Just got into this game on Steam and iOS. Really appreciate the depth you guys go into. It’s helped a lot after my first few games of just randomly winging it. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Norman! TM is awesome! Enjoy!
Excellent video with very helpful advice and strategies!
Great video guys.
Excellent strategic breakdown and advice. You folks know what you're talking about and thanks for helping us elevate our game!
Thanks Kory!
You also get 1 TP for the water placement along with the 2 card draw. :) That means +1 gold/tern(long term investment). Meaning if you do it on 1st or 2nd round you look at a good return on this investment.
Decent move if you don't have anything good to play.
P.s. Great video.
Thank you for creating it!
"Wouldn't be the first time." #WeAreNotWrong BSF, great video guys, thanks!
Just discovered this channel. Nice stuff guys.
I don't know if you included the prelude cards in this analysis or not (actually I'm not sure if the expansion was even out when this video was recorded), but depending on what you get with them, I'd say going for a milestone in generation 1-2 is also a viable option, especially if you see the opportunity to grab two.
I'd also mention that the preludes make the 1st few generations a bit more forgivable because you usually get a decent boost to your starting engine.
Also, I love the hot potato drafts when everyone is competent.
Hey Pij, thanks for the comment! We don't usually play with Preludes. In the 3 or 4 times that we have tried, one person completely ran away with the game on the basis of the prelude liing up with their starting corp an hand in a very synergistic way. This could just be a sample size problem though.
@@cardboardfrommars2264 I believe it is sample size, although this does happen every now and then, the same as a great opening hand. More often than not I end up with preludes that have 0 synergy with both my corporation and my cards :D
@@Pijetlo91 Haha! Well, the prelude cards just look cool, so I want to sleeve them up a bit more. I may give them another try.
@@cardboardfrommars2264 If you do that, would you consider making a video about them? I have a feeling that they have a huge impact on not just the priorities, but the value of certain cards as well. Cheers
13:30: but the problem is that often the oceans are already over or 8/9 when temperature reaches 0°C.
Hi! How would you rank the expansions? I've heard prelude is a must but I wanna hear the opinion of proplayers!
Well, not sure I would consider myself a pro... lol. I'm not huge fan of the expansions (except for the different boards - hellas and ellysium), and actually preludes is my least favorite, but there are widely differing views on this topic, and I have no problem with people who love the expansions.
27:10 I don’t get the whole “when you draw a card it’s worth 4 credits”
Cause yes, you buy a card for 3 credits. But you can sell the card for 1 credit. It’s still worth 3 credits, not 4 right? Cause the 1 credit is an alternative disposal cost. It never becomes worth 4
"I'm sure as soon as we're done with this video, there will be a gazillion comments in the comment section. . ."
This feels ridiculously nitpicky, but you guys talk about sacrificing 3 credits for a risky card. It's really only 2, because every card is a credit if you end up needing to bail on it.
Hey Jeremy. Great point. Not nitpicky at all. 33% is a lot!
27:25: wait, what? I don't understand how the actual value of a card becomes "4", nonsense.
You're not the best players of this game anywhere?
I must be the only person that thinks this game has to much of a luck factor (even with the draft) if your opponent picks the right corporation and gets lucky with the cards you lose...
Hey Argiry! Thanks for the comment. I oscillate a bit on how much of a factor I believe luck to be in this game. There is definitely a component of luck as are all card games. However, skill is a major factor. For example, Q has beaten me 4/5 tries, and I almost always win when I play other CFM members! Hahahahahahah! I've also won something like 12 straight matches online. In a group of mixed skilled players, the best player will usually win. When all players are of equal skill, luck plays a larger factor.
@@cardboardfrommars2264 skill definitely plays a role I remember a 2- player game where my opponent had I believe 8- 9 jovian tags while he had 2-3 cards that score jovian tags as points. He just kept pulling jovian tags lol when playing against a lucky opponent then you'll notice how much of an advantage lick has.
@@argirypanagopoulos8928 Yeah, I am also not a fan of two player TM. I agree that luck is a much larger factor in head to head play. TM really requires a third player so that 2 players can reign in a third with a broken start.
@@argirypanagopoulos8928 Yup, it is basically all luck. Because what passes as skill here is not actually skill but familiarity with the game. I just had a game a few days ago, 3 guys TOTAL NEWCOMERS to boardgaming - didn't play anything more complicated than Risk or Monopoly. To one guy I was always talking which cards to buy... and that was pretty much it. He ended up blasting us all by 10 points at least (until the next best player) and that was the guy with two milestones and two awards.
How come? Simple - luck. And the "skill" he needed was just to know what sort of cards are in the game - nothing more. That "skill" could have been acquired if I allowed all 3 of them to go through the entire deck carefully. That is not a skill, that is people being familiar with the game they are playing.
And I am a veteran player - I go with all expansions and when luck sort of looks us all the same, I generally win but by a few points. So again, even if it does not feel like luck, it still is - when it is but a few points between players of equal "skill", then it is the sign that it's luck again.
Let me repeat, a guy completely new to boardgaming in general, who only half understood the game beaten us all (some by 20+ points) by only being told which out of 4 cards to buy. I didn't tell him when to play them, or how... just should he buy them or not.
So, the argument that it is skill that is important in TM is bollocks. I mean I thought skill is important until I actually had games with total newbies where you see that no amount of skill can beat a lucky draw. It is all about luck - as is the case in any card game like that.
That's why it is not really important who wins - might as well be a dice throw. It is just the fun o the journey to the end, see how well you can make your combos work with your luck of the draw.
@@Wustenfuchs109 that's why I gave it a 2 on BGG I feel like the game is broken when it comes to that... pull the right cards when you need them and if the other guy gets a few bad pulls himself it's pretty much game after that. Usually what happens in my game (2 players) my opponent gets all the action cards that allow you to draw more cards I will pass and he will continue to do 4-5+ more turns after that then next generation its 6-7+ more turns then next its 8-9+ so by 4-5 generations later I give up and just pass cause the fun has stopped for me when I haven't played anything in 20 minutes and my opponent has 55 MC 4 steel 4 titanium 8 plants 3 energy and 12 heat all because he gets the draw card actions. It's a broken game fundamentally in my opinion but I guess it has its moments In the first 3 generations especially the beginning with the prelude cards and the corporations it dies down quickly after that.
