"At 25:56 is a reference to getting an Award by matching the color of the Award die. Actually you need to match the icon on that die to the cost on played cards to count towards earning the Award. (see also at 1:13:02 - don't count how many blue dice are in your production que, but count how many energy icons are shown in the cost of all your played cards)
At 32:15 the bonus is a C icon on a red die. You do not gain a red die and roll it.
At 33:16 you don't actually get the green die when you gain the bonus card. You get the dice only when you do a Production action."
Terraforming Mars: The Dice Game, is a card driven dice game where players use special dice to develop their corporations and terraform Mars into a new home for humanity. The dice represent resources that players spend to play cards and perform other actions. During the game you increase your production of dice, you terraform and place cities and greenery tiles on the board and gain various bonuses. Each turn, you either produce new dice (Production Turn) or perform actions (Action Turn).
Whenever you terraform Mars (raise oxygen or temperature, or place an ocean tile), you gain 2 Victory Points (VP). You can also gain VP for placing tiles and playing cards, as well as winning Awards and Milestones.
The game ends when 2 of the 3 global parameters have been completed (oxygen/temperature/ocean). The player with most VP wins the game.

Good going Julie you almost won! Was great to see her excited while playing the game. Great sample play. I have yet to read the rules but was unaware the already in play dice do not get rolled. Nice strategic element. It's also nice you can use dice that you cannot use for other purposes. That's a nice touch. Thanks for the vid and have a great evening!

Thank you for taking the time to support us. Yes, Julie loves this game and will likely make her top ten 2023 games.

Thank you for the HOW TO video ... the game is very interesting but there are very few tutorial or how to videos about the game! Thank you!

You are welcome. Thank you for watching.

same as in the no dice version Milestones and Awards are so valuable

@37:10 and at @59:20 julie could have both gotten the milestones. At 37 min by just rolling 2 yellown dice and get 6 of one color, and at 59 min tapping her blue card to change 2 die to play her blue card om the bottem right that would give her 16 points and got the Milestone first. That would give her the win. Nice playthrough though 😄

@3:15 has a fairly major error.
Its not production of that colour you check at end game. Its cards with that symbol played

[@GamesRuleDoctor]

Yes, see pinned comment above. Thank you for the additional time code and for watching.

[@jeremydrover5969]

@@GamesRuleDoctor I didnt see that. 👍

TM is good but in my opinion there's too much non-dice stuff in this dice game...
