Terraforming Mars: Big Box

Gives you the best playing material possible for one of the best games exist.

It's not an expansion. It's a large box of mediocre miniatures.

Lame, so incredibly lame, waste of money. Adds nothing to the game. Nonexistent unpacking instructions. Much more difficult to play then the regular game. Leave the tiles in the bottom of the box.

The cheapest big box in terms of quality that I have ever seen.

I'd originally rated this as a 7 based on my first few games. But this is better than that IF you have some experience and you have Prelude.

You need the experience to know that you can't just spend the whole game enchanted with a card you can't play and to figure out which tags might be a bit of a bear to get to (science or Jovian). But Prelude gives you a kick in the pants and can help you set off on a direction. The jumpstart makes the game so much more interesting.

So all in I'm upgrading this to a 9.
