The Game That Won't End | Gen 13 at 700+ Elo — Terraforming Mars BGA

High-level Terraforming Mars on Board Game Arena — and the game goes to generation 13. Among players rated 600+ Elo, only 3.5% of games ever reach gen 13. The average high-level game ends at gen 10. This one just keeps going. Full commentary on a competitive 2-player Terraforming Mars game where I face x0_StarK69, one of the strongest players on BGA (peak Elo 787, top 25 ranked). What makes this game unusual isn't just the length — it's the resource pressure. When you can't lean on standard projects to bail yourself out, every MC decision compounds. This is a lesson in playing tight under sustained poverty across a marathon game. Key moments and takeaways: — Managing a long game when you have limited ability to SP out — Playing extremely tight when you're poor: sequencing and prioritization — The Vitor award decision: when to fund in an unclear board state — How two strong players read each other's positions across 13 gens About the players: — Anthracite (Corvus Mortis on BGA): #2 ranked, peak Elo 825 — x0_StarK69: Top 25, peak Elo 787 — Format: 2-player, Preludes ON, Colonies OFF (standard competitive) Rarity stat: only 3.5% of games between 600+ Elo players ever go to generation 13, based on analysis of 166,000+ competitive BGA games.
