## Description
If you're someone who thinks Mars still needs a little something extra, get ready for the unofficial expansion 'Terra Cimmeria – Big Board Edition'! This gem brings a brand-new map for your Terraforming Mars, expanding the board and adding new milestones and awards to spice up your game. Just imagine: a new special area, 'MSL Curiosity', where you can place a tile and secure a colony for just 5 M€ – quite a steal! The expansion also introduces fresh objectives for milestones, like 'Planetologist' (achieve 5 planet tags), 'Architect' (have 3 city tags), and 'Coastguard' (place 4 tiles adjacent to oceans). For the more ambitious, there's 'Forester' (5 plant production) and 'Investor' (13 M€ production - or 'Fundraiser' in the commercial version). And for those who enjoy aerial challenges, 'Hoverlord' requires 7 floater resources. The awards have also been revamped: 'Electrician' for mastering power tags, 'Founder' for the master of tiles adjacent to special locations, 'Mogul' for accumulating the most production (excluding M€), 'Zoologist' for the collector of animal/microbial resources, and 'Forecaster' for having the most blue/green cards with requirements. It's a fantastic way to give your favorite game a new look, adding more strategy and replayability without breaking the bank, as it's a 'Print & Play' project. Perfect for Terraforming Mars lovers always seeking new ways to conquer the Red Planet!
