  TERRAFORMING MARS  

TO BECOME A SF TV SERIES

The board game might become a TV series

Speaking of sf series, Deadline reports that board game TERRA- FORMING MARS will be turned into a sf TV series. Production company Cobal Knight is leaning towards a series but is also open for a feature take on the strategy game, which sees players compete to use resources and innovative technology to make the red planet inhabitable. Sold in over 1,5 million copies, the game highlights existential tropes like class struggle, colonialism, and ecological collapse. The adaptation will explore the unique human drama that inherently comes along with running a company tasked with creating oceans, building prosperous cities, and balancing the ecology of plant and animal life.
