One Earth Review — Just Escape to Mars
119Become the richest while trying not to blow up the Earth! This tableau builder gamefound board game has players developing their country's prosperity via buying project cards to increase income, but sometimes the most resources will be from the projects that come at the cost of polluting the earth. Everyone's economies and engines will up global emissions, and if it gets too high, everyone loses! (Except the player with the lowest emissions) This makes for some crazy unique rules and mechanics that players can negotiate with over game night, and for some incredibly creative strategies to win victory points, especially with asymmetric character powers and abilities that cause wild tabletop politics. But with all that said, is One Earth balanced? And are the components and rulebook up to snuff?
