Red Planet Rising is a science fiction economic and political megagame for 36 players, split into 12 teams of 3, and set in the ruined husk of Mariner Valley, once Earth’s greatest colony on Mars. Each team consists of a team lead, a resource lead and a map lead. Players will explore the devastated surface of Mars, compete for control of territory, trade resources, form governments, and investigate the mystery of what caused the colony’s collapse.
