Terraforming Mars Table Creation

Use the following options to create a Terraforming Mars game. The options below correspond to options in the game. Global options, specified with a starting +, override player options. If all players have shared preferences for an option, then it will be added.

The default tfm server is https://mars.ross.gg, but you can add any valid url to the command and it will use that server instead, such as

  • terraforming-mars.herokuapp.com
  • tfm.msydevops.fr

Examples

Format your command like !tfm +<global opts<p1>;<p1 colors>;<p1 opts<p2>;<p2 colors>;<p2 opts...

As an example: !tfm +a3brewds Pocc;pbkg;covept Seth;r;

Here, Seth wants to play as red (r) and doesn't care about game options. Pocc wants to play as color purple, blue, black, green in that order. And then expansions cvpte with o for promos.

The mapping between letters and options is below. For an explanation of options, see https://github.com/bafolts/terraforming-mars/wiki/Variants

Options

Colors

Colors preferences are (r)ed, (y)ellow, (g)reen, (b)lue, (p)urple, blac(k) Use the first letter of each color to represent it or k for black

Board

Board options start with b: bt for tharsis, bh for hellas, be for elysium, br for random

Options

  • a startingCorporations (followed by the number) Set the number of starting corporations dealt to each player.

  • i initialDraft Adds a draft mechanic for starting cards. Choose 1 project cards among 5 and pass the rest to the player on your left. Then 1 project cards among 4 and pass the rest to the player on your left. Same process with another 5 project cards but pass to the player on your right.

  • TR Boost Give player(s) up to 10 additional starting TR as a game handicap.

  • Set Predefined Game Replay a previous game by selecting the game seed.
