You just move the white marker up one space. However, when you reach certain points on the scale, you earn corresponding rewards for your corporation. For instance, when you reach -24\u00b0C and -20\u00b0C it lets you raise your heat production, and at 0\u00b0C it lets you place an ocean tile.<\/p>\n<p>Ocean tiles can only be placed on designated ocean spaces \u2014 these are indicated by the hexagons with the blue outlines on the game board.

Draw 2 Corporation Cards and 10 Project Cards and keep the ones you want to play with. Just like the standard game, each project card you choose to keep in your hand will cost 3 Megacredits. Now, place one player marker on TR \u201c14\u201d which will be marked \u201cSolo\u201d on your game board. Then place one of the generation markers on TR \u201c1.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-361\" src=\"https:\/\/diceglory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/play27.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"488\" srcset=\"https:\/\/diceglory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/play27.jpg 900w, https:\/\/diceglory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/play27-300x163.jpg 300w, https:\/\/diceglory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/play27-768x416.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Next, you\u2019ll add 2 neutral City Tiles and Greenery Tiles to your game board.

This adds in all the corporate cards that you\u2019d normally discard during a base game, and it also means that you start the game with ZERO production values for ALL of your resources. This is a more complicated variant of the game, which is why we don\u2019t recommend it for beginners.<\/p>\n<div class=\"trick\">Another thing that makes the Corporate Era Variant unique is that you can add drafting into your gameplay.<\/div>\n<p>When you choose your four corporate cards, take one and pass the remaining three to the next player on your left. Keep doing this until all players have four cards in their hands and discard the ones that you don\u2019t want to use as standard. This adds more player interaction in the game, as it can help you hinder your opponents from getting their hands on great cards. The only downside is it will slow things down a bit, too.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Schlussfolgerung<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Terraforming Mars is a great game to play with your friends and family.
