Red Planet Farming: thinking through a Martian farm

Red Planet Farming

Reviews enjoy the planning and decisions of a Martian farm. Choosing what to grow and where offers an entry point for people interested in thinking through a small farm rather than busy manual chores.

What makes it fun

  1. Plan where crops go

    Each year, you choose crops and decide which plots to plant them in. Planning the layout and food production for a Martian outpost is part of the fun.

  2. Rethink the next outpost

    As the population grows, outposts in other regions unlock with new crops and technology. Changes in what you can use give you a reason to rethink your farm layout.
