    Two rounds of Terraforming Mars with my wife over the weekend. Saturday just with the Prelude extension and Sunday we added the Turmoil extension.

    We have played it at friends places a couple of times, but with months in-between. But finally we bought it ourselves.

    Great game, but we really should play it more often.

      Dune: Imperium is sadly one of the unplayed games in my collection. Would you recommend it with 2 players?

        even though i have not played it with 2, i am certain that is works well with two since i play it solo a lot and that is similar. The game works by emulating the missing players to have 3 using the house haggal deck (i use the dire wolf app, since i find it easier). So a 2 Player game is a 3 player game with 1 automated opponent.

      Dune Imperium is such a fantastic game, have you played with the expansions? Rise Of Ix is incredible

        Not yet, i‘ll try to keep my patience until the base game becomes boring, and to me immorality sounds more interesting than ix, but i guess i‘ll have both someday

    I played 3P Ares Expedition with the new expansion that adds milestones into the game. I liked that it gave you something to compete with other players over but sadly none of my cards really went together at all and I got kinda destroyed.

    I’ve also gotten my wife to play some Magic: the Gathering with me after the release of the new Lord of the Rings set. She loves the flavor.

      How does Ares compare to the normal terraforming mars? I only ever played the original.

        Its more of a solitaire thing. Plays very different but I like that it gives the same tableau building feel but way faster. I would have said when I first got it that I wouldn’t go back to playing original TM, but lately I would just say it depends how competitive you want to be.
