Play Terraforming Mars on PC or Mac

Explore a whole new adventure with Terraforming Mars, a Board game created by Twin Sails Interactive. Experience great gameplay with BlueStacks, the most popular gaming platform to play Android games on your PC or Mac.

About the Game

Ever wondered what it’d be like to turn Mars into a place where people can actually live? Terraforming Mars lets you do just that, but with the twist of a competitive board game. Here, you’re in charge of a powerful corporation, juggling resources, launching huge projects, and trying to outwit both the Martian landscape and your rivals. It’s a clever mix of strategy, card play, and building — where every choice can tilt your path to victory or hand it to someone else. If you’re into deep board games with tons of ways to win (or lose), get ready for some serious brain-bending sessions.

Game Features

  • Official Board Game Adaptation
    Experience the digital version of Jacob Fryxelius’ hit board game, complete with all the core mechanics fans love.

  • Compete or Cooperate
    Battle the AI or go head-to-head with up to five friends in multiplayer. Whether online, offline, or sharing a screen, there’s room for everyone at the table (or on the couch).

  • Strategic Card Play
    Play cards to trigger powerful effects, start bold projects, or sabotage your rivals — planting a forest one moment, dodging asteroids the next.

  • Corporate Era Variant
    Want more depth? Turn on the Corporate Era rules for extra corporations, new economic and tech cards, and a chunkier strategic challenge.

  • Solo Mode Challenge
    Up for going it alone? Try to terraform the entire planet before generation 14. It’s brutal but super satisfying if you can pull it off.

  • Expansion Packs
    Mix things up with the Prelude expansion for a fresh start, explore Mars’ other regions with new maps, or add the Venus board into the mix for another layer of complexity.

  • Multilingual Support
    Play your way, with language options including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, and Swedish.

If you want to stretch your board gaming legs (and maybe play on a bigger screen), BlueStacks gives you an easy way to enjoy Terraforming Mars without being stuck on your phone.

Make your gaming sessions memorable with precise controls that give you an edge in close combats and visuals that pop up, bringing every character to life.
