About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey there, board game enthusiasts! Ready for an interplanetary journey with a crazy maze twist? Martian Coasters: 5th Martian Coaster is a super cool promotional expansion that boosts the base game Martian Coasters, allowing up to five players to venture together. Imagine a spatial puzzle that changes every round!
To play, you'll need the Treehouse set, the Martian Coasters kit (which are, literally, drink coasters with colorful 3x3 mazes printed on them), and a standard six-sided die. The idea is to arrange the coasters in a square, each with a unique maze. The pieces, which are the Looney pyramids, are positioned on different-colored coasters. Your goal? Simple: guide your colored pieces through the maze printed on your coaster to the central square, which is your final objective.
But don't be fooled, it's not just a walk in the park! The game cleverly uses the Treehouse die, allowing players to rotate and move the coasters. This means the maze is constantly changing, forcing you to think fast and adapt. It's a continuous challenge of grid movement and dice rolling that will test your spatial planning skills. If you enjoy light games with a touch of luck and lots of interaction, this expansion is a perfect treat to enhance your Martian Coasters sessions!
