One of the biggest successes of 2016 has managed to pack itself full of science-y goodness while still making for a cracking good game-and that is Terraforming Mars, by designer Jacob Fryxelius and published by his own FryxGames out of Sweden. Leaving Earth bridges the other two and adds a dash of crew training and engineering trial-and-failure.Project Mars concentrates on the business side of organizing a space program.High Frontier is hard science, all about gathering the right components and mastering the labyrinthine pathways through the solar system.Space-exploration themed games are well-represented, each with slightly different focus. You’ve got games about evolution, chemistry, and coral reef ecosystem management.
