Releasing a game called Terraforming Mars so soon after (the recently much-improved) Surviving Mars probably ain’t great for the ol’Google rankings, but in fairness Terraforming got there first. It’s an adaptation of an extremely well-received 2016 cooperative-but-competitive boardgame, retaining all the rules, but removing the need to pollute your home with a thousand pieces of cardboard or the festering presence of other meatbags.
The game’s due later this year, but yesterday a free beta-cum-demo snuck onto Steam, which gives a good sense of what to expect as well as how to play.
