This was so helpful! My wife & I read the rules together & played our 1st game this week, but it just felt off based on our previous experience with the original TM game. After watching this video I see we were playing a few things incorrectly that made the game seem harder than it should be (a few of the rules were unclear to us and your explanation was different from our assumptions). Much appreciated! I'm now looking forward to trying it again.

Excellent video as always. Saw this on sale recently and heard good things, so wanted to check out how it plays. I wasn't a fan of Terraforming Mars as a bit too much is going on for my tastes. This looks to fix some of those issues, and there is a good expansion that turns it into co-op play which is good to have as a back up play.

12:12 Thanks for that, cause it was not clear in the rulebook and I messed up my first game. Watch out in the rulebook about the Development Phase. It doesn't mention at all that you get to move the markers right away. In the example with Bob on page 13, they don't mention that he also gets to move his marker for Heat by 3. They don't mention it except that you get the Lightning icon. But if you go further into the book page 15, suddenly they mention that Bob had already moved those markers on his player board when he played those cards. Anyway, for newbies like me who messed up lol

This is my favorite thing about this version of TM. I love Roll For The Galaxy so much, and I'm happy that another game is using that phase selection mechanism. My buddy has the original Terraforming Mars, and it's as good a game as it is hyped to be. But I love that we can get the same theme in a smaller bite, and add in a mechanism that I love. Yay!

Thank you, but I have a specific question regarding where to put the cubes on my playing card... You said that the section on the left is your production capability and the bigger space on the right is for what you actually have. However I guess I need an explanation of the terms on the card. I'm looking at the Space Heaters green project card for the example. It says in the ability section "during the production phase this produces two heats". In this case do I add two heats to the big square on the right or do I increase my production rate to 2 on the left side? Would love an example of each scenario! Thank you!

It's a bit tricky to explain the specifics of cards, since I don't have the game in front of me, but I can refer to the video to help. If you go to here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hMiinsmmxMi6coE.htmlfeature=shared&t=732 this shows an example explains that benefits with diagonal lines behind them specifically adjust your production tracks. If there are other cards on screen you want to ask about, provide a time stamp and I'll see if I can help.

Hello. Great video. I am a bit stuck on one aspect though! Do you take you corporation MC during the production phase? The instructions read "each player collects resources equal to the production on their green cards, corporation card, and place on the TR track". So if my corporation card granted me 51 MC at the start of the game do I also take this in the production phase?
@WatchItPlayed
@WatchItPlayed 2 жыл бұрын
The MC value in the top right corner of your Corporation Card is your "starting" resources, and you only collect those once, at the beginning of the game. If your Corporation shows the normal symbol for MC production in the bottom left (like you find on other cards), then that contributes to the MC you gain each turn.

I love the rftg-style phase selection and more forgiving card economy, but I do wish there was a little more depth to the central terraforming board. I'll have to give it a play sometime and see what it's like.

Thanks for the great video! It definitely helped clear up a few things. My only other question is, during the Research phase, in what order do players draw cards? Since all players draw, the order the cards are drawn would matter. Does the player who played the Research card draw first and then proceed clockwise? Who would draw first if more than one player chooses the Research phase? Thanks for your help!

Hi Wendy, since the deck is shuffled, it doesn't really matter what order the cards are drawn in (You know what I mean? You're meant to get a random card, not a specific card). However, if you're more comfortable with the idea that "the card 3rd down should be my card, since we should be following some kind of turn order", then just have the players draw in some order that you decide at the start of the game - but in terms of the rules of the game, it doesn't matter.

The setup describes splitting the draw decks so that one is in range of all player. What we do is just shuffle, divide into roughly equal decks, and put near each person so each has their "own" draw pile.
