The event is organized for players who are familiar with the game and is not an introductory tournament. With this we try to reduce our biggest challenge 'time'.

​

Maximum 4 players per game. In a situation of unequal number of applicatants, tables of 3 are formed.

​

​All participants play three full games. Points are earned based on the final result of each game.

The winner of each game is awarded 5 points, second player earns 3 points, third player earns 2 point and the fourth player receives 1 point.

Tiebreakers in overall ranking are decided by tiebreakers. The first tiebreaker depends on the opponents you played. It adds up all points scored by all your opponents during all rounds. The second tiebreaker is the average amount of victorypoints you scored on average during each generation. This is calculated by adding up all your victorypoints, divided by the amount of generations you played. 

We give away big prizes every year! Including special 'Mars Trophies', promocards and a variety of other games! The prizes will be announced in the run-up to the tournament.

We use the official rules of the game, but make some adjustments for the duration of the game. The most important rules and/or adjustments are set out below.

​

1) The base game is played with prelude. Each round will be played on a different map*:
Round 1: Tharsis
Round 2: Elysium
Round 3: Hellas

*If there are not enough expansion maps, some tables will be played on tharsis all 3 rounds. 

2) Each player starts with 0 production. 

3) We use Corporate Era cards.

​

4) Drafting is only applied in the 'Research Phase'. This means that the first 10 project cards will NOT be drafted.

​

5) After 2.5 hours of playing time, a final signal sounds. The generation continues until the starting player (he/she doesn't get a turn anymore) of that generation. Then the game ends and the final count starts, including production and greenery placement.

​

6) In case of a tie, the player with the most money wins (after the last production round has taken place). If there is still a tie after this, money production is considered. In the rare event of a permanent tie, the highest production of steel, titanium, plant, energy or heat is considered in order.

7) There will be a 'judge' who can be consulted. His ruling will be final.
