What you do in a play session

Hey there, board game enthusiasts! If you're a fan of Terraforming Mars and looking to spice up your games, get ready for the Turmoil Promos! This little gem offers a pack of promotional cards originally released with the Turmoil Kickstarter, but now available individually. It includes 12 new project cards, 3 brand-new corporations, and 5 global events designed to shake up the Martian landscape. The new additions range from mining projects and high-tech labs to corporations with unique abilities and game-changing events like health problems or colony booms. The cool part is that these promos add more variety and strategic options, whether you're just starting your terraforming journey or are a seasoned veteran seeking fresh challenges. Some cards, particularly the global events, are designed to integrate with the Venus Next and Colonies expansions, giving an extra boost if you already own those beauties. The complexity is similar to the base game, so don't be intimidated, but be prepared for more tough decisions and interesting interactions. It's a neat way to upgrade your Terraforming Mars experience without overly complicating the rules. If you enjoy card play, building your engine, and throwing a little friendly sabotage your opponents' way, this pack is for you!
