Terraforming Mars: Ares Expedition – Foundations

About this expansion

Terraforming Mars: Ares Expedition – Foundations is an expansion for Ares Expedition for 1–6 players, with games taking about 60 minutes. It adds the components and boards needed to bring the game to the table with up to six players.

The expansion includes additional player boards, cubes, and phase cards, expanding the available equipment for larger games. Whether you are adding another player or simply want the extra content, Foundations extends the Ares Expedition experience with new options and a broader playing area.

• Components for games with up to six players
• A larger score track board
• A second board introducing the infrastructure terraforming metric
• New project cards involving infrastructure
• One additional phase card

One of the expansion’s two additional game boards provides a larger score track. The other adds infrastructure as a fourth terraforming metric, creating a new element to account for during play. New project cards specifically involve this metric, connecting the added board to the expansion’s project content.

Foundations also includes a new phase card, giving Ares Expedition another phase option to incorporate into your games. The added cards and components are paired with the expanded player count, making this a focused addition for groups that want to play with as many as six participants.

Released in 2023, Terraforming Mars: Ares Expedition – Foundations combines larger-player support with new scoring space, infrastructure, project cards, and phase content in one expansion.
