What this is
Launch their rockets, sabotage the competition as they vie to control Mars. Players collect resources (worth points) three times during the game, and they each have a secret mission card that might grant them additional points at game's end. Players have ten rounds to send their astronauts into space, occupy the planet's most resource-rich zones, and harvest as much celerium, sylvanite, and ice as possible.
