From the Tilsit website: Each player is appointed to lead an expedition that has set up a colony on Mars. You need to manage your best sources of raw materials, energy and settlers to build your military, scientific or economic interests and be the first to get the number of victory points set at the beginning of the game. However the Red Planet is an inhospitable place and any error in managing your resources may cost you in this race for development.
