Terraforming Mars - Amazonis & Vastitas (Exp) (English)

Contains 2 fan-developed game boards for Terraforming Mars that are particularly suitable for many players, namely 4 or 5.

Explore the ancient sea in Vastitas Borealis, or play on the larger Amazonis map with longer global parameters! Each map depicts a new region of Mars, with new placement bonuses, sea areas, and new sets of milestones and awards.

AMAZONIS PLANITIA
This map takes its name from the lava plains west of the mighty Olympus Mons. This area is characterized by energy bonuses and is extremely flat and smooth compared to the mountains and craters that cover much of Mars. This larger map has longer global parameters for a better experience for 4-5 players. Or perhaps you just want more space to settle and more terraforming for yourself. Here you will also find wild resource bonuses that give you any standard resource. Delegate bonuses allow you to place delegates for free from the reserve pool (ignore if you are not playing with Turmoil). Noctis City can be placed without restriction, and volcanic areas are highlighted: Olympus Mons, Ascreaus Mons, Pavonis Mons, Arsia Mons, and Hecates Tholus.
NOTE: Includes 2 extra ocean tiles, 13 cities/green areas, 1 standard project tile, and 1 optional Venus tile with a longer Venus track.

Milestones:

• TERRAN – 5 earth tags.
• LANDSHAPER – 1 green tile, 1 special tile, and 1 city tile (they do not need to be adjacent).
• MERCHANT – 3 of each standard resource.
• SPONSOR – 3 cards in play that cost 20 M€ or more.
• LOBBYIST – all 7 delegates in play (no delegate in the Lobby or Reserve).

Awards:

• Collector – most types of resources, both on the player's board and cards (e.g., different types of microbes only count as 1 type of resource).
• Innovator – most played cards (event cards count too!).
• Constructor – most colonies and city tiles.
• Manufacturer – most steel and heat productions combined.
• Physicist – most science and space tags.

VASTITAS BOREALIS
Vastitas Borealis is a lowland that covers a large part of Mars' northern hemisphere. This was once a vast ocean! The map centers around the North Pole, which mainly consists of water ice. On top of that is a layer of frozen carbon dioxide, which is released when you place a tile there. This increases the temperature by one step but costs you 4 M€. The earliest landing sites on Mars, Viking 1 and Viking 2, allow you to place a delegate for free from the reserve pool (ignore if you are not playing with Turmoil). The Vastitas map does not have the Noctis region, so Noctis City can be placed without restriction. However, it has four volcanic areas where tiles like Lava Flows can be placed: Hecates Tholus, Elysium Mons, Alba Mons, and Uranius Tholus.

Milestones:

• AGRONOMIST – 4 plant tags.
• ENGINEER – 10 energy and heat production combined.
• SPACEFARER – 4 space tags.
• GEOLOGIST – 3 tiles on or adjacent to volcanic areas (any tile covering a volcanic area can be marked with a gold cube until this milestone has been claimed).
• FARMER – 5 animal and microbe resources combined.

Awards:

• Traveller – most Jovian and earth tags.
• Landscaper – most connected tiles (each player counts their largest group of tiles).
• Highlander – most tiles that are not adjacent to the sea.
• Promoter – most event cards played.
• Blacksmith – highest production of steel and titanium combined.
