The first colonists arrived on Mars in the year 2037. In the decades after the Mars Base Camp was founded, private exploration companies began working on setting up a self-sustaining colony.
As lead astronaut of one of these companies, you want to be a pioneer in developing the largest, most advanced colony on Mars. At the start you depend heavily on supplies from Earth and you have to travel a lot between the Mars space station and the surface of the planet.
As the colony grows, your dependence on material from Earth will shrink as you build mines, power generators, water extractors, greenhouses, oxygen factories and shelters. Your goal is to become a self-sufficient colony, independent of any Earth organisation.
This calls for a careful balance between water, air, energy and food, the things we need to survive.
A game of On Mars plays out over several rounds, each made up of two phases: the Colonization phase and the Shuttle phase. Depending on your location on the board, you have different actions available. In space you can take blueprints, buy and develop technologies, and take supplies from the warehouse.
When you are on the surface of the planet, you can build buildings with your bots, upgrade those buildings using blueprints, guide scientists and gain new contracts, and explore the surface of the planet with your rover.
In the Shuttle phase, players can travel in orbit between the colony and the space station. To win the game, players must make a substantial contribution to the development of the first colony on Mars.
On Mars is a game of challenging strategy and clever planning, in which players also try to complete missions. The game ends as soon as three missions in total have been completed. The winner is the player who has contributed the most to the development of the first colony on Mars, shown by the Opportunity Points (OP) they have earned.
