Will die on Mars is a game created by Quentin Caprara and published by Vendômois Didier Jacobée, boss of Sweet Game editions. “ Elon Musk once said that Mars was a beautiful place to die. We decided to take it literally,” laughs Quentin who presented the game exclusively at Tonton Renard, Saturday December 7, 2024.
A game that should please everyone, young and old (from 7 years old) due to the many advantages it has. Simplicity (three short pages of rules), speed (a game lasts twenty minutes maximum), and a good dose of madness, natural for children and liberating for adults.
Players embody one of the powerful people of this world: Elon, Jeff, Kim, Xi, Donald, Vladimir, Bernard, or an extraterrestrial because everyone knows that they are already among us. They will have to be the first to build their rocket and send it, first to the Moon, then to Mars. A game based on colored or action dice, in which the liveliness of the participants competes at random… as well as the size of the hands (because the dice to be taken are numerous) or the size of the fingers (because the dice to be taken are small).
The rules are simple, well written, and pleasant to read and above all… the aesthetics of the game are remarkable. Tony Rochon, the illustrator, did an incredible job caricaturing the characters, allowing you to immediately get into the mood. He even went so far as to add a bandage to Donald's ear…
