## Overview

Terraforming Mars: Prelude 2 is a strategic board game expansion by Stronghold Games that requires the base game and Prelude expansion. It introduces 25 Prelude cards, 24 project cards, and 5 corporations, expanding gameplay to Venus, colonies, and political turmoil. Suitable for 1-5 players aged 14+, it offers 90-120+ minutes of immersive, multi-expansion compatible gameplay that deepens strategic complexity and replay value.

## Description

Product Description In Prelude 2 you are thrown right into the action, not only on Mars, but on Venus and the colonies as well, and the political arena is set for turmoil as you jumpstart your game. With actions and effects on your Preludes, Mars will never be the same again! In Prelude 2, most of the cards are specifically connected to other expansions of Terraforming Mars (Venus Next, Colonies, Turmoil). The 4 corporations and 13 of the Prelude cards are playable without any of these expansions though. This is an expansion to Terraforming Mars – it requires both the base game and Prelude to play. Directions 1. Ensure you have both the base game Terraforming Mars and Prelude expansion to play this expansion. 2. Shuffle the 25 Prelude cards and place them face down near the game board. 3. Shuffle the 24 Project cards and place them face down near the game board. 4. Choose one of the 5 corporations and place its card near the game board. 5. Follow the rules sheet to start and play the game.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ To much for too little
*by A***N on 6 March 2026*

Product ok, Firaxis continue to charge way too much

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ For me it's an essential add on now.
*by C***N on 4 February 2026*

Love terraforming mars. Already had prelude and this makes a lovely edition for extending replay value.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Adds a little more variety to game start. You will need Prelude 1, Terraforming Mars base game.
*by M***D on 23 October 2025*

Additional cards for all previous expansions, so how many of those you already use will ultimately decide on the factor on how you value this box. You definitely need prelude 1 to use this as intended, and I would say minimum of 1 expansion like Venus Next. Otherwise you may feel not enough use.
