A friend bought Terra Forming Mars,which is a super fun game but we had a couple issues withe palyer mats. The ones that come with the game are thin, maybe 80lb cover stock and don’t help keep your resources separated (in case of accident or “user error”). So I am designing some new player mats built of two layers of chipboard sandwiched together so there will be wells to keep things divided up.
That being said I would like to reiterate that Terra Forming Mars is a spectacularly fun game and the production values do not hinder the game, I just really wanted to redesign these.
