Final hours!

Vastitas Borealis

July 30th - via: kickstarter.com
Yes, it's almost certain. The Agency has approved the plan of suicide expedition to the Martian North Pole.  Many of us have explored the Earthly North Pole, but this here is a much bigger challenge. The expedition itself is going to take a lot of... (Read More)

Underground colony

July 27th - via: kickstarter.com
The Agency, seeing more and more serious damage done by the cosmic radiation, made the decision to build underground habitats, partly using the natural caves. Ironic – highly advanced Mars colonists go back to the caverns like their human... (Read More)

Half of the mission behind you, Astronauts!

July 22nd - via: kickstarter.com
A lot has happened in the last 7 days. Monitors of our terminals reported increased activity of astronauts from numerous colonies, especially in the comments section. Sometimes the staff of the Agency could not believe what they saw, and tried to... (Read More)

3D miniatures

July 18th - via: kickstarter.com
As a proper Martian base, our outpost should have neat buildings. Currently it looks like a camping field where everyone is trying to pitch their tent faster than others, and the poles do not seem to fit one another. After such a long journey first... (Read More)

Summary of the achievements so far.

July 14th - via: kickstarter.com
First, let me tell you it is a great pleasure to work on our new game with you. If I were to pick someone to go to Mars with, I would choose all of you.  And now to the point:   the board will stay language-independent, there will be only icons, no... (Read More)

A meeple's garb!

July 13th - via: kickstarter.com
Many of you have asked if we can keep the wooden markers and not replace them with miniatures.  We appreciate your support and commitment,which is why all of the wooden components of the game will not be removed from the box, and miniatures from the... (Read More)

Mission to Phobos

July 13th - via: kickstarter.com
Who would have thought that the Agency would start executing this agenda so quickly. Nothing seems to go as planned anymore. Other space agencies have joined the competition and each of them wants to send the first man to the moon.  Yes, moon, but... (Read More)

The Dark side of Mars

July 12th - via: kickstarter.com
Nobody anticipated this mission could turn against the Agency and us. Recruiting the ex-cons raised objections of public opinion since the very beginning, but the Agency knew better. The recruitment process was thought through and prepared very well,... (Read More)

Refugees!

July 12th - via: kickstarter.com
Something went wrong in a colony nearby, and administration won't tell us what exactly happened. Now there are rumors all over our colony. One thing is certain: we have unexpected quests, who need to use our technical infrastructure to deal with the... (Read More)

Toys for real cowboys!

July 11th - via: kickstarter.com
