Some new project and corporation cards allow players to upgrade their phase cards. Milestones are worth 3 VP at the end of the game. They are granted to the player to first achieve the milestone. Milestones are VP that are awarded during the game. The player with the most of that item earns 5VP, second place earns 2VP. Three awards are drawn at the beginning of the game so that players know what they will be rewarded for at the end of the game.

Each turn that a Crisis card is not completely dealt with, it will lower one or more of the terraforming metrics that keep Mars habitable. Every round, a new Crisis card will be drawn that will require the players to achieve a certain goal to remove that crisis from play.

Players will play as corporations, just as in the original Ares Expedition.
