I'll start by saying that this game is fun and a really good one. However, for the price that I paid for this game the way that it came produced (or should I say NOT produced) was a huge letdown. Most strategy games that I have played look good, are packaged well, and are produced well from the game box, to player pieces, to game board. Terraforming Mars, however, was not made this way.
First of all, this is said to be a five player game, yet I only had four actual game boards. In order to play with five people, I literally had to take a game board and color photocopy it onto computer paper. How can a company charge $40+ but not include enough game boards to actually play? Even the game boards that were included (the four I received) are on a thin photo-type paper, not even on cardboard! Secondly, all aspects of the game pieces and cards were shrink-wrapped, and didn't come with enough bags (five total) or rubber bands (none) to keep everything together.

Must have game! Mediocre component quality. Sub-par box and cardboard insert was destroyed by poor shipping.
