Terraforming Mars Utopia & Cimmeria

Take your adventure to the lava plains of the North or the highlands of the South! Each map depicts a new region of Mars, with new placement bonuses, ocean areas, and new sets of milestones and awards. UTOPIA PLANITIA Utopia is a lava plain located northwest of Elysium and belongs to the northern lowlands – it’s also the largest recognized impact crater in the entire Solar System! Mineral-rich lava can be made into fertile soil, motivating the plentiful plant bonuses away from the equator. To the south it borders on the Great Escarpment along the edge of the southern highlands. The thin crust closer to the North Pole could be a suitable spot for geothermal energy plants. Gain 2 extra cards for settling the prestigeous Viking 2 or Beagle 2 landing sites! The Utopia map lacks volcanos and the Noctis region, so the tiles from the cards Noctis City and cards that place tiles on volcanic areas (for example Lava Flows) lose their placement restrictions and may be placed on any nonreserved area.
