Take part in a galactic adventure and mine valuable minerals on Mars and its moon Phobos. Slingshot to Mars is a combination of skill and tactical thinking. Players launch their ship into orbit in a plastic circular track and spend action points to place a magnet to stop at a certain point. The track sits on top of the board in order to find the best mining spots and use your ship upgrades to gain advantages. The game ends when all the minerals have been collected, and the player with the highest total score wins.
