Terraforming Mars is in alpha

[Detriment]

any news on if it includes any expansions(like the most important one Prelude?)

You message is by far the most relevant on this forum, among the hundreds of "please make me an alpha tester" messages
Can an actual alpha tester reply ?

If there should be only one expansion available on BGA, it should be Prelude.
Hope it will not be a Wingspan scenario : base version only on BGA, expansions on more expensive apps.

Unfortunately I read in the group that it's just the base game

It's certainly a game that excels with Prelude but if its a "just base or not at all" we'll begrudgingly take the base as the Steam app is unplayable and the "secret" web version is great if you are great at the game and can go fast as there's significantly less interest in slow/turn based so it's tough to catch up.

May not be a popular thought around here but charging more for an "expansion" tier above the premium tier would be good with me.

It's usually more a rights issue and not financial

SMH, people want to be testers but can't be bothered to read a thread...

[Bednarro]

That may be a bit eager question but when could we expect open alpha (beta?) to be released?

There's two pinned posts explaining the "alpha testers".

But here's the link.
