A 60 miles an hour dust storm is whistling around the small Mars base, pulling at the airlock, shaking the whole station side to side and blowing over the tiny buildings with a deep rumbling sound, while the computer equipment fans quietly hum away in the background and a random bleep from one of the monitoring systems indicates that our communications channels to Earth are still down. No, this isn't a review of one of the many Mars themed games available these days, but an idea of how you might set the scene for everyone when playing one of those games, because in this article I want to talk about how you could create a thematic atmosphere when playing board games with your friends.

In certain scenes, I've used Sigur Ros, Daughter, Patrick O'Hearn, and others.
However, there is one soundtrack that fits a boardgame like peanut butter and jelly: the Blade Runner soundtrack (bootleg version if you can find it) and Android. First time I played the game with my group, they fell in love with it, primarily because of the theme but the soundtrack definitely helped.

If your group gets tired of hearing that multiple times during a game of Android, there are a surprising quantity of decent synthwave mixes on YouTube, in anticipation of the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 game.

They don't, actually, which is weird. Me, I can listen to that OST all day long and not get tired of it. If they ever do, I will take up your suggestion.
