Read full descriptionHide full description
The Terraforming Mars board game comes with player boards that are very basic and can cause confusion and errors when playing the game. This app replaces a players board and allows all production, resource and global parameters to be managed. In a game individual players can choose if they want to use the original player board or replace it with this app. This is an unofficial app and is not associated with FryxGames, the creator of Terraforming Mars board game. Benefits of using this app: * Automatic production between generations * Standard projects update global stats * Conversion rate of steel and titanium resources * Payment for cards with Megacredit, steel, titanium or heat (Helion company) * History of player actions * Easily buy cards * Help with remembering whose turn it is * Help with remembering to reset action cards between generations * Step by step count of points in end of the game * Previous games final score kept * Graphs showing global and production parameters change over time * Built in help to explain features * Count tags on cards
