In the beginning, you will be dependent on supplies from Earth and will have to travel often between the Mars Space Station and the planet’s surface. As the colony expands over time, you will shift your activities to construct mines, power generators, water extractors, greenhouses, oxygen factories, and shelters. Your goal is to develop a self-sustaining colony independent of any terrestrial organization. This will require understanding the importance of water, air, power, and food — the necessities for survival.

Do you dare take part in humankind’s biggest challenge?

On Mars is played over several rounds, each consisting of two phases – the Colonization Phase ​and the Shuttle Phase​.

During the Colonization Phase, each player takes a turn during which they take actions. The available actions depend on the side of the board they are on. If you are in orbit, you can take blueprints, buy and develop technologies, and take supplies from the Warehouse. If you are on the surface of the planet, you can construct buildings with your bots, upgrade these buildings using blueprints, take scientists and new contracts, welcome new ships, and explore the planet’s surface with your rover. In the Shuttle Phase, players may travel between the colony and the Space Station in orbit.

All buildings on Mars have a dependency on each other and some are required for the colony to grow. Building shelters for Colonists to live in requires oxygen; generating oxygen requires plants; growing plants requires water; extracting water from ice requires power; generating power requires mining minerals; and mining minerals requires Colonists. Upgrading the colony’s ability to provide each of these resources is vital. As the colony grows, more shelters are needed so that the Colonists can survive the inhospitable conditions on Mars.

During the game, players are also trying to complete missions. Once a total of three missions have been completed, the game ends. To win the game, players must contribute to the development of the first colony on Mars. This is represented during the game by players gaining Opportunity Points (OP). The player with the most OP at the end of the game is declared the winner.

– If you don’t own the base game: you can play The Council solo or in pair (competitively, with the Overlord module).
– If you own the base game: you can play The Council solo (with a much greater variety of cards), cooperatively (with two or three players), or competitively (with two, three or four players, thanks to the Overlord module).

In The Council, play as an adventurer who arrives in a doomed city, lost in the hands of a power-crazed regent, and his council who orchestrates dark manipulations in the shadows.

Wander the dark, randomly-generated alleyways, card after card, encounter ever more terrifying encounters, manage your resources and upgrade your skills by gaining levels to meet the greatest challenge of all: defeating the King’s Remains!

All Council content is compatible with the Mini Rogue base game.

The game also includes a campaign, which follows on from the base game campaign (but can be played without having played the previous campaign).

In this expansion, nightmares and horrors await behind these doors.
You will face many disturbing challenges: each step may be your last.

• Delving cards test your risk-taking tendencies in between areas.
• Torments grant you a small bonus in order to smother the evergrowing madness flooding you. Contain it or you’ll face your tormentor!
• Cursed Jewelry give you access to extra abilities that you can refresh at a cost.
• Scrolls are very powerful tools, but you cannot control which one will come to you.

Finally, the new Character, Rooms and final Boss will bring even more hype and replayability to your games!

The players must choose how to spend their resources to be powerful enough to confront ever more difficult monsters and hazards. Randomly generated levels and encounters make every playthrough a unique experience!

This expansion contains all the characters from the base game, the Council, and from the Depths of Damnation, the Old Gods, Mountain of Torments, and Forgotten Guardians expansions, all re-illustrated by artist Nicolas Roblin and each character slightly changed from their original. They may have different starting stats, and they will have one of their skills reworked! They come from an outer world, after all.

Beyond the Portal also includes two new characters: The Occultist and her soul syphon, and the Tinkerer and his skill to disarm traps!
