Terraforming Mars: Utopia & Cimmeria. MALDITO GAMES

Continue your adventure in the lava plains of the north or the mountain ranges of the south! Each map represents a new region of Mars, with different placement bonuses, ocean areas, and new milestones and rewards.

UTOPIA PLANITIA

Utopia is a lava plain located northwest of Elysium and belongs to the northern lowlands. It is also the largest recognized impact crater in the entire solar system! The mineral-rich lava can be converted into fertile soil, indicated by abundant plant bonuses away from the equator. To the south, it borders the Great Escarpment along the edge of the highlands. The thin crust near the North Pole could be a good location for geothermal energy reactors. Gain 2 cards for colonizing the prestigious landing sites of Viking 2 or Beagle 2! The Utopia map has no volcanoes or the Noctis region, so tiles indicated on the Noctis City cards and volcanic area tiles (e.g., Lava Rivers) lose their placement restrictions and can be placed on any unreserved area.

TERRA CIMMERIA

Terra Cimmeria is a densely cratered mountainous region in Mars’ southern hemisphere, halfway to the South Pole, east of the Hellas basin. This is the best place on the planet to find steel and titanium! The whole region shows signs of shorelines and erosion from liquid water that once flowed abundantly through the southern highlands. Currently, suitable areas to form oceans are along the edges of this region. Placing a tile where the Curiosity rover explored around Gale Crater allows you to place 1 colony for 5 M€ (ignore this if not playing with Colonies). The Cimmeria map has no Noctis region, so you can place the Noctis City anywhere. However, it does have 4 volcanic areas where you can place tiles like Lava Rivers: Albor Tholus, Tyrrhenus Mons, Hadriacus Mons, and Apollinaris Mons.
