Mars Expedition: Sol 43 Preview

About Mars Expedition: SOL43, from BoardGameGeek:

Mars Expedition: SOL43 features 43 Martian days full of scientific journeys and discoveries. Forty-three missions during which you will experience being a cryptographer, navigator, geologist, mineralogist, geochemist, physicist, and futurist. In Mars Expedition: SOL43, the first challenge is to decode the mission task. The task is encoded in a special code that was transferred to us by scientists-marsologists from the future. Then the player gets to the surface of the red planet, where the task has already been stated. It is necessary to learn how to handle the drone. At first, the landscape is simple because the operator is a novice, but the deeper you immerse into the game, the more complex and diverse the Mars terrain becomes. Finally, it is necessary to warn our cosmologists about geomagnetic anomalies and unusual nanomaterials, such as aerographene, found on the surface of Mars. The forces of the natural elements come to life in this game, bringing extra hues to the overall panorama of the game board. Natural element of wind is concentrated in one cube. Is it possible to control it? Can it bring the astronauts' plans to nothing? How to counteract the wind? How to make friendship with it? Science versus chance! This is a riddle that players will have to solve.
