Terraforming Mars: Hellas & Elysium, the first expansion for Terraforming Mars, consists of a double-sided game board presenting two new areas of Mars:
• Elysium takes players almost to the opposite side
of Mars’ equator, with vast lowlands for oceans in the north and a dry,
mineral-rich south. Place a tile on Olympus Mons, the highest peak in
the solar system, to gain three free cards!
• Hellas, the southern wild, includes Mars’ south
pole and the enormous seven-hex Hellas crater that just begs to become a
giant lake. Building around the pole gives you new placement bonuses in
the form of heat and possibly even water.
Each of these maps consists of new sets of milestones and awards with
relevance for that particular map. Place three tiles around the south
pole to be a Polar Explorer, for example, or race to have the most
estates beside water on Elysium!
