All good things come to an end. In this case though, we ought to be happy, not sad – for today Portal Games officially releases First Martians board game on the US market. Yay! WE would like to use this opportunity to tell you about Early Launch Event, that just ended.
First Martians Early Launch Event summary
We are extremely happy, humbled even, by your reception of the First Martians. And by your, we mean of course our dedicated fans, who were visiting their Friendly Local Game Stores. And we mean those FLGS, all places, that participated in our Retailer Support Program and allowed us to make this event happen. We would also like to thank all news outlets, bloggers and vloggers, who covered that event and helped us reach many, many fans.
Early Launch event was a great success on many levels. We have releases additional content for our First Martians app, we have made couple of videos, a livestream, new scenario and many other cool stuff. We take great pride and joy in delivering you a quality board gaming content and we are grateful for you recognition of that. Without going too much into detail, we can say, that we have sold most of our first print of First Martians.
Thank you all.

REMOVAL scenario, solo with 2 astronauts, tried to keep the malf. tracks below 5 – bad idea. MCEI suggests new plan. #FMEarlyLaunch @trzewik pic.twitter.com/grmdCAEFTK

Still working on Removal. This needs to stay on the app longer, so I can actually win the scenario. #FMEarlyLaunch pic.twitter.com/ox5pKh9qBD

We lost poor Froggy on Sol 1, but still managed to pull out a win with a Probe gone rogue. #FMEarlyLaunch pic.twitter.com/3ekQzpQZ71
