Elephants on Mars is a space-themed collaboration game where teams compete to send animals to the newly terraformed Mars.
Each player on a team has a unique role, and must coordinate actions to choose animals, purchase rockets and launch their missions. (No virtual animals were harmed in the making of this game.)
How is Elephants on Mars different?
Game Description
Elephants on Mars is a team game, where players work together to send animals to the newly terraformed Mars. In groups of four, teams will take on the role of Captain, Pilot, Vet and Engineer. Their mission is to send a variety of animals to Mars to terraform it into a biodiverse paradise.
The game will start with a short introduction video explaining the game, and each player will have a video explaining how to play their specific role:
The Captain sends money to each player and is responsible for managing the mission.
The Vet chooses the animal for the mission.
The Pilot purchases a rocket which is the correct size for the animal.
The Engineer buys enough fuel to launch the rocket.
Once the team has an animal, the right sized rocket, and enough fuel, the Captain must launch the mission before time runs out!
The game is played over six missions. Each mission a team has the chance to send one animal to Mars before time runs out. At the end of the game, all teams will see the final results of their combined efforts, and if they were able to achieve their shared goal of transforming Mars from a cold desert world to a biodiverse paradise.
While everyone plays their individual role and chooses their own actions, the game requires teams to plan and coordinate their actions together in order to launch a successful mission, and help humanity see Elephants on Mars.
