#Captain's Log, entry 37

When we set out, I thought this mission was a wild goose chase, but now that we are so close, I think this actually might be worth all the effort the Corporation has made. I have been looking over the photos the probe sent from the canyon and I must admit, there definitely is something buried under the surface. I am glad the Corporation trusted me with this endeavor. The crew is a bit on edge, but it is understandable, this has never been done before. We should be landing in a few days, and I can't wait for the digging to begin. Sadly, other corps have also found the resources to launch their own missions, so this will be a race. I am certain we will succeed.

Humanity is on the verge of its biggest discovery. A probe sent down to one of the canyons on Mars, has found clues that the depths of the planet contain extraordinary objects of unknown origins. Back on Earth, only a handful of corporations have the means to actually send someone to find these objects and bring them back. You run one of these corporations.
Outplay your rivals and gain the most fortune, and you will make history. In 'Dig Mars' you explore a canyon on Mars, dig the ground and carry away the treasures, thus gaining fortune points. Use the fortune points to upgrade your equipment in order to dig through more difficult ground and terrain, carry more difficult treasures and expand your expedition fleet. Your aim is to be the first to get a certain amount of points.
