    I love how this game maximizes efficiency (which is something absolutely required if we actually planned to inhabit Mars). So instead of having different tokens for each resource they just printed them on pictures and use these cubes to count them as well as for tokens on cards, keeping track of effect and points etc. And how they use the VP track to count turns as well. Everything's pulling double duty. Maximum efficiency. So flavorful.

    FYI: Noctis City is just a regular city tile. The white city tile is reserved for The Capitol. Neither was built in the game but Aaron placed the white tile on the Noctis City space during the explanation.

    • @TorIverWilhelmsen
      @TorIverWilhelmsen 7 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Also, there is one card that explicitly states you need to build a city between two other cities, so Noctis is not the only exception. (But then again, there is a general rule that cards can break the rules)

    Finally finished watching the entire video. I know I’m late to this episode, but now I get the incredible hype. Lots to think about, but sometimes it’s rest to play a game that has a little more meat to it! I also love how you all play almost as a coop at points! My hubby and I would also feel really bad about taking everything that someone else has produced, so we would probably also end up skipping some of those cards as well.

    You are playing ocean tiles wrong with the 2 MC gain. The rule is you gain 2 MC when you place a tile next to an existing ocean. You cannot place an ocean that is now next to your plant or city, and gain MC for that. It is order specific, gain MC only when placing a tile next to an existing ocean.

    worth 1 VP for each greenery adjacent to it (regardless of

    I observed that a blue card has either an action, or an effect. When you play the card, after paying the cost, do I need to be able to pay for the action it gives (without being considered as separate action in your turn)? Or is it allowed to pay for the action when you play the card? Please help.

    • @AllAboardBoardgames
      @AllAboardBoardgames 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      When you pay for a blue card, it is now in play and you place it face down in front of you. If there is a red arrow pointing to the right, it means that you can play the actions ONLY ONCE PER GENERATION. You do not need to pay for the card again, but you do need to pay the cost of the action, if there is one. This cost is paid when you take the action of the card (which could be your second action if your first action was to play the card). After you play these cards, mark them with one of your coloured cubes, and then you remove these cubes after production at the end of the generation so the card can be played again next generation.
      If there is no red arrow, then the effect of the card is permanent for the rest of the game, after you pay for it once. Depending on the card, these effects include getting mega credits back after playing space cards, paying less credits for cards, adding animals to a card every time a city is played, getting plants when an ocean is played and so on...

    The science tags on event (red) cards, are they usable as requisite for playing other cards?
    In exemple: I have a card that requires three science tags to be played, I have two on green cards that are faceup and onde on an red card that is facedown, can I play the card??
    And also, do they (red facedown cards) count for the scientist award?

    • @amoore05
      @amoore05 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Not sure if you’ve figured this out or not, but my understanding is they do not count toward either of your scenarios. The science tag is there for the active (blue) cards that may provide a benefit (e.g., pay less MC for science cards, for each science event played gain X reward). Thematically, think of events as happening and they are done, all of the other cards played are things that are built, so those tags will stay around.

      It does count as a city, but not as a city on Mars. For instance, Immigration shuttles and Pets cards says cities, but Rover construction and Railway say cities on Mars - in other terms, cities placed directly on Mars, not on various moons, Venus, Mercury etc.

      AFAIK that only applies to the three "city spaces" (Noctis and the two moon cities), the cards that name other regions (i.e. the volcano eruption) names several of the bolded region names for that reason, so you can erupt elsewhere if someone have built a city or forest on one of them.

      no, you pay the card ONCE when you play it (put it on the table face up), then each generation you can use its "power" as an action for free. Some actions might need some resources but that will be written on the card.

      I don’t have the cards to hand but generally if it’s a selectable action (as opposed to an automatic), the cost is to the left of the red arrow, the outcome to the right. If there’s nothing to the left of the arrow then it doesn’t cost anything to perform the action, it’s only the MC cost to bring the card into play in the first place.

    Does all resource production start on step 1 on the beginning of the game ?!
    I have the steam computer game, and there the players start on step 0, if not told otherwize.

    • @Wustenfuchs109
      @Wustenfuchs109 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      It starts at 0, but with 1 it speeds up the game, similar to the "Prelude" expansion. It basically gives you 9+ worth of M$ production right from the start. 1M$ + 2M$ (steel) + 3M$(titanium) + 3-4M$ (plant) and then power and heat that speed up your TR process and is basically an extra 14M$ in starting credits. So, as you can see, it can really speed up the game, especially in the early generations.
      But it is a two sided blade. While it does speed up the game and makes it more accessible to the new players, it can in fact prolong/dilute the game because now you have more resources early on to invest in many things instead of focusing.
      Long story short, starting with a production of 1 is not bad... depending on the group you are playing with. I'd suggest you don't do it and instead buy a "Prelude" expansion if possible. It allows the much needed speed boost to the game while also retaining the general feel of the game.

    Just making sure I understood the turn structure... When it's your turn you can take 0,1, or 2 actions, but once you take 0 actions you are out for that generation, and when everyone has taken 0 actions, the round/generation is over (convert excess energy to heat, get income)?

    • @omegonchris
      @omegonchris 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Broadly, yes. The turn structure is as follows: 1) Pass the first player token and move the generation marker up one (skip during the first turn) 2) Deal (or draft, if using that variant) 4 cards to each player, and then each player can choose how many of those cards they wish to add to their hand, at a cost of 3 MegaCredits per card 3) Take the main action phase, in which, in turn order, each player takes either 1 or 2 actions OR passes. When you pass, you can not come back in, you have finished your actions for this generation. When all players have passed, the generation is over. 4) Transsfer all of your current energy to heat, and then production occurs, then remove your player cubes from any blue cards you took the action of during that generation.

      From memory, red squares (production or resource) affect to that number from any player (yourself included although I can’t think why you’d want to) or combination of players, but it’s all completely optional. So taking three could all come from the same player, or one from one player and two from another, or one each from two players and not take the third, or not take any at all.. or any other combo.

    • @pdrohberg
      @pdrohberg 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Both answers are incorrect. While removing resources from any player is optional, production is not. If no player has 2 plant production you can't play the card at all. A reason to choose yourself is if you're the only one with the needed production and the card is important enough.

    • @Wustenfuchs109
      @Wustenfuchs109 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I don't think that the problem will be complexity - it is not complex actually. The problem for casual group is that the game lasts too long for some casual playthrough. 4-5 player games can go on for hours, and it is simply not something that casual gaming groups are willing to put in - casual gamers usually go for 1h per party. I have a group that likes long and complex games... but even we, after some time, considered taking out TM for game night as a chore and opted for something faster.
      Hate to say it, but we had way more fun with good old Carcassonne, for example. Fast to set up, simple, interactive enough to be fun no matter who's turn it is, finishes quickly. TM take time to set up (especially with all the expansions), lots of parts and things to do but with simple railroaded mechanics, not giving any width to your play... and it can last long.
      Euro games are a bit slower, but I think that a good Euro game should feel like a puzzle - you are in a problem and you have to figure out how to get out of it with the resources at hand.
      So, if your group is casual, consider something else - not because the game is difficult, complicated or bad - because it is none of those things - but because it is not for a casual fun playthrough with lots of laughs and talking between players. It is more of a grind where, by the end, you cheer for yourself for managing to get the right cards at the right time while spending the entire game calculating numbers instead of talking with your friends around the table.

      You've probably found an answer as your comment is 2 months old, but in case you didn't or someone else comes along - the requirement on the card is always MINIMAL requirement if explicitly not stated that it is MAXIMUM. So, if a card has 2 oceans as requirement, that means at least 2 oceans. Same goes with temperature, oxygen, tags etc. So it is either AT LEAST (MINIMUM), or MAXIMUM when requirements are considered, but for maximum you will see on the card that it says "max" before the requirement. If a card says max 2 oceans, then it means that you can play the card as long as there are less than 3 oceans on the board.
