How to Play Terraforming Mars the Dice Game SOLO with Playthrough

In this video, I demonstrate how to play the solo mode of Terraforming Mars the Dice Game. I start out by teaching the basics of set-up and gameplay and how you win or lose the game, and then teach more throughout a playthrough of the game.
Note: I teach the basic turn structure shortly after doing some first steps, as I get ready to take the first turn of the playthrough, but after initial steps of selecting a corporation, going over my starting cards, taking initial resources and playing the first bonus card.

Great playthrough ;) i find it hard to keep track of everything myself xD I miss a lot of points and round tracker advancements.

[@MerlinsManor]

Thanks.

Hi! Red cards played only once?

[@MerlinsManor]

Yes, Red cards are 1 time events.

[@travelinwithTODD]

i started playing this game. at the beginning of the game with that corporation card, it says "play a card" don't you take a card from your hand and play it?

[@MerlinsManor]

Yes, it looks like I missed that.

[@travelinwithTODD]

@@MerlinsManor ok, just checking because i had that same card in my game and i chose a card from my hand and played it for free. i wanted to make sure i was doing it right.

[@MerlinsManor]

@travelinwithTODD You have to pay for it, which is part of why you are given so many wild tokens. You are basically getting a free action to start the game though because of this. Also, the discount will apply and you have the yellow earth die as well. This is before your production step, so the green die is not available yet. Jacob has confirmed this on BGG.

@@MerlinsManor ok, i was playing it wrong then. i just took the card! lol. i didn't end up winning anyway. thank you for the clarification.

[@MerlinsManor]

You're welcome.

grreat job, instructions say start oxygen at 2 for solo. Not a big deal, just wanted to correct it.

[@MerlinsManor]

I did start oxygen at 2% and mentioned getting oxygen from 2% to 16% in the how to win section. Plus mentioned early in the video that a difference between multiplayer and solo is in solo you start on 2% oxygen and -28 degrees temperature.

He did start at 2
