Terraforming Mars

Another game that I found I would put into the Settlers of Catan category … a little bit of strategy, a little bit of luck. However Terraforming Mars does it one better … it is almost like a cooperative game but with a “winner” at the end! And instead of DICE (as in Settlers of Catan) there are lots of cards. Each card gives you points or item production or such. It should take about the same amount of time to play as Catan. I also have all the expansions and one of them (Prelude) actually shortens the length of the game (without wrecking it in any way).

Also includes Phase 5 Solar as per Fryxgames note in Venus Next rulebook:
The Solar Phase will be used by other expansions as well.
