Prelude is the third expansion for Terraforming Mars. The expansion will get released at GenCon in August and will hopefully be available in the UK a bit later in September.

Terraforming Mars: Prelude is set before the corporations begin the transformation of Mars depicted in the main game, allowing them to customize their corporations. Each player is dealt four “Prelude” cards from which they select two bonuses to improve their corporation or get a head start on their terraforming operation. In addition, the expansion offers five new corporations for players to play, as well as seven new project cards that focus on the earliest stages of the terraforming process.

Pre-Orders for the expansion will be possible later this week.

Biosphere, the big box game from German publisher DDD Verlag, has arrived.

Artaios, the First Father, had six children with his wife, Branwen, the First Mother. They grew up to be gods and guardians of the biosphere. The siblings loved each other very much. They were strong of build and sharp of mind. Whatever they attempted, they succeeded with ease, and faultlessly. When the young gods had grown to adulthood, Artaois and Branwen bade them each create something to add it to their creation, so that it would enrich the world and populate it. And thus, the gods created six very different types.

Time passed and the creations of the gods multiplied and spread without restraint across the biosphere. And so it came to pass that Artaios and Branwen bade their children bring order to their creation. Whoever would be the first to bring their population into accord with the biological order would be called “Lord of Creation” from thereon.

We have updated our offers section on the website and the first 24 new offers are now online (more to come in the coming days).
