    Nice production on the video and good explanation. I was surprised you were able to do it so well in 34 minutes. Couple rules you missed; you forgot to draw 2 and discard 1 for your research at the end of round 15 @18:47. You also did not raise your TR when you flipped an ocean at 17:20. At 21:16 you gained the extra plants in error from nitrogen rich asteroid (you get them if you have 3 plant symbols on cards, you only have 1 in play). Finally at 28:47 you could have spent 14MC to inc heat 1 more time to win at this point.

    I played my first solo play through and completely messed it up! I thought Once I played one of my phase cards, I wasn’t able to play it again that round! Which meant I barely built anything, or gain any resources!! This helps a ton. Thank you!

    Good game, fun to watch. Kinda like I remember although I do miss the map strategy. Truly a game that could benefit from a dedicated croupier and a shoe for the cards. In finishing school when everyone else was doing lighting round mental arithmetic like that I was busy gnawing on my crayolas. Different strokes. 🖍

    Thank you for the play through, Dale. Having seen the game and owning the original, I will stick to the original. I do both the solo variant and an AI found on BGG. If I did get it, it might be to introduce the game, but not really for me.

    • @DaletheCasualGamer
      @DaletheCasualGamer  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @Bryan Scollick I think this game is more "Race for the Galaxy" than the original "Terraforming Mars", so I can see this not scratching that itch.

    At 9:00 how did your MC Production equal to 13? I know how you got "7" since your TR tracker was on 7, but how did you calculated you'd get 13MC? Wouldn't you get 9 MC instead? TR is 7 + MC Production is at 2. Where did you get that extra 6 to go with the 7 to equal 13?

    • @MyKonaRC
      @MyKonaRC 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Ok, I figured it out! Still learning the game. You had 2 MC production + the "Bonus 4MC" from the Production card. Makes sense now!

      @demo4444 I'm really not much on this style of game, and it doesn't fit my regular play group ... but I'll probably keep it for when I'm with other groups.
      Feels like a solid game, and the components and art are great. Small box, easy to teach, lots of decisions. What type of games do you generally enjoy best?

    Did you miss the extra 4MC when you played production in some of the first turns? I watched on a phone so your math was my main tool to check accuracy.
    Also very last turn looks like you had enough MC to add one more point by using UNMI's ability.
    Looks like the game went very well. That last turn seems to be where you can usually terraform as you can Production and Action to buy a ton.

    • @DaletheCasualGamer
      @DaletheCasualGamer  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @Isaak Anderson. It’s always a possibility with me. And yes, the last turn was huge … wasn’t sure I was going to make it as each round can really ramp up and copying the AI actions hurts a bit. Thanks for watching! :)
