Terraforming Mars, the popular board game about transforming Mars into a corporate-controlled planet suitable for habitation, is becoming a TTRPG. Shadowlands Games has launched a BackerKit crowdfunding campaign for Terraforming Mars: The Board Game. The game tackles the colonization and transforming of Mars over the course of multiple individual projects, generations (marking the time that players as a particular set of player characters) and overall ages in Mars’ history. The game uses the Estirpe system, which is a dice pool system where rolling multiple successes (a 5+ is one success, a 6 counts as two successes) results in the creation of advantage points, a resource that can be spent to use additional effects. The game was designed by Kenneth Hite and Gareth Ryder-Hanrahan.
