Board Game Arena

+123

1. Other boards are essential
2. Venus is essential for some balance of cards/factions on certain maps
3. Prologues are really needed in the arena

Voted for the maps (for now). No new rules, just a different layout, so pretty simple thing to add. Since Prelude is already in Beta, that's kinda all I need (again, for now). Would be nice to add all those promo cards they released more recently, though.

Thanks for this thread, I upvoted some of the suggestions. I love Preludes, I don't ever want to play without them. I would love the ability to draft them; some are MUCH much better than others.

Hi guys, any updates regarding the addition of new expansions to Terraforming Mars? Venus / Colonies / Turmoil / promo cards / Prelude 2? When can we expect them (if)?

All the expansions are interesting and it's good to see that development is continuing with maps like Vastitas Borealis currently in Alpha.

Note that that these maps include features from expansions like Turmoil such as placement bonuses of delegates in the parliament. It would be good to flesh these out with the relevant expansions so that the full functionality is completed.

What makes the maps especially interesting is not so much the different terrain but the different Milestones and Awards. To keep the game fresh, the expansion that should be given a high priority is the Milestones & Awards tiles which were introduced in the Prelude 2 expansion.

Even so, the BGA implementation is currently quite awesome, especially when compared with the Android/ioS apps. For example, the Whatever button is brilliant -- an inspired addition. Kudos!

I couldn't agree more.

The release of the Prelude and now the additional maps were good signs. At least it gave hope that the developer of the Steam/Android/iOS version doesn't have exclusive rights and that TM won't share the fate of other great games in the BGG Top, which are available on BGA but only in their vanilla versions, like Viticulture (39) or Blood Rage (54). There's a similar issue with expansions for 7 Wonders (95), though apparently, it's not a licensing problem.

I hope that TM, like Ark Nova, will eventually include all expansions, including Automa. Awards and Milestones are a must, as someone who enjoys competitive play quickly grows tired of the same awards over and over on the Tharsis map.

So, well – here's hoping that once they're done adding maps, we'll at least get Colonies.

+1 to expansions. <3 Colonies please.

+1 we really need more expansions.
