Tharsis

Tharsis is a turn-based space survival game where players command a crew aboard a damaged spacecraft en route to Mars. Each turn requires managing dwindling supplies, repairing critical systems, and responding to unpredictable disasters that threaten the mission. Players assign crew members to tasks, roll dice to determine outcomes, and make difficult choices under pressure, as failures can lead to injury, death, or madness. The game emphasizes risk management and narrative tension, with every decision impacting the crew’s survival and the likelihood of reaching Mars.
