Your objective in the Terraforming Committee is either to get a party that benefits you elected as Ruling Party, or to stop someone else getting a party they want elected. Your first use of this action each generation costs nothing. ‘Lobbying’ is the action of paying five MegaCredits to place one of the six delegates in your chosen colour on one of the seats for a party of your choice. A new action is available that works like a standard project, but isn’t considered one. This particular part of the Turmoil expansion is the part we found to be the most complicated when we were playing, but once you get your head around it you’ll find it fairly easy to keep up with. It’s very fun, much better than real politics! You’ll be battling it out with your opponents to try and get the party that most benefits you elected as the ruling party. Each party gives two things if they become the ruling party, an instant single-use bonus and an effect or action that is ongoing while they hold power. In the centre is a fancy-looking white seat for the chairman, and then at the top are the lobby and the reserve areas. Each party has its own area on the new board and these six areas each have a series of seats and a bigger one for the party leader. The expansion comes with a new board that’s set out like a sort of parliament, complete with six different parties that all want to be in power. Don’t worry though, you won’t be sitting there arguing over who becomes the next chairman (hopefully anyway). Terraforming Mars: Turmoil adds a very interesting and unusual mechanic to the game: Politics of a sort. You have ‘Global Turmoil’ and then you have ‘Political Turmoil’, but don’t worry- I promise it’s better than it sounds! Come To Mars! Join The Terraforming Committee! The name of the expansion really says it all, in that it can be split into two major parts. In this review we’re going to break down each of the parts of this expansion and talk about what they are and whether they’re good pieces or not so good. This one doesn’t add any new maps and it doesn’t add many new projects or corporations(*) either, but it does add two whole new elements to the game and a smattering of smaller additions and changes too. The base game itself is complicated enough as it is, but what if you added in an expansion (or several)? Terraforming Mars: Turmoil, the fifth and final expansion for the game, is rated as an ‘Expert Expansion’ for a reason: it’s very complex when you jump in for the first time.
