From BoardGameGeek
The year is 2037. Your organization is competing to put the first human being on Mars, but the competition is fierce. In Race to Mars, each player will build their own custom rocket and carefully plan their own crew deck that will take them to the red planet. But who will get there first? The race is on! Race to Mars is a fast-paced racing game where you build your deck from scratch and every decision matters. Will you add another module to your rocket? Should you enhance your crew deck to prepare for the journey ahead? Even what you leave behind is a rich decision as leftover cards will build the game board with the trajectories from Earth to Mars. And when should you launch your rocket? As fast as possible and try to stay ahead the entire way or do you stay cool and keep building up, hoping that you will overtake your competitors one by one? No two games of Race to Mars are the same, as each game will pose new challenges and opportunities. -description from the designer
