unlabelledView post →I like the Terraforming Mars board game but it always seems that I go for a corporation that does X, and then get cards that exclusively cater to every other letter of the alphabet. I'm like "I need solutions to generate power" and my entire science team are "Hey I just invented a tardigrade."
unlabelledView post →So yesterday tried Harmonies again--highly recommended for a quick game good for 2-4--and tackled a long game of Terraforming Mars, which I had not tried. As good as its reputation.
unlabelledView post →Still thinking about a major hobbyist game like Terraforming Mars using AI art for their new release. It just devalues the whole industry. Here we are trying to make art and they're just like "Gobble this up, piggies. Eat your slop."
unlabelledView post →Remarkable how quietly everyone in this industry excuses Terraforming Mars. Even in offline spaces, people get very uncomfortable if anyone brings up the horrible things people behind this game have said.
unlabelledView post →Tonight I won at the board game Terraforming Mars. This doesn’t happen very often, but I still have a better success rate at my virtual attempts than the 0% chance Space X and their god-king will have of their attempts at the real thing. Anyway, it’s a good game that I have never seen explode.
unlabelledView post →First time I played DAYBREAK (by the incomparable Matt Leacock and promising newcomer Matteo Menapace) I finished with “this is the game I wanted Terraforming Mars to be” It’s fantastic, feels amazing to win, fosters values camaraderie like no coop board game I’ve seen And made by good people
unlabelledView post →I have a policy where I don’t talk badly about other published games It’s a good policy and I stand by it Terraforming Mars is a shit game by shit people Policy intact
unlabelledView post →A teenager (17?) is navigating the footpath with admirable swagger. He's got the sideways baseball cap. The low-slung jeans. The neatly ironed 2Pac T-shirt and a clank of silver chains. He veers into a toy shop and heads for the board game section. Terraforming Mars is where it's at. (4)
unlabelledView post →Played another recent euro darling today: 2024's SETI. Very similar in concept and theme to Terraforming Mars (and complexity, but only compared to Mars with several expansions). 10/10 on aesthetics, I love the spinning solar system board.
unlabelledView post →Daybreak is a phenomenal game, I can’t recommend it enough!!! I also just love cooperative games. Fun fact: Terraforming Mars is supposed to model capitalist competitive space race, but if you discard the aggressive stuff & play coop you terraform Mars better & faster & make more helpful techs. 🤔
unlabelledView post →I'm sad to find out that Fryx Games is run by transphobic chuds. They made Terraforming Mars, but I guess I'm just not gonna play that game and will never buy anything by Fryx games ever again. Damn shame.
unlabelledView post →Absolutely not surprised that Terraforming Mars is now using AI (stands for "art infringment) software to create their game. Always been the company and the brand that was on the bleeding edge of the zeitgeist.
unlabelledView post →Given my previous reskeet I figured I should put up the TERRAFORMING MARS RPG Backerkit link again. Fun fact: there's a secret stretch goal called "Ken gets a raise" so if you're on the bubble, Warren would appreciate your support. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/s...
unlabelledView post →The Terraforming Mars RPG backerkit page now includes a QuickStart guide, including a scenario by me that shows the possibilities of the design space we’re heading towards… https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/shadowlands-games/terraforming-mars-ttrpg?ref=bk-social-pledge-button
unlabelledView post →Seventeenth game of 2026 is "Terraforming Mars: Hellas" with @kbowenwriter.bsky.social who took all three milestones for the win - also some pretty heavy-duty terraforming on temperature and oceans.
unlabelledView post →What upsets me most about Terraforming Mars using AI art is that it's an established game with millions sold (or at least a lot). They've made money, this isn't some struggling indie trying to afford to make a first game look better. They could afford any artist, they just chose to save a few quid
unlabelledView post →Fourteen in attendance over the evening at Glasgow Phoenix. Traitor's Toll, Terraforming Mars, Chain of Command 2 and my own hosted game of Xenos Rampant: Vietnam. Which I failed to take pics of!
unlabelledView post →Soloing Terraforming Mars this evening. #boardgames
unlabelledView post →Fifteen in attendance at Glasgow Phoenix tonight. 300, Terraforming Mars boardgames. ECW variant of Bataille Empire, Chain of Command, Mordheim(!) and the prettiest game - mine of course - Vietnam using of all things Xenos Rampant. After two attempts, it is working shockingly well.
unlabelledView post →Summer staycation is now underway ❤️ While hubby is still at work, I am playing solo and continuing to work my way through all the Corporation cards in Terraforming Mars. Next up is the Mining Guild. #boardgames
unlabelledView post →I spent some time this new year season playing the mobile app of Terraforming Mars. I have always struggled with this game but thoroughly enjoyed it. I decided to play through some games of Ares Expedition. I had never beaten the base solo game, until today. Finally! #boardgames
unlabelledView post →Mostly Terraforming Mars and Go (an old Chinese game).
unlabelledView post →Keeping the board game theme of my last post going. Here's some custom art I was commissioned to make for some board games. These are from 2021, but still really like them Games are Castle of Burgundy, Catan, Terra Mystica and Terraforming Mars. More info in the alt text
unlabelledView post →Just had a game of Terraforming Mars end with scores of 100, 98, and 91. Holy hell, I played my heart out and came in solid last lol. I've never played a game that scored this high. 😅
unlabelledView post →Laughing because I've spent a chunk of the last few weeks turning this list into game mechanics in Terraforming Mars.
unlabelledView post →Working my way through some games I haven’t played in a while. Next up is Terraforming Mars The Dice Game. I was gifted this early in my gaming adventures and haven’t played it since May. #boardgames
unlabelledView post →Played "Terraforming Mars: The Dice Game" by @strongholdgames.bsky.social with @kbowenwriter.bsky.social - we were both terrafoming more aggressively this session than we usually do.
unlabelledView post →It is always fun to have @mytholder.bsky.social run a game for you. Terraforming Mars Rpg was fun, intresting and a bit stressful. #Dagdacon #spéirgorm #TTRPGs

unlabelledView post →Just lost a two-player Terraforming Mars game by one point. The deciding factor? The search for extraterrestrial life *finally* paid off for my wife. After half a dozen games and countless dollars, those tiny little microbes showed up at last! #boardgames #TerraformingMars
unlabelledView post →Forty-second (42nd) game of 2026 is "Terraforming Mars: Colonies" by @strongholdgames.bsky.social with @kbowenwriter.bsky.social - our first play with this expansion, and I think we really like it.

unlabelledView post →217th game of 2026 is "Terraforming Mars: Ares Project" by @strongholdgames.bsky.social with @kbowenwriter.bsky.social - we really like this action-following take on the OG.
unlabelledView post →The Automa expansion for the Terraforming Mars #boardgames is excellent… and plays you (and the board) in ways that feel “real”. Here’s the end of my loss last night - Terra Cimmeria map with Prelude & Venus Next.
unlabelledView post →A little Terraforming Mars with dice solo this evening. #boardgames #boardgamesky #sologaming
unlabelledView post →My daughters took me to a board game cafe today, and we played Terraforming Mars - all four of us had a great time with the game. Definitely one we will try to pick up in the future!
unlabelledView post →🚨 Programming alert: Terraforming Mars is now in beta on Board Game Arena 🚨 👀
unlabelledView post →Terraforming Mars ngl I'm not too thrilled about roleplaying as CEOs fighting over Mars in big 2026. It's a very good game though. I can see why it's high up on those lists. There's entire strats/mechanics I couldn't even focus on at my 1st go at it #boardgames
unlabelledView post →Terraforming Mars with for players on the big map! No Turmoil expansion. #boardgame #boardgames #terraformingmars
unlabelledView post →I've just played Terraforming Mars for the first time and we've turned Mars into a forest planet! 😅 #boardgames
unlabelledView post →Oooh look. A new map board for Terraforming Mars. Lots of options for Steel and Titanium. Game closely matched for first 8-9 Generations until Raphael snowballed and I did not, so we called it after 11. Always fun to experiment with different engines. #boardgames #TerraformingMars
unlabelledView post →Terraforming Mars the Dice Game arrived! Really looking forward to playing it. Hopefully it’s the version of TM that we like. The original wasn’t quite right for us.
unlabelledView post →#Unboxing Terraforming Mars Ares Expedition from @strongholdgames.bsky.social This is what you get when Terraforming Mars and Race for the Galaxy have a baby. I've really enjoyed every play of this game since opening it. Heck I may just play it today. youtu.be/rMoVb48c_lQ

unlabelledView post →Is Cascadia the best board game in the world? It has beaten Terraforming Mars, 7 Wonders, and everything else put in front of it to reach the final of the World Cup of #BoardGames 2026. It came in as seed 25.
unlabelledView post →Forever grateful I never decided to pick up Terraforming Mars during my excessive game-buying phase. It's always looked ugly, but far more hideous the more you learn. Transphobic/racist devs and use of AI art, it can all get in the bin.
unlabelledView post →Terraforming Mars is a board game, not a video game, but yes.
unlabelledView post →Wild lack of greenery through the first eight generations in the Terraforming Mars tournament game. Then trees showed up everywhere. #PAXU

unlabelledView post →233rd game of 2026 was "Terraforming Mars: Colonies" by @strongholdgames.bsky.social with @kbowenwriter.bsky.social who terraformed the ever-lovin' red crap out of Mars with a final score (going from memory) of 116 to my 93.
