This world building game is quite addictive. The mechanics of the game are complex enough to keep any veteran of the genre challenged and yet the learning curve is not too steep to discourage beginners and newbies. The story driven dialogue with the the AI is amusing and the whole Mars terraforming aspect of the game adds an interesting layer of humankind's near future. Highly recommended.

Hooked from the very start. Never read the books, nor played the game. But now I may!
