The next frontier of human endeavour!

The first settlers arrived on Mars in 2037. In the decades after Mars Base Camp was established, private exploration companies began working toward the creation of a self-sustaining colony.

As the chief astronaut of one of these enterprises, you aim to become a pioneer in developing the biggest and most advanced colony on Mars. At first, you depend heavily on supplies from Earth and travel frequently between the Mars Space Station and the planet’s surface. As the colony expands, your reliance on materials from Earth decreases. You construct mines, power generators, water extractors, greenhouses, oxygen factories, and shelters.

Your goal is to create a self-sufficient colony, independent of any terrestrial organization. To succeed, you must carefully balance the needs for water, air, power, and food—the essentials for survival.

On Mars from Eagle-Gryphon Games is played over several rounds. While in orbit, you can acquire blueprints, buy and develop technologies, and take supplies from the Warehouse. On the planet’s surface, you can use your bots to construct buildings, upgrade them with blueprints, lead scientists, acquire new contracts, and explore the Martian surface with your rover.

During the Shuttle Phase, players can travel between the colony and the Space Station in orbit. To win the game, you must make a significant contribution to the development of the first colony on Mars.
