Terraforming Mars

Each round is called a generation and consists of the following phases:

1) Player order shifts clockwise.

2) Research phase: All players buy cards from four privately drawn.

3) Action phase: Players take turns doing 1-2 actions from these
options: Playing a card, claiming a Milestone, funding an Award, using a
Standard project, converting plant into greenery tiles (and raising
oxygen), converting heat into a temperature raise, and using the action
of a card in play. The turn continues around the table (sometimes
several laps) until all players have passed.

4) Production phase: Players get resources according to their terraform rating and production parameters.

When the three global parameters (temperature, oxygen, ocean) have
all reached their required levels, the terraforming is complete, and the
game ends after that generation. Combine your Terraform Rating and
other VPs to determine the winning corporation!
