Tharsis Gameplay Overview

Choice Provisions has unveiled Tharsis, their latest effort after many years spent on the Bit.Trip series. The game is a harrowing trip to Mars heavily inspired by tabletop mechanics, specifically worker placement games like Pandemic and Lords of Waterdeep.

A crew of four is stranded aboard the Iktomi, a spacecraft just barely halding together. With 10 weeks left in their voyage the craft is struck by a meteorite, which leads to a cascade of system failures. Players will have to leave it up to a roll of the dice to see if they make it to the Red Planet alive.
