Hellas & Elysium – Explore New Sites on Mars 🗺️🔴

Explore new sites and strategies in Terraforming Mars. Hellas & Elysium, designed by Jacob Fryxelius and released in 2017, is an expansion for the Terraforming Mars base game, for 1–5 players aged 12+, with games of about 90–120 minutes.

Either of the two new game boards can be used instead of the ordinary board. Each depicts a new region of Mars, with new placement bonuses, ocean areas and brand new sets of milestones and awards. Hellas shows the south pole and the great Hellas sea, all the way up to the equator, so the plant bonuses lie at the top of the map. It features two new placement bonuses: heat, found in the Hellas sea because of the thin Martian crust, and a spot at the south pole where you pay 6 megacredits to place a tile but also get an ocean tile, with its terraform rating, to place on any available ocean area. Hellas has no volcanoes and no Noctis region, so Noctis City and Lava Flows can be placed on any non-ocean area. Elysium shows the region west of Tharsis, from Olympus Mons, the highest mountain in the solar system, to Elysium Mons, with the great northern lowlands of Vastitas Borealis. It has four volcanic sites for Lava Flows. Please note: the base game is required.
