Engine-Building Game Terraforming Mars Launches the New Colonies DLC

Terraforming Mars, the official adaptation of Jacob Fryxelius’ board game, has dropped a new Colonies DLC. This digital version was first launched on mobile in 2019. The new expansion takes you away from Mars and toward the wider solar system.

Terraforming Mars: Colonies DLC is massive

Colonies expands the scope of each match by introducing off-world development through a new colony system and an active merchant fleet. Instead of focusing entirely on the red planet, you can now establish settlements on distant locations.

You can then develop these settlements over time and trade with them for valuable resources and advantages. The addition of interplanetary trade changes how turns unfold. It might make you reconsider long-term plans rather than relying on familiar strategies.

The Colonies DLC adds a large set of new tools to Terraforming Mars. There are 49 new Project cards that open up additional ways to invest in trade fleets or reshape established approaches. You’ll also see 5 new Corporation cards named Aridor, Arklight, Polyphemos, Poseidon and Storm Craft.

On top of that, 11 Colonies are included, all offering different bonuses. Terraforming Mars: Colonies is now available on Android at $3.99. Head over to the Google Play Store to get it. It’s also out on iOS and PC through Steam, Epic, GOG and Humble.

In Terraforming Mars, you lead corporations and transform Mars. You do so by managing resources, launching large-scale construction projects, placing cities, forests and oceans, and competing for milestones and awards.

The game supports solo play against AI as well as local or online multiplayer for up to 5 players. It offers exclusive content like the Age of Corporations with extra cards, two additional corporations, and a stronger emphasis on economics and technology.
