The base parts and board of Terraforming Mars is needed. **Q: How do the people survive on Venus? It's hot enough to melt lead.** A: They float high up in the atmosphere where the air pressure is close to 1 and the temperature is much lower. Just like several miles up in our atmosphere is really cold. **Q: These cards look very different from the original. Is this a real set or a fake?** A: Interesting question. Do you mean the pictures of the cards on the listing above? Or does the set you actually bought not look right? All of our products are sourced directly from the distributor and are 100% genuine but there are a lot of other sellers on this listing. Although I never heard of a fake version of this game, if you think you got a counterfeit copy from another seller, you can always return the game and report the issue to Amazon. **Q: Is the picture venus next or colonies? it looks like colonies...** A: The picture is Colonies, but this listing is for Venus. Unfortunately, Amazon has with increasing regularity the wrong pictures with their listing. We have one game that shows a picture of a Korean model endoring face cream! Respectfully, Robert S.

Colonies adds new ways to get resources that you need, adds fun project and corporation cards, with increasing the complexity and game time too much. I wouldn’t play with this expansion with first time players, but after the first TM game, it’s great to play ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Arrived very damaged *by I***R on May 26, 2025* Expansion is good, but shipment disgraceful....my luck what I dont need box ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Adding fun dimension to the game *by T***T on January 21, 2020* I have enjoyed the Venus Next addition to Terraforming Mars. It arrived the day before a blizzard that kept me blocked in my house for 5 days - I played a lot of solo games during that time! I have been playing it with Prelude as well. The 12 generation cap form Prelude does make it a challenge, but worth it. The additional corporation cards and playing cards are especially nice. ## Frequently Bought Together - Terraforming Mars: Venus Next Expansion – Explore and Colonize Venus with New Cards, and Strategic Challenges Board Game – Ages 12+ – Stronghold Games - Stronghold Games - Terraforming Mars Prelude 2 - Strategy Board Game Expansion - for 1 to 5 Players and Ages 12+ - Stronghold Games - Terraforming Mars Amazonis & Vastitas - Strategy Board Game Expansion - for 1 to 5 Players and Ages 12+ --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/53407583-venus-next](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/53407583-venus-next) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-09-01*
