-UI is far from intuitive.
-Crashed during my first game after almos two hours of playing.

I feel very sorry for a great game that has been ruined this way.

Plays just like the boardgame but much faster and you don't have to worry about tracking resources and resource generator values. Good for solo play. Board game is better for group play.

I love the board game this is based off of, but sadly they ported this to pc poorly. The team working on this got several of the rules wrong when implementing it for PC, or they were using some sort of house rules to do it... Either way, that's a big turn off. The board game is already in Tabletop Simulator anyways, so I'd rather just play it there. Plus the AI is set up pretty badly as well. The 'Easy' AI goes straight for standard projects every turn, buying oceans nonstop and then greenery. I think the intent was to make them 'waste' money on SP's, but it has the opposite intended effect where instead they just gobble up the terraforming points as quickly as possible.
Not worth the purchase as it stands. Get TTS, play it with friends, save yourself the headaches of dealing with this nonsense.

-The AI is so dumb! You always win with 40-60% more points!
-The animations drags out the game to double the length. So many bugs in the game too! Such a shame, since the game mechanics are awesome!

Great adaptation of a fantastic board game; if you don't have the time, money, or friends to play the original then this is a good substitute. The AI can be a little stupid at times, but that doesn't detract from the overall experience.

The only real downside is the complete lack of expansions; the board game has received a total of five since its release in 2016, but it doesn't look like any of them will be added to this version given that it's almost two year old. The Venus Next, Prelude, and Turmoil expansions would add more to the interface so their lack of inclusion is understandable, but Hellas & Elysium and Prelude would bring a significant degree of replayability with little effort.

Edit: looks like expansions are in development, but there has been a number of issues related to game development that have prevented them from coming out as of yet (boardgamegeek (dot) com/thread/2432874/article/34902090#34902090). Hope there is a bright future ahead for the game!

It's a decent digital version of the boardgame, but the multiplayer networking is absolute garbage. The game will silently stop responding for one player, and they have to quit the game and reenter before it will accept their actions. This happens so frequently for some people they had to do this every round they play.

Too many glitches and the animations/gameplay is clunky resulting in lots of downtime and waiting... you'll spend 2 hours for just one match... and then it will bug out and ruin/waste the 2 hours you just spent... I can set up, play, and clean up the physical board game faster... do NOT buy this game...

Misses some crucial functionality e.g.
- no MacOS version
- no indication of which way drafting is proceeding
- no very low graphics settings for better performance on less powerful computers
- game log misses out many events
- pitiful AI
Usability lacking e.g. can't easily flick through info on different players

This is a CONDITIONAL RECOMMENDATION, though I am overall not recommending for most. I'm hoping more negative reviews will drive Asmodee to fix the myriad of issues. As of 2020-06-21, there are plenty of bugs, especially when playing online. For example, if you click the Log button to review previously played cards/player turns, and then click a card to read it's text, then hit escape to back out, the screen goes dim and you are locked out until you leave the game and re-join. There are also certain cards that just don't work correctly. as other's have noticed. If you are familiar with the boardgame and only going to be playing with friends, then it's worth it during a sale. I wouldn't not buy these to compete in the rankings though due to all the issues.

Bugs aside, I think this is a very good implementation of the board game and really helps streamline all the fiddliness of the physical version. It keeps tracks of all your symbols, extra actions, etc so you don't have to constantly review all your previously played cards. This also keeps the interface less cluttered. The sound effects and visual effects are also fun.

Hard AI for offline play is not at all competent in different corporations, as well as different stages of the game. As for online game, there is neither time-out in each turn nor report/kick button for player who hog the gameplay by waiting idly till end of the game for other players to quit and lose karma. There is lack of interaction features among players like joining game as audience, and detailed summary by timeline.

I understand from others here that Asmodee developers are tardy. Should Stronghold Games be reading this, consider terminating your partnership with them. This game has much more monetizing potential to be trashed in such manner.

I have played the actual board game ever since it came out and love it and have most of the expansions. During the Covidian-Lockdown it has been great to be able to play my friends.

I would like to see some of the expansions added one day, like the alternative board lay outs of Hellas and Elysium or any of the others to add a bit of variety.

On multi-player, there are a few bug that it would be nice for the developers to iron out, for example it's hard to look at your own cards when its someone else's turn as they keep on disappearing, but the bugs are quite minor.

All in all a big thumbs up from me.

Awesome game. (We played the board game at board game night before covid 9 situation). Ever since then we play it constantly with our group. No wonder the game is one of the top rated on boardgame geek site.

Apart from some minor bugs (not being able to see your own cards sometimes when it's not your turn - it happened more frequently but now barely happens - maybe once in 5 games) the game is stellar.

Also - if you guys develop the DLCs from the boardgame, we would buy them in an instant. :D

There is a bug that your cared hand will disappear at times, you have to exit and come back in and then it find your hand again. Really needs DLC for all the expansions available as well. I'd give it 2.5 stars out of 5

I love Terraforming Mars, it is one of my go to board games. That said, I can't, at the moment, recommend this version of it. There are numerous bugs with cards that make it difficult to play either the solo game or the online version. Many of these bugs have been a problem, and have been reported to the devs for more than a year, and they still have not fixed them. If you love the board game version of the game, this version will frustrate you with the lack of bug fixes and numerous problems that have existed for far longer than is acceptable.

I changed my review for negative, even though I really like this game it has TOTALLY ANNOYING design MISTAKES. In particular, I mean the multiplayer system and time counting.
For example, most of the games are set to let's say 45 minutes total time for players.
if a player quits, you HAVE TO WAIT his remaining time until he drops.
If you run out of time, you cannot get back to see the scoring.
Your time runs out even when you are not playing, for example during production phases.
I would gladly change my review to positive if a TURN-BASED time counting system would be introduced and you could check the results of your past games.

This implementation is okay. Here is what I did not like:

- Not possible to add bots during set up of a multiplayer match
- It's hard (if possible) to notice when your opponent lost on time and replaced by a bot - unless they tell you
- There is no gallery for game cards, this is really frustrating. Look at Scythe and many other games implementations, to me this is a must have
- For the rules, apart from the tutorial, the game defers you to the official PDF rules. There is no in-game rule pages, or glossary or rules search.

On the plus side:

The flow of the game and the controls are good. It's always clear what's happening and why.

This is a really bad game versus the board game. There are some glitches where you can not see your cards in multiplayer when it is your turn. When you get out and go back in, the AI plays for you, and poorly at that. Then in multiplayer, it seems like in some games, if you know you are going to lose because your opponent just screwed you over and went for VP the whole game, the game keeps going after time instead of saying all the players lose. Solo is good, but after you beat every corporation it gets boring. Also when trying to read the rules, in multiplayer, it is illegible as it goes behind the other text.

I'm a huge fan of the original board game and I was really surprised about all the bad reviews, asmodee has some very nice digital version games.

This looks like a poorly designed app ported to pc.
Even with the options to make the game faster ('no confirmation dialog', 'auto end turn', 'no animation')
the game has a lot of dialogs and weird downtime.
The resources use a lot of space of the interface but the milestones, awards and projects are hidden.
The cards are in a special dialog that is really hard to have an overview and plan ahead.
It would be really nice if we could only see a board like the original one instead of this all fancy interface...

I like the game, but have to keep track of which cards fail to function properly. One corp even fails to work properly. Supposedly you start with a -20 income and get a bonus of 4 to large standard projects, but you get neither. A card exchanging energy foe credits does not work either, making you waste credits aquiring and playing it.

It's a decent digital version of an excellent board game.

They need some work on their UI and how annoying it is to try and sync up with friends to play with people online together.

Still, it's a satisfactory way to play the game when your table is empty at home.

It's one of the greatest boardgames of all time. It's the sole reason that I stuck around for as long as I did. The online is a slog between waiting for several minutes until you can make a move and if someone decides to go afk the opponents gets to sit for a full hour before the game kicks them out, granted that the current game has a time limit of one hour. That is another horrible flaw in the design. The timer for turns is so poorly implemented that the ones waiting for their turn often lose more time on their clock than the actual players. This has been so bad in some games that some players are just getting kicked out cause one player has a tactic that allows him to have 10 more actions than everyone else. So there is actually a tactic to make your opponent lose by overtime by going overtime yourself. Now I'm nagging I'm sorry but it has been an issue for at least one year according to the forums and the problems still remain. There is also issues with chats stop working and games plainly freezing that makes all in game lose karma (A trackerscore to let people know who usually leaves prematurely (which in itself isn't a horrible idea although people should be allowed to leave a 3 hour session in a very snowbally game if they see halfway in they can't catch up in a million years whats the fun in staying another 1,5 hour?). But that is what the community is like and that's better than everyone leaving I guess.

Please read the community page and forums before purchasing this game.
I love Terraforming Mars and I play the board game with my mates in most of my weekends. I have bought this game to play with the online community. However, at the current state of the game, it is unplayable on multiplayer. The game gets stuck on Generation 9 or 11 at draft phase. I have this game for over a month now, 32 hours played and I STILL couldn't finish an online game. Mostly we do hot seat with my girlfriend now bacause of this.

As I said, please take a look at forums before giving the decision to buy this game.

Since this product doesn't deliver what it promotes (online - multiplayer game), I am actually considering for a refund.

The game is made very poorly, obviously very little thought was spent on making it easy and comprehensible. Not to mention, the software lags very often and there are numerous bugs.
I really don't know what they have been doing since it launched.
I am very disappointed, especially, since I have recenltly played the real-life game with all the expansions, including Turmoil, and it was great!
I wish they would scrap the current version and gave the design to professionals (like people at boardgamearena).
Very unprofessional, poor attention to detail, unnessessary graphics, difficult interface.

First: The game is pretty nice in itself. Could be a great game, but so far, it's just a nice game.
What takes away is that *ALL* multiplayer games I have played so far break after the draft phase around generation 8. As this seems to be a solvable problem, I expect to change this review, if and when the bug has been properly addressed.
For the game itself: The board game has a huge focus on the cards, and I like that about the original game. Here, the cards are abstracted with a holo-look and are hidden most of the time.
Whenever the turn changes, the currently active player get's selected, so you see his stats, number of cards, etc. This prevents you from planning your turn, as you constantly get dragged away from your own playing area.
Finally: I like the historization of previous moves (played cards, used actions, standard projects...). But the view lacks important information, specifically if the action had a choice, you don't see what was picked. That could be improved.

A fun port of the tabletop game, but there are some annoying short comings that make the game less than a home run.

Cons:
-> Slow turns. Even at the fastest speed, I find myself hate drafting action cards to prevent the computer from taking them and wasting time each round.
-> Bad computer opponents. The 'hard' ai doesn't sequence it's plays correctly within the same round, (plays a card that cares about building tags, then a building tag afterwards), doesn't understand the value of moves in relation to the time left in the game (will play infrastructure cards on the last turn), and generally just seems to have a really hard time placing tiles in intelligent positions.

All in all, a fun diversion for addicts of the tabletop game, but it lacks the polish that would make it's good game play great.

The physical version of this has become one of my favorite board games. It has just the right level of complexity and diversity of options such that you'll never play quite the same way twice, but also never feel like someone else's win came out of left field. This computer game implements it wonderfully and has the added benefit of providing summaries of important information that you could know in game, like how many science tags each player has, that are burdensome to keep track of in the physical version of the game.

At this point I would not recommend purchasing this game. I don't enjoy saying this because this game certainly seems like it would be a lot of fun. I'm hoping the devs will see this and post needed changes.

The main concern is that the game load feature doesn't work. If you stop a game midway through and hope to restart it later, good luck. The game just locks up and you have to end the task. I often don't have time to play a game completely through.

Additionally, I found the UI to be a bit frustrating. The card choosing UI is not intuitive at all. Also noticed that the effect list gives you help for all the effects you have...except for your corporation's effect. Not helpful at all for new players such as myself.
