On Friday at UK Games Expo, I got to share some news I've been excited about for a while – one of my best designs, Mars Rover, is coming out from Spiral Galaxy Games in 2018.
It's a wonderful strategy game where players are rival scientists controlling a rover on Mars. It's competitive, where each scientist is trying to be the most influential one at the end of the mission, but you share control of the only piece that moves around the board - the Rover. Sometimes, you'll work together to find interesting landmarks or obtain valuable samples, and sometimes you'll stab each other in the back like the vicious academic rivals you are.

We're doing some additional content development on Mars Rover as we move forward to secure some partnerships with space agencies – so hopefully, we'll be announcing mission content from real missions to mars. Each mission pack comes with new samples, research cards, and a scale model rover miniature.
Really excited about this title and hopefully going to have tons of cool updates as we get new stuff planned. Should be kickstarter midway through 2018, delivery late 2018.
Hi Adam – nice to meet you, albeit briefly. Hope you were able to get some good feedback on your game! As you could have guessed by my posts here, – I'm a big fan of the playtest zone.
@SSM – just wait for my "they faked the moon landing" expansion (just kidding...probably...)
