My plays from 2024. Only one con (the first since 2019) and Melissa was OS for 3 months both contribute to the low numbers.
I don’t log on-line plays, so don’t fret BGA buddies!
The #Marsathon shows up well a big contributor to both January and December 😎
Couple of Essen games too thanks to Melissa’s travels. Anything that is at 3 or more would be a recommend. Probably the 2 plays as well.

Last of the new maps. I opened strong on Colonies with one on Luna and Ceres and 3 energy production in Gen 1.
No colony follow up and M€ prod languished in single digits until the penultimate Gen.
Quite a full map tonight, only two empty spots left on Mars.
BIG money game. I finished with 121 M€ production and the excess heat we were holding on to should have been setting off OH&S alarms all over the place!
Generation 2 and Triton is fully colonised. A pity I can’t afford to fly there yet!
Somewhat unusual game for us. Coming up to the end of generation 9, oxygen is at 11% and there is not a single greenery on the board.

An utter carpeting - tight until about gen 12 when @fraser kicked off a massive round and just took over.

Another very swingy game. I was Robinson Industries, @fraser was Terralabs Research. I had some lucky early draws that let me max my discounts & build resource engines (8 cards played in Gen 3!). Very quick - only 12 Gen - & sufficiently uneven that I doubt it was much fun for F.
Won #TerraformingMars on 2023-01-04 with 2 players, winning score: 191 #bgstats Robinson Industries (me) vs Point Luna (@fraser ).
I dominated the board but F had lots of bonuses - inc twice for 14 Jovian noms. I should have ended the game two generations earlier but was fishing through the deck for my own Jovian bonuses.
I’m back to work tomorrow so it’s touch & go from here on.
