Terraforming Mars Cost-Benefit Analysis

Terraforming Mars is a competitive board game developed by Jacob Fryxelius and published by FryxGames in 2016. Players take on the role of corporations tasked with making Mars habitable through the raising of the oxygen level, temperature, and ocean coverage, as well as sundry other projects to progress humanity.

Currently sitting at #4 on BoardGameGeek's ranked board game list, Terraforming Mars has found broad popularity among strategy board gamers in large part due to its variety and complexity. With 208 unique cards and 12 distinct corporations, players are put into an endless assortment of scenarios. This level of depth means that players must often intuit their next move rather than deduce it from a strict observation of values and probabilities.

In a bid to add more deduction back into the equation, this analysis aims to take every card in Terraforming Mars and boil it down to a single value in credits for a given generation and player count in order to demonstrate a simple value-comparison.

▶ Glossary

• Corporation: Each of the 12 cards that players choose from at the beginning of the game. Confers starting resources and a special ability
• Credits: MegaCredits, the game's central resource
• Generation: often abbreviated to "gen", a single round of play comprised of several turns
• Project: Each of the game's 208 unique cards
• Research: The first phase of each generation, where the players draw projects and then decide how many of them to put into their hand by paying 3 credits for each
• Resource: A cube placed on a project to represent, most commonly, a microbe or animal
• Standard Project: One of several actions that are always available and have a cost in credits, but don't require playing a project.
• Tag: A symbol that represents the type of industry used to complete a project. Most projects have at least one tag and many have two or three
• Terraforming Rating: abbreviated to "TR", a measure of a player's success in terraforming. Each point of TR is worth 1 vp as well as an additional credit each generation.
• Turn: A player taking one or two actions
• Victory Points: abbreviated to "vp", the player with the most of these at the end of the game wins

External Data Processing

^index

The base_cards database contains information about each card (referred to in-game as projects) and follows a couple of conventions:

• When a resource is written in uppercase it refers to that resource's production, whereas when written in lowercase it refers to the resource itself.
• All resource nouns are written in the singular in order to simplify referencing.

▶ base_cards information

Each project contains the following columns:

• Title: The name of the project
• Game: Terraforming Mars contains two versions of the game, a simple, learning version called "base" and the full version called "corporate" which merely adds more projects and corporations to the game. The full version is used for the purposes of this analysis and so both "base" and "corporate" cards are present
• Type: There are three project types: automated, active, and event
  • Automated cards are triggered once when played, but the "tags" they show can further influence gameplay
  • Events are similar except they are turned face down after played so their tags don't contribute to future gameplay
  • Active cards are those that contain either persistent passive benefits or an active ability that may be used up to once per generation
• Primary Cost: The cost, in MegaCredits, to play the project
• Additional Cost: Any additional resources that may need to be spent when playing the project
• Tags: Symbols most cards contain that convey the type of industry involved in completing the project. The effects of some cards are multiplied by the number of a type of tag on the cards a player has previously played
• Prerequisites: Some projects require not only payment but that a certain condition be met, such as any of the three terraforming measures (oceans, oxygen, and temperature) having a minimum or maximum value, or that the player has previously played projects with a minimum total number of a type of tag
• Victory Points: Can be a strict value, or a fraction based on the number of a player's resource cubes on the project, tags in their tableau, or some other metric
• Immediate Benefit: The benefit gained at the time of playing a project. Some cards have no immediate benefit
• Passive Benefit: changes the game state for the player who played the project, allowing them to play other projects more cheaply, gain resources whenever a certain action is taken, and other effects
• Active Cost: The cost, if any, required to gain the active benefit
• Active Benefit: May be gained up to once per turn, either for free or by paying the active cost
• Removed from Opponent: Some projects demand that an opponent lose some amount of resources

The all_games database is a collection of stats from over 12,000 individually logged games downloaded from Simeon Simeonov's excellent Terraforming Mars website. The base_games database contains only the matches from all_games which were played with the Corporate version of the game.

Finally, five two-player games were conducted with the base set and in each of these games, every action is documented as well as the corporations chosen, the numbers of cards purchased, the final scores, as well as a few other criteria. These games combine to form a dataset smaller but of much finer detail than base_games. These games are read into DataFrames and then added into a list called in_depth_games.

▶ in_depth_games information

Each game contains the following columns:

• Generation: the game's current generation
• Player: the player whose turn it is
• Action: the action taken by the player
• Spent: the number of steel and/or titanium spent as part of the action
• Terraforming: the number of steps completed in any of the three terraforming requirements (oceans, oxygen, and temperature) as a result of the action
• Cities: notes if a city was placed as a result of the action

Number of Generations per Game

Terraforming Mars lasts a variable number of generations. An average number of generations for each player count is derived from base_games. These will be used to determine the income which will be generated over the remainder of the game for a given project after the generation during which it is played.

▶ Methodology

  For each player count, the generation counts of all logged games in base_games are averaged and then rounded and finally converted to an integer for readability. The averages are then packed into a dictionary to be referenced in future functions.

^{variable definitions
index}

Average length of game in generations:
2p: 13
3p: 11
4p: 10
5p: 10

Main Variables

Next, each resource in the game must be converted to a number of credits. The standard projects are set as listed on the game board, and steel and titanium as listed on the player boards.

Plants and heat are set by dividing 8 into the credit values for the temperature and greenery standard projects. 8 is the number of plants required to place a greenery tile, and the number of heat required to raise the temperature.

For energy, it was necessary to borrow some information from one of the expansions: Colonies. In order to trade with a colony, players must spend either 9 credits, 3 titanium, or 3 energy. This suggests that 1 energy = 1 titanium = 3 credits.

Drawing a project is valued at 4 credits, combining the price to buy a project (3 credits) with the 1 credit gained from discarding it using the "Sell patents" standard project. In addition, there is a 2 credit opportunity cost added on that represents the chance to obtain a worthwhile project.

Discarding a project is valued at a loss of 4 credits: the price to buy the project into hand plus the 1 credit that could be gained from selling it. Since the project has already been seen, there is no loss of opportunity.

▶ Methodology

First the standard projects and resources are defined. The production functions account for the number of remaining generations, referred to as "income". 1 income means one generation remaining after the current one in the average game.

There is an additional production phase after the final generation, but for the most part there are only two resources for which the final production matters: plants, which can then be converted into greeneries one final time and credits, which determine the winner in the event of a tie.

Then dictionaries are defined with references to these values for later use, including one for resources which is not yet populated.

^{variable definitions
index}

Credit values:

temperature = 14
ocean = 18
greenery = 23
credit = 1
steel = 2
titanium = 3
plant = 2.875
heat = 1.75
energy = 3
draw = 6

Given an income of 1:
city = 23
CREDIT = 2
STEEL = 2
TITANIUM = 3
PLANT = 5.75
ENERGY = 3
HEAT = 1.75

Number of Cards Played

The valuation of certain projects, such as Anti-Gravity Technology and Space Station, depends on knowing the average number of cards played in a given generation. This is simply an average, per generation, taken from the five games in the in_depth_games list.

^{variable definitions
index}

The average number of projects played by a player per generation: 
1: 2.0
2: 1.1
3: 2.0
4: 1.4
5: 2.1
6: 2.3
7: 2.5
8: 2.7
9: 3.1
10: 3.0
11: 2.9
12: 4.8
13: 4.6
14: 6.6
15: 6.25
16: 6.666666666666667
17: 6.25

Number of Cities Played

Some projects are concerned with the number of cities played in a given generation, such as Rover Construction and Martian Rails. This data is also averaged from in_depth_games.

^{variable definitions
index}

The average number of cities on the board per generation: 
1: 0.8
2: 1.0
3: 1.2
4: 1.4
5: 1.8
6: 2.2
7: 2.6
8: 3.4
9: 4.0
10: 4.6
11: 5.2
12: 5.8
13: 7.0
14: 8.6
15: 9.75
16: 13.0
17: 13.0

Average Rate of Terraforming

A game of Terraforming Mars ends after three terraforming conditions are met:

• The oxygen level has reached 14%
• The temperature has reached 8°C
• All nine ocean tiles have been placed

The rate at which these conditions are met varies widely from game to game, and so an average per-generation number must be assigned to each condition.

Since the length of the games in in_depth_games varies but the length used in value calculation (averaged from all_games) does not, the averages below have been conformed to the average game lengths in a future function.

^{variable definitions

Generation:	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12	13	14	15	16	17

Temperature:	-30	-30	-28	-28	-28	-26	-24	-24	-22	-20	-14	-8	-6	-2	4	6	8

Tile Placement

Placing a tile on an area with resources allows the player to take those resources, adding to the value of the tile. This additional value is passed on to any project that provides the player with a tile to place. The exceptions are cities, greeneries, and oceans, where the assumption is that the potential for additional resource gain is factored into the cost of the standard projects.

▶ Methodology

To determine the average value added from these map resources, the total sum of credits gained from the resources of all areas on the map are divided by the total number of areas. This is done separately for ocean areas and non-ocean areas. The two off-world areas and the Noctis City area have been disregarded, since they cannot be placed upon except for unique circumstances.

^{variable definitions
index}

Placing a land tile is worth 2.372 credits.
Placing an ocean tile is worth 4.135 credits.

Project Tags

Several projects provide benefits based on the number of projects with a specific tag that a player has previously played, and so it must be determined the chance that any given project contains any of the tag types.

▶ Methodology

For each tag type, the number of projects with that tag is divided by the total number of projects to determine the chance that a project drawn contains that tag.

Then, they are divided into chance_tag_played and chance_tag_showing. This is because some projects with one tag type might also have an event tag. Tags on event projects are considered when the project is played, but the card is subsequently flipped face-down and its tags are no longer counted. chance_tag_showing disregards any such cards.

Lastly, the two categories of tag types are placed into dictionaries for future referencing.

^{variable definitions
index}

Chance to draw earth tag = 10.6%
Chance to draw science tag = 15.9%
Chance to draw plant tag = 10.1%
Chance to draw microbe tag = 7.7%
Chance to draw animal tag = 4.3%
Chance to draw space tag = 20.2%
Chance to draw event tag = 17.8%
Chance to draw building tag = 32.2%
Chance to draw jovian tag = 5.8%
Chance to draw power tag = 13.0%
Chance to draw city tag = 5.8%


Chance to draw non-event earth tag = 6.2%
Chance to draw non-event science tag = 14.4%
Chance to draw non-event plant tag = 10.1%
Chance to draw non-event microbe tag = 7.2%
Chance to draw non-event animal tag = 4.3%
Chance to draw non-event space tag = 12.0%
Chance to draw non-event event tag = 17.8%
Chance to draw non-event building tag = 32.2%
Chance to draw non-event jovian tag = 5.8%
Chance to draw non-event power tag = 13.0%
Chance to draw non-event city tag = 5.8%

Special Case Projects

The primary function will suffice to calculate value for 156 of the 208 cards in the base set. The other 52 are dealt with separately for one of two reasons:

• The card has an effect that is distinctive enough as to require special attention.
• The card has a small quirk that only requires a line or two of extra code, but the effect is rare enough that the code is left out of the main function for the sake of concision.

After defining the special case cards, the base_cards database is split into basic_cases and special_cases.

Remaining Generations

The given current generation and player count is used to determine the number of remaining generations based on the average number of generations per game, which also determines the current income.

^{function definitions
index}

Example:
In the first generation of a 2 player game:

Income = 12
Last Generation = 13

Credits per Victory Point

Victory points (vp) must also be converted to credits. To do this, the three terraforming standard projects are used. These confer a terraforming rating point (TR) though, and not a victory point. A TR is the same as a vp except that it also provides an income of one credit. Because it is based on a constant cost, the value of a TR will remain constant over the course of the game, while the extra income from the TR must be subtracted from the cost of the project when valuing VP. Because income declines as the game progresses, the value of a VP rises over time.

In addition to income, the average bonus credits accrued through tile placement are also factored into the Aquifer and Greenery standard projects when calculating for VP value.

▶ Methodology

To come to a single value for a given generation and player count, the "points per credit" are determined for each of the three standard terraforming projects and then the average is taken. Note that greeneries are worth two points (one for the TR from raising the oxygen, another from the greenery tile itself) and so are calculated accordingly.

^{function definitions
index}

In a 2 player game:
Gen 1 = 3.15 credits per VP
Gen 2 = 4.49 credits per VP
Gen 3 = 5.74 credits per VP
Gen 4 = 6.93 credits per VP
Gen 5 = 8.07 credits per VP
Gen 6 = 9.19 credits per VP
Gen 7 = 10.29 credits per VP
Gen 8 = 11.37 credits per VP
Gen 9 = 12.44 credits per VP
Gen 10 = 13.49 credits per VP
Gen 11 = 14.55 credits per VP
Gen 12 = 15.59 credits per VP
Gen 13 = 16.63 credits per VP

Variable Initialization

The two above functions are used to initialize future functions based on the current generation and player count.

^{function definitions
index}

Example:
In the first generation of a 2 player game:

Income = 12
Victory Points = 3.15
Terraform Rating = 15.15
Last Generation = 13

Number of Projects Seen

At the beginning of the game, each player draws 10 projects, deciding which to purchase into their hand. On the second and every subsequent generation, each player draws 4 projects for potential purchase. The following function determines the number of unique projects a player has had the opportunity to play based on the current generation.

It is used primarily in determining the likely number of a certain tag that player may have showing in a given generation.

^{function definitions
index}

Example:
In the third generation, the player has seen 18 projects during research phases.

Microbes

Microbes are a resource that get added onto projects, accumulating either to be converted into points at the end of the game or to be spent on terraforming. The relevant effects of all cards that hold microbes have been averaged to determine the value of a microbe in a given generation/player count.

▶ Methodology

The following cards are taken into account when calculating the value of a microbe:

• Ants - 1 vp per 2 microbes
• Decomposers - 1 vp per 3 microbes
• GHG Producing Bacteria - 1 temp per 2 microbes
• Nitrite Reducing Bacteria - 1 TR per 3 microbes
• Regolith Eaters - 1 oxygen per 2 microbes
• Tardigrades - 1 vp per 4 microbes

After determining the value, vars_dict_resource is updated to contain microbe_val.

^{function definitions
index}

In a 2 player game:
Gen 1 = 3.54 credits per microbe
Gen 2 = 3.8 credits per microbe
Gen 3 = 4.04 credits per microbe
Gen 4 = 4.26 credits per microbe
Gen 5 = 4.48 credits per microbe
Gen 6 = 4.68 credits per microbe
Gen 7 = 4.89 credits per microbe
Gen 8 = 5.09 credits per microbe
Gen 9 = 5.28 credits per microbe
Gen 10 = 5.48 credits per microbe
Gen 11 = 5.67 credits per microbe
Gen 12 = 5.86 credits per microbe
Gen 13 = 6.05 credits per microbe

Animals

Animals are the same as microbes except that they are never spent, merely accumulated on cards and then converted to points at the end of the game.

▶ Methodology

The following cards are taken into account when calculating the value of an animal:

• Birds - 1 vp per animal
• Fish - 1 vp per animal
• Livestock - 1 vp per animal
• Predators - 1 vp per animal
• Ecological Zone - 1 vp per 2 animals
• Herbivores - 1 vp per 2 animals
• Pets - 1 vp per 2 animals
• Small Animals - 1 vp per 2 animals

After determining the value, vars_dict_resource is updated to contain animal_val.

^{function definitions
index}

In a 2 player game:
Gen 1 = 2.37 credits per animal
Gen 2 = 3.37 credits per animal
Gen 3 = 4.3 credits per animal
Gen 4 = 5.19 credits per animal
Gen 5 = 6.05 credits per animal
Gen 6 = 6.89 credits per animal
Gen 7 = 7.71 credits per animal
Gen 8 = 8.53 credits per animal
Gen 9 = 9.33 credits per animal
Gen 10 = 10.12 credits per animal
Gen 11 = 10.91 credits per animal
Gen 12 = 11.69 credits per animal
Gen 13 = 12.47 credits per animal

Variable Scanner

Takes a benefit phrase such as "4 STEEL" or "1 ocean" and converts it into a credit value.

▶ Methodology

A list is passed to vars_scan that contains each word or number in the benefit (eg. ['4', 'STEEL']). This simplifies the process of indexing the elements and converting them into values. The benefit phrase is scanned, and if any given word matches an entry in vars_dict_static, vars_dict_variable, or vars_dict_resource (defined here), the value associated with that variable is multiplied by the number preceeding it. The terms "TR", "oxygen", and "discard" are also handled.

^{function definitions
index}

Example:
In the first generation of a 2 player game, 4 STEEL is worth 96 credits.

The "per" term

Some card effects provide benefits based on a combination of variables, such as "1 energy per city" or "1 CREDIT per space tag". The left coefficient is calculated using vars_scan, while the right is calculated herein.

▶ Methodology

First the passed list is rejoined into a string and then resplit into the two coefficients to either side of "per". The left coefficient is run through vars_scan, while the right coefficient is handled based on the terms "tag", "city", or "event".

In the event that the right coefficient is "tag" or "event", the likelihood of a drawn project having that tag is multiplied by the number of projects drawn thusfar (10 + 4 for every generation after the first). The result becomes the value of the right coefficient.

If the coefficient is "city", the list ave_cities_on_board is consulted to determine the average number of cities on the board for the given generation.

Example:
In the third generation of a 2 player game, "1 CREDIT per 1 player space tag" is worth 23.8 credits.

The "or" term

Some projects provide a choice between two benefits or two active costs. In these cases, the more valuable benefit (or the less valuable cost) is chosen using or_scan().

▶ Methodology

The benefit is passed into ors as a string and subsequently split into the two benefits on either side of the "or" term. Then each benefit is evaluated and added to comparison_list, the greater or lesser of which is returned based on whether the "or" describes a benefit or a cost.

Between a benefit of 1 plant (2.875 credits) and 1 energy (3 credits), 1 energy is chosen.

Terraforming State

Under the variable definitions, average terraforming rates were determined. Each of the three lists (oceans, oxygen, and temperature) have a number of entries equal to the length of the longest game recorded in in_depth_games. Each entry holds the average number of terraforming steps for that generation.

Because this data was culled from games of different lengths and the projects are to be evaluated based on a single length per player count (the averages from base_games), the previous terraforming lists must be condensed down to match the average lengths used in evaluation.

▶ Methodology

The longest game in in_depth_games lasted 17 generations. To condense the lists of average terraforming rates down from 17 to the numbers used for evaluation, the x values are transformed according to the following formula: (x - 1) * comp + 1, where comp holds the following number for each player count:

• 2 players - .75
• 3 players - .625
• 4 players - .5625
• 5 players - .5625

This condenses the curve down to the correct length in generations, but there are still 17 y values. To pare it down to the requisite number, for any x value with more than one y value, the y values are averaged.

Database Edit

During the valuation functions, a number of transformations must be made to the resulting DataFrame for the purpose of presentation.

▶ Methodology

First, the following new columns are added to the DataFrame: Value, Generation, and Players. The func kwarg is used in analyzing the grouped special cases.

Next the Value column is moved to the right of the project title. The index is shifted up 1 to account for zero-indexing. Finally, the numbers in the Value column are boldened.

Basic Project Valuation

These are the main functions responsible for attaching a value to a project for a given generation and player count.

▶ Methodology

To begin with, a function is defined to compute the cost or benefit associated with each column in the database:

• compute_additional_cost_value() handles any resources beyond the credit cost that must be paid when playing a project
• compute_victory_points_value() handles the number of victory points a project is worth when it is a static value. Projects that award a variable number of points based on a game state are handled either under compute_immediate_benefit_value() or compute_active_benefit_value()
• compute_immediate_benefit_value() handles the immediate benefit of playing a project.
• compute_active_benefit_value() handles active benefits that can be gained once per generation. If the active benefit has an associated cost, that cost will be subtracted from the benefit. If the result is positive, it will be added to the project's value. This determination must be made separately for each remaining generation, since some costs or benefits are dependent on the number of remaining generations
• compute_removal_value() handles the resources removed from an opponent. Though the player who played the project does not gain these resources, they are considered a swing in credits and so are counted towards a project's value
  
  Next a decorator is written to allow for the special cases code to be added in later. The special cases are the 52 projects that require additional code to be evaluated.
  
  The wrapped function first evaluates the project's primary cost, then runs all of the above functions and adds the returns to the total value of the project. After that is the placeholder function meant to run any special cases code that will be added later and add that return to the total value.
  
  Finally the value is applied to every row in the DataFrame and added as a new column. Additional columns are added stating the current generation and player count.

Special Cases

The 52 cards that require code beyond that in the base project valuation function.

▶ Methodology

For some special case projects, compute_value() is used to determine the project's basic value and then any additional effects are valued by extra code fed to the wrapper.
For the rest, the basic project valuation function is eschewed and a bespoke valuation function is executed.

Price Reducers

A group of projects that reduce the cost of certain other projects.

▶ Methodology

First it's determined the number of projects the player will play over the remainder of the game according to ave_projects_per_gen.

For those projects that offer a straight credit discount, the remaining number of projects is multiplied by the discount.

The rest of the projects offer a discount only to projects with a certain tag. In these cases, the number of remaining projects a player will research is multiplied by the chance that any given project will contain the relevant tag.

Card Purchasers

Two projects, Business Network and Inventor's Guild, that provide an active ability which allows the player to draw a project and then decide whether or not to buy that project into their hand for 3 credits.

▶ Methodology

Normally the effect of drawing a project is worth 6 credits:

• 3 for not having to purchase it
• 1 for the ability to sell it as a patent (a standard project)
• 2 for the opportunity to draw something useful

Since Business Network and Inventor's Guild require the player to buy the drawn project if they want to put it in their hand, each drawn project is only worth the 2 credit opportunity cost.

Mining Projects

Two projects, Mining Area and Mining Rights, whose immediate benefit is that the player places a special tile on an area with a steel or titanium bonus and then raises their production of that resource by 1.

▶ Methodology

To determine the average value of the immediate benefit, first the average is taken of the bonuses on all areas that include either steel or titanium. Then, the average of the increased steel and titanium productions.

Jovian and Offworld

Three projects that among them share two similarities. Ganymede Colony and Io Mining Industries are each worth 1 vp for each jovian tag the player has showing at the end of the game. There is another project, Water Import from Europa, that is worth 1 vp for each Jovian tag but it isn't included here because it has an additional ability that requires separate attention.

Ganymede Colony and Phobos Space Haven each cause the player to place a city tile on a reserved offworld site. These sites differ from normal city placement in that they cannot be adjacent to any greenery tiles, meaning that they confer no added value.

▶ Methodology

For the two jovian projects, the average number of jovian tags a player will draw over the course of the game is multiplied by the value of 1 vp in the given generation.
For the two offworld site projects, the offworld city is skipped when evaluating benefits.

Adaptation Technology

Rather than providing a direct benefit, Adaptation Technology allows the player to bend the rules of the game. Some projects have a requirement that needs to be met before they're played. This could be the player showing a certain number of a type of tag, a certain level of temperature that must be reached, etc. Adaptation Technology affects those projects with a requirement tied to the three terraforming conditions (oceans, oxygen, and temperature) by easing the project requirements by 2 steps in either direction. If a project has a requirement of 5% oxygen, Adaptation Technology allows that project to be played at 3% oxygen.

▶ Methodology

Because Adaptation Technology's effect is extremely situational, determining an average functionability is prohibitively difficult. Instead, three values have been chosen based on author's experience:

• 3 - The project's effect finds a use about every third generation
• 2 - It allows a project with a terraforming requirement to be played about two generations early
• 6 - The average amount of income gained through playing a project two generations early

Aquifer Pumping

Aquifer Pumping provides the player with the ability to place an ocean tile once per generation. This ability costs 8 credits, which may be partially or fully paid with steel.

▶ Methodology

Starting with the current generation, the remaining generations are looped through and the active benefit is triggered on each, unless the maximum number of 9 oceans have already been placed.
average_oceans_per_gen is used to determine the number of ocean tiles on the board when Acquifer Pumping is played. If the average change from one generation to the next is > 1, the additional amount is added to the ocean counter in determining when the maximum has been reached.

Capital

Capital allows the player to place a special city tile, and is worth 1 vp for each ocean adjacent to the that tile at the end of the game.

▶ Methodology

Each area on the map adjacent to one or more ocean areas has been counted. The total number of ocean areas adjacent to each such land area has been averaged over the total number of ocean-adjacent land areas to reach an average number of oceans adjacent to Capital.

Immigrant City

Immigrant City grants the player an additional CREDIT every time a city tile is placed.

▶ Methodology

ave_cities_on_board is used to check the number of city tiles placed in the given generation. A CREDIT is added for the city tile placed as a result of playing Immigrant City and then the average number of city tiles placed during each remaining generation is multiplied by the value of a CREDIT in that generation.

Insulation

Insulation allows the player to convert any number of HEAT into the same number of CREDIT. The difficulty is that HEAT is worth more than CREDIT, so the benefit is always net negative. In effect, without context it is always bad to play this project. The only reason to do so would be if credits were more important than heat, such as when the temperature has already been maxed out and there is potentially no more use for heat. Since the purpose of this analysis is to remove context, Insulation will always have a negative value.

▶ Methodology

It is assumed that when Insulation is played, the player will want to convert all of their HEAT into CREDIT. To that end, it is first determined the average number of HEAT a player will have during the generation in which Insulation is played and it converts that amount.

Land Claim

Land Claim allows the player to reserve an empty land area, so that only they may place a tile there in a future action.

Mars University

Mars University allows the player to discard a project in order to draw a project whenever they play a science tag.

▶ Methodology

The discarded project is valued at 4 credits: the 3 credits spent to put it into the player's hand, and the 1 credit that it could have been sold for. That means that the project-drawing benefit of Mars University is essentially worth just the opportunity value of seeing a new project.

Nitrogen-Rich Asteroid

Nitrogen Rich Asteroid provides the player with a conditional benefit. If the player has at least 3 plant tags showing on their projects when Nitrogen Rich Asteroid is played, it gives them 4 PLANT. Otherwise, it gives them 1 PLANT.

▶ Methodology

The number of projects the player has drawn from research so far is multiplied by the chance that a given non-event project has a plant tag. If the result is greater than or equal to 3, the benefit is valued at 4 PLANT. Otherwise, it is valued at 1 PLANT.

Optimal Aerobraking

Optimal Aerobraking has a passive benefit yielding 3 credits and 3 heat that triggers whenever the player plays a project with both a space tag and an event tag.

▶ Methodology

A DataFrame is created with every project that contains both a space tag and an event tag, which is then used to determine the chance that a given project drawn will contain both tags. This chance is multiplied by the number of projects seen by the player in the research phases of the current and remaining generations, the product of which is then multiplied by the benefit value.

Power Infrastructure

Power Infrastructure has an active benefit that converts any number of energy into the same number of credits. Because an energy is worth more than a credit, it suffers from the same problem as Insulation in that the project's value will always be negative.

▶ Methodology

Since it is prohibitively difficult to determine an average number of energy a player may have in a given generation and impossible to determine how much they would want to spend, the average has been estimated at 3.5 energy per generation.

Protected Habitat

Protected Habitat has a passive benefit that prevents the player's plants, animal resources, and microbe resources from being removed by an opponent's project.

▶ Methodology

A DataFrame is created containing every project that removes plants, animal resources, or microbe resources from an opponent. This is used to determine the value of the removed resources from each project within, which are averaged into ave_removed_per_project. Then the length of the DataFrame is used to determine the chance that any project drawn will be one from the DataFrame, which is saved to chance_removed_played.

Finally, chance_removed_played is multiplied by all the player's projects drawn in the current and remaining generations' research phases, the product of which is then multiplied by ave_removed_per_project to determine the average amount of value protected by Protected Habitat.

Robotic Workforce

Robotic Workforce allows the player to copy the production benefits of one of their existing projects with a building tag, though it also copies any additional production costs.

▶ Methodology

Each eligible project (those that have a building tag and any production benefits) is collected into a DataFrame. Then for each project in the DataFrame, the value of any additional production costs is subtracted from the value of any production benefits. The resulting value is added as a column in the DataFrame and the values are averaged to determine the added value to Robotic Workforce.

Search for Life

Search for Life's active ability allows the player to reveal and then discard the top project from the deck. If that project contains a microbe tag, then a science resource is placed on Search for Life and it is worth 3 vp. Additional science resources have no effect.

▶ Methodology

The odds of revealing a project with a microbe tag are multiplied by the number of remaining generations plus the current gen. That results in the average chance that the project will be worth 3 vp by game's end. This chance is simply multiplied by 3 vp to come up with the value added by the active benefit.

Special Design

Special Design has a similar effect to Adaptation Technology in that it allows the player to cheat one of the terraforming prerequisites by up to two steps in either direction when playing a project. The difference is that instead of a permanent passive effect, Special Design only grants that ability for the next project played by the player.

▶ Methodology

Special Design uses the same estimates as Adaptation Technology, namely that it allows a relevant project to be played about 2 generations early and each of those generations is worth about an extra 6 credits.

Standard Technology

Standard Technology provides a passive benefit that awards the player 3 credits after they've purchased any standard project.

▶ Methodology

First, in_depth_games is looped through and a list is made for each player in each game that records the number of standard projects they purchased during every generation in that game. Next, those lists are used to find the average number of standard projects purchased by a player during any given generation.

Then the current and remaining generations are looped through and for each, the average number of standard projects purchased by a player during that generation is multiplied by 3 credits. Finally, the total added value is multiplied by 1.5 to reflect the greater likelihood of a player purchasing standard projects once they've played Standard Technology.

Viral Enhancers

Viral Enhancers provides a passive benefit that yields a bonus whenever the player plays a project with a plant, microbe, and/or animal tag. If a plant tag is played, the player gains a plant. If a microbe or animal tag is played, the player may gain a plant or add an appropriate resource to the project with the tag.

▶ Methodology

The number of projects the player has drawn in the current research phase and will draw in the research phases of the remaining generations is multiplied by the chance that any given project will contain a plant, microbe, or animal tag, respectively. Each of those products will then be multiplied by the value added by the given bonus.

Water Import from Europa

Water Import from Europa provides the player with the ability to place an ocean tile once per generation. This ability costs 12 credits, which may be partially or fully paid with titanium. It is also worth 1 vp per jovian tag the player has at game's end.

▶ Methodology

Starting with the current generation, the remaining generations are looped through and the active benefit is triggered on each, unless the maximum number of 9 oceans have already been placed.

average_oceans_per_gen is used to determine the number of ocean tiles on the board when Water Import from Europa is played. If the average change from one generation to the next is ≥ 2, the additional ocean is added to the ocean counter in determining when the maximum has been reached.

Finally, The total number of cards the player will see during research phases over the course of an average game is multiplied by the chance that a given project will contain a Jovian tag to determine the number of vp awarded.

Single Gen Evaluation

The first step is to calculate the values of every project given a single generation and player count. Included in this is a prerequisite check. Some projects have prerequisites that must be met before they can be played, such as a certain number of tags having been played, or a certain terraforming state having been reached. Several of these projects would be worth a great deal of credits if played in the first generation for example, but it may range from unlikely to impossible that these prerequisites would have been met.

The prerequisite check determines the average generation in which any prerequisite could be met, and if enabled, will give any project deemed unable to be played in the given generation a null value.

▶ Methodology

A dictionary with basic_case_eval and all of the special cases functions is looped through and the resulting DataFrames are combined and sorted.

Next, check_prereqs is defined to determine the eligibility of a project with prerequisites for a given generation. The prerequisites checked are for having a certain minimum number of a tag showing and then either a minimum or maximum value for one of the terraforming states (oceans, oxygen, and temperature). In addition, there are two projects with unique prerequisites. Advanced Ecosystems requires one each of three different tags showing, and Rad-Suits requires two cities to have been placed on the board by any player/s.

check_prereqs can be observed or ignored based on the ignore_prereqs parameter.

Full Game Evaluation

Now that all projects can be valued with a given generation and player count, they can be valued for a full game with a given player count.

▶ Methodology

First, the number of generations are set by the player_count argument. Each generation is looped through and valued with single_gen_full_db(), then forming a new column.

Correlation Test

Now that values are collated, they can be checked for correlation with the final scores of the games in in_depth_games. While five data points are too few to make a strong prediction, a sense can be gained of whether the valuation coincides with actual gameplay.

For each game, the total credit values of all projects played by each player are compared to the final scores to see if the player with the higher total credit value was the player who won and if so, how close were the ratios between total credit values and final scores.

▶ Methodology

First the player count and game length are determined, and then the number of generations the game lasted is compressed to fit the average number for that player count. The final scores are grabbed from the last two rows of the DataFrame, then each row is looped through with apply() and if a project was played then it's value for the generation in which it was played is added to the total credit value of the player who played it.

After the total credit values of both players have been calculated, they are compared to the final scores to determine whether the winner of the game was the player who had a higher total credit value. If so, the total credit value ratio is compared with the final score ratio to determine how closely the two factors align.

Line Graphs

For each project, the values over the course of a game are plotted on a line. If prerequisites are observed, projects will have "N/A" in the place of any generation where the project is found to be ineligible.

^{analysis

Highest and Lowest Values per Gen

A DataFrame is presented with the most and least valuable projects for each generation with a given player count.

▶ Methodology

First the number of generations is set based on the player count, and then the empty DataFrame min_and_max_values is created. all_gens_full_db() is called and then the following two projects are removed: "Insulation", and "Power Infrastructure". Due to the fact that the value of these two projects is purely contextual, they will always carry a negative value, which skews the results.

The generations are looped through and the highest and lowest value projects for each are added to min_and_max_values.

Value Ranges

A DataFrame is presented with the range of values over the course of a game for each project.

▶ Methodology

The number of generations is determined by the player count then the full project DataFrame is looped through and the range in values is determined for each project and added as a new column. Finally the project with the highest range is returned.

Conclusion

The goal of this analysis was to take an extremely variable, context-heavy game with 208 unique cards and reduce each card to a single value through the calculation of hard variables and the averaging out of circumstantial ones. To determine the accuracy of the assessment, data from games in which every action was recorded was used to compare the total project values of all cards played by each player with their final scores.

Unfortunately the dataset used for assessment is exceptionally limited, comprising only five games, each with the same player count. It is impossible to glean much about the accuracy from this small of a sample size, yet the scant results are promising. Four out of the five games show correlation between the total project values of the players and their final scores. Within these four games, two of them show a close relationship between the ratios of the total project values and final scores.
