FFG picked up Mission Red Planet
I've been tracking this game for awhile now. I'm not crazy about the art direction, but otherwise this looks promising.

The FFG edition looks like the visual designer was allergic to steam punk but couldn't come up with an evocative style, so they decided to make the fonts more generic and the character designs look more like contemporary cartoons.

I'd love to see more BGG announcements in this style.

I don't hate the new artwork, but it's not great. For me it is certainly a step down. I do think the way the rocket-ship cards fit onto the launch pad is a neat little graphic design touch. Having astronaut minis is a big upgrade. I'm also very interested in some of the rule tweaks for this new edition. Mission: Red Planet is one of my all time favorites and I'll probably pick this up AND hang onto the bad-ass original version. Anyone looking for an area control game with a mean streak like a drunken abusive uncle will be happy with the game. It's a great game that deserves to be in print.

I like the original but If memory serves this is the game Ken Bradford chose to play in his maiden voyage to the Barnes Atlanta game group and it didn't go over very well.
Also, I believe this is the game that Tom Vasel reviewed and said the box cover was hard to get off and was later lampooned for that silly remark, which of course he deserved.
