Excellent break down of rules. You have a new subscriber. The tin symbol was intentionally made upside down in order to avoid confusion with mercury. 😉
@@kenrickfearn1448 I like it very much. The mechanics are not too complicated, but the decisions are sooooo hard :D That´s exactly what I´m looking for in a board game. I liked it much more than Cooper Island, which is a game of scarcity - you only have 5 rounds and start with 2 workers to place, that´s much much harder to work out and think through.
This video saved Trismegistus from the "throw away" :D the german Rulebook is incredibly bad. Your video teach the game perfectly! And surprise the game itself isnt that heavy, but its rulebook :D.... thank you sooo much! You will make a how to play for "On Mars" ??? =)
Thank you! I've noticed the solo comunity growing as well, and I will start creating the solo-rules videos too. And Trismegistus looks like a fresh candidate! 😀
Love your tutorials. Still need to review the rules, but when do the reaction tokens get refreshed, if at all? Also it looks like you can use completed experiments as icons for the publications?
All reaction tokens are flipped face up at the end of the round. Completed experiments - yes, based on the clarification on BGG, each experiement counts as 1 symbol of the same type.
Thank you. ☺️ It doesn't really matter. In most situations you may resolve them immediately, and then discard the token. You may leave the tokens in their place just in case more than one player would reach the same token in the same turn - all players would be eligible to get the reward. So, to make it easier - you can actually resolve them during cleanup. 😊
Hi, thank you for the explanation, really clear. You said we have to remove a white and a red die, i didn't find this info anywhere, where did you read it ? So for 4 players we have to use 5 white dice 5 red dice and 6 black dice ? Thank you again
Well, it's actually on page 3 of the rulebook - where game components are described. It says 16 custom dice, 6 black, 5 white, 5 red. However, I haven't noticed that at all, but I ran across the forum thread on BGG where someone asked about the correct number of dice. And there the game author himself confirmed that it's only 16 dice.
Wow what an impressive rules breakdown. So clear and complete. Keep up the great work. You may want to consider posting your videos on BoardGameGeek.com to get more views. Thank you!! Much appreciated.
Sorry for not realizing that you were already active on BGG. I didn’t see this video there a few days ago and made a poor assumption. Thanks again for the great video.
It's OK, no problem. :) It always takes several hours to get the video approved on BGG, and even then it's only visible when you sort the videos by "Recent". If they are arranged by "Hot", then it takes another day or two to pop up with the actual number of thumbs up.
04:48 Setup - you can use them to change the association of the mastery track with one of the essences. You can use the pre-printed ones or the dominant essences tokens.
Hello Branislav, you’re very very good to explain a game. All is said, very clearly… Man you’re the leader of the pack for me now

I'm glad you liked it. :)
Excellent break down of rules. You have a new subscriber.

Thank you! 😊 I like this game a lot!
On Mars is not on my radar, I will do a video for Kanban though when it comes out. 🙂
This was great thanks, would be good to include the solo rules also. there is a really big solo community now.... Including myself ;-)
Thank you!

Great video! I have one question though, do you resolve the bonus tokens immediately (15:11) or during cleanup (21:30)?
Thank you. ☺️ It doesn't really matter.
In most situations you may resolve them immediately, and then discard the token. You may leave the tokens in their place just in case more than one player would reach the same token in the same turn - all players would be eligible to get the reward.

Thanks. :)
And thank you for the suggestion, but I already have 30+ videos on BGG. :)

Can i complete two or more experiments in the same turn?
Yes, if you have enough material and essences, you can!
Can´t find anywhere what´s the use for the freaking "dominant essences". Help plz.
04:48 Setup - you can use them to change the association of the mastery track with one of the essences.
You can use the pre-printed ones or the dominant essences tokens.
@@nithrania-gameinanutshell Thanks a lot! Gotcha!
