Terraforming Mars: Hellas & Elysium Expansion Terraforming Mars: Hellas & Elysium, the first expansion for Terraforming Mars, consists of a double-sided game board presenting two new areas of Mars.  Each of these maps consists of new sets of milestones and awards with relevance for that particular map. Place three tiles around the south pole to be a Polar Explorer, for example, or race to have the most estates beside water on Elysium! Elysium takes players almost to the opposite side of Mars’ equator, with vast lowlands for oceans in the north and a dry, mineral-rich south. Place a tile on Olympus Mons, the highest peak in the solar system, to gain three free cards! Milestones: Diversifier: requires 8 different tags in play Tactician: requires 5 requirement cards in play Polar Explorer: requires 3 titles on the 2 bottom rows Energizer: requires 6 energy production Rim Settler: requires 3 Jovian tags Hellas , the southern wild, includes Mars’ south pole and the enormous seven-hex Hellas crater that just begs to become a giant lake. Building around the pole gives you new placement bonuses in the form of heat and possibly even water. Milestones: Generalist: requires you to increase all 6 productions by at least 1 step Specialist: requires 10 in production of any resource Ecologist: requires 4 bio tags Tycoon: requires 15 project cards in play Legend: requires 5 played events

Probably the best expansion, tied with Preludes. Easy to use, as it's "just" new maps that don't add more gameplay mechanics, but this adds a lot of diversity! Having new tile placement bonuses and a different layout makes it almost feel like a new game, even in solo, and the new milestones and awards change the focus and strategies in multipayer. Buy this if you have been playing Terraforming Mars for a while and are looking to add more diversity to your games!
