New Corporations

Two new corporations join the ongoing work to enhance life on Mars:

Astrodrill:

Focusing on the all-new mechanic asteroid resources, they are a unique addition to the game that will open up fresh tactical options for you to explore.

Pharmacy Union:

This corporation introduces yet another new and unique mechanic, “disease”. This adds a layer of challenge and strategy to tempt even the most expert players.

Cards: 18 New, 3 Revamped

We’ve added 18 new cards focusing on asteroids and enhancing combo opportunities with other projects to enhance your play. These cards work well with both new corporations included in this pack. There are also three revamped cards, which were improved to bring them up to date with newer mechanics and strategies: Deimos Down, Great Dam, and Magnetic Field Generators.
