“Mars. It’s a rock.” Nice
A few more actions that you can do that are vital to winning: claim a milestone (5 to choose from, but only 3 can be claimed and it's first-come, first-served) or activate an award (5 to choose from, but only 3 can be activated; only gets resolved at the end of the game, so you could accidentally give an opponent points).
I may have played this game about 100 times. Many of those solo. Either that makes it a great game, or i'm some kinda weird obsessive.
I have bought SW armada and xwing before but this is my first proper (no miniature) boardgame I bought thanks to the review. Its a bit complex for me but im loving it so much, also helps im a science geek lol, thank you for this video.
Have you also played the mobile version? Is it faithful and as much fun as the physical version?
Can blimps with plants inside the cargo hold be sent to Mars to exchange with the Martian atmosphere? Not one big blimp but many small blimps with whip cream size containers of compressed hydrogen that will decompress into the blimps and lift the blimps into the atmosphere. After the carbon is taken out of the CO2 and just oxygen is in the atmosphere have tiny remote pins that will stick a tiny hole in the balloons allowing the hydrogen in the balloon out to mix with the oxygen making water vapor.
Want about Venus's upper atmosphere also?

Could rockoons make it possible to sending equipment cheaper and also equipment that is not aerodynamic?

TM with draft and prelude expansion is in my top 3 board games right now. I even like most of the art... 😅 Dual layer player boards, or another solution, is a must.
Or both.
Wauw. Didn't knew that 3min would make me know enough of the game, but it did. Nice video!
Also, scrolling through the comments, love the fact that you keep answering on comments even though this video is already a couple of years old. Keep up the work! :)
Ha! One of the reasons I do the channel is i like talking about board games :) So i do try to stay on top of the comments and especially any questions
Best channel (the only one?) for game overviews, hands down.
PD: Love the mysterious music, it's spot on.
These videos are awesome! How have i not seen this channel before
We've only been around for a year and a bit. But welcome to the channel Frankie :)
Thank you for this great intro to the game
I'm in the minority but I like the artwork because it looks straight out of a science textbook, which makes sense considering the designer is a university professor.
I really don't mind it at all as well. Some of the more cliparty stuff is a little weak, but most of it is fine.
Yeah its not great but it fits the science educational vibe of the game
I love this video. First I love your short videos. Second I learned Terraforming Mars is probably not for me. But Third I learned that I need to find a game I can magnetize!
3 great takeaways from that vid. Awesome
Good job! Subscribed.
Love this game, one of my favourites. Played many times with friends. However, we never managed to even scratch the 2-hour-mark. I wonder how people do that.
yeah, we had a 2 1/2 hour game with 5 people. That's the longest one ive played
@@3MBG the LONGEST? That's wild. We need to step up our game.
3 Minute Board Games how long is it when you play solo?
@@vinnie2099 I almost exclusively play solo on the app. So thats not a great indicator.
Agree. The times I've played it (3p) it took us around 4h, one time even 6h!
An alternative to magnetising the boards is to invest in a broken token organiser. It's a bit pricey but we play this game a lot and it has added to our enjoyment.
Yeah, its a pretty popular solution to it. I fortunately had all the materials for magnetizing the game here, due to my model painting hobby. (I had a game with mechs you could swap arms on, so i used magnets to do that)
@@3MBG Just saw your other video on why you played this game so much. Thanks for sharing and stay strong bro!
Cheers Chami, that video was an experience to make :)
Could you explain this magnet fix for the score/production keeping cards?? Did you glue little magnets to the cubes?? Very cool tip you showed there just love to see how you did it
Yep, small rare earth magnets that i used in miniature modelling. Then i put some magnetic material behind the board, the same sort of stuff they use in fridge magnets.
Finally played this for the first time. I totally thrashed the others :p
Where can I find more about the optional card drafting you mentioned at the end of the video?
One of the last pages in the rulebook
How did you do the magnetic player board thing? Just ordered this and seeing some unboxing videos and reviews of the game, it seems as though not having a magnetic player board is going to be a nightmare!
www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/1952164/article/28537247#28537247
I personally used magnetic rubber instead of sheet metal (the kind of rubber fridge magnets are made of)
Language dependency meter - should you pick a copy in another language? 2/5p
Icon/colour/number dependent, text dependent, reading dependent - 1p
Minimal private information / Minimal verbal communication - 0p
Available rule book in different languages - 1p
Zero cultural/political aggression - 1p
Multiple modern mechanisms - (-1)p
Most cards can be understood without reading, but some can't. Possible, but not recommended.
What card sleeves do you usually use?
FFG or ultra pro ones. FFG for clear, ultra pro for coloured backs
Hey, you have an awesome channel and i love your videos. I have some questions about this game though: How did u magnetize the board? And are the pieces magnets or metal already? They look like plastic. Thanks
Right, so its a 3 part operation. The pieces are plastic, and the board is cardboard. So you have to create the magnetic effect using two different materials.
First, you get a strip of "adhesive magnetic rubber". The same stuff fridge magnets are made of, and adhere it to the back of the board. It doesn't need to be the whole board, just the middle part if you want.
Second, you laminate the board
Finally, you get a small batch of mini "neodymium rare earth magnets", and super glue them to some pieces. I only did 6 per player to act as the "ones" digit for each resource.
Google adhesive magnetic rubber and neodymium rare earth magnets to find a seller near you. I got mine from model craft shops.
awesome, thanks!
Liked. Subscribed-All. :-) thanks!
Would you recommend this game for two players. I am about to buy and I am wondering... thanks
Yes, although 2 player can sometime get to a point where one player just keeps running up the score. Because of the way the game ends.
I think it is very stimulating as 2 player game. Works very well imo. But takes a bit longer to finish it usualy. (At least more generations)
Hello! I’ve been playing this game for years and sent your video to a friend to get them to play. I’m curious though - why do you turn the red card events over once they’re played? Obviously these have tags on them so can be used if you get a card that says ‘increase production for every earth tag you have’ or ‘1m for every space tag’.... I’m pretty sure in the rule book it doesn’t say you have to turn them over?
Tags on event cards only count as they are being played. You dont get their benefits later on. Rulebook, page 10, section 3
3 Minute Board Games wow! Who knew! Completely missed that one. I don’t understand why there are cards though that say ‘get 1m for every event ever played’ - it seems like a redundant card then because you never see those tags as they are only on red cards 🤷🏼♀️
You can still count the total events in that case. So its total face down cards. But yeah, tags on reds dont count.
3 Minute Board Games that makes sense! Thanks for the revelation! I’ll make sure I read the rules carefully from now haha.
Hey, i make plenty of errors on vids and with rules. Plenty of them.So no shame from me to you :)
What is a good beginner's engine building game? I love my top 100 shirt by the way. Very nice.
Ah, cheers. Mine arrived recently too and I wore it out to a friends birthday party. Good beginners engine builder? Probably splendor, centruy spice road or for something a little more meaty, its a wonderful world.
I feel that the iconography in race for the Galaxy makes it more complex then TM. Have taught TM to players that subsequently loved it, cant get anyone excited about race.
I believe they are about to do a 2nd edition of Race with an overhaul to how it looks as thats a common issue people have.
Never understood this complaint. How is it difficult? Most of the cards have text anyway. And the icons are pretty straight forward if not.
What's the solo mode like? I love this game but I dont get much chance to play with other people
I play the solo game a lot, and i mean a lot. I've logged 400 plays, so take my thoughts with a grain of salt. Its a great solo game, but it is about completing a goal in a certain time frame, there is no opponent, its just a puzzle to solve. Now i personally love the puzzle, but if you like automa solo modes it might not work for you
@@3MBG thankyou! Sounds good to me
@@3MBG Hi there, thanks for the video. Do you typically play this game solo using the physical game or do you play the digital version? Any thoughts on the digital version? I have a physical copy but am wondering if it is worth getting the digital version.
@@jayplays568 I solo play the app a lot. Its fine for solo, but the multiplayer is pretty janky.
@@jayplays568 I'm recording a vid on solo games right now by the way, so stay tuned. I also talk about the terraforming mars app in my vid about "steam games"
Just played it first time. Really cool game but - though I never thought I'd care much for that, the beyond-awful artwork/design was simply off putting, it was like watching a movie with a great screenplay and student-quality cinematography. Real shame, cause otherwise it's a really awesome game.
I kinda liked it.
This arrives Wednesday!
Nice! Hope you enjoy it
i like the basic clipart, it adds to the corporate feel.
i can get that, but to counter, do a google image search for my game on mars "Red Dust Rebellion" for my take on mars art :)
I wish they would update the art work and card design, I'd be more interested in playing it at that point.
Stupid question, I guess... about your magnetization: I understand that you glued a magnet sheet under the cheap cardboard dashboard provided by the game, but, what makes the cubes themselves stick to the magnet? They're plastic! Did you cut out tiny little pieces of foil and glued them to each individual cube? o_0
Small neodymium magnets + super glue. The exact same magnets i used in this project here vom-krieg.blogspot.com/2013/04/relic-magnetic-bases.html
3 Minute Board Games thanks!
@@steeveleonard7584 I only made 6 for each player by the way
@@3MBG Ah...okay, not too long to do then.
I am unable to get the hang of it😭😭
"Maws"
Wouldn't it be allot more realistic to produce sustainable life harboring vessels in space orbiting the Sun itself? Seems allot easier than terraforming an entire celestial body to me. Also, with enough self reliant groups of space faring humans, you could all but guarantee the survival of our species for next, idk, google years. Just a thought.
Possibly, or Venus may even be easier for those vessels. Terraforming mars itself is monumental. One thing i like in the game is each turn is about 20-25 years. So the game takes place over 3-400 years.
I'm a new subscriptor because of PorZD. Haha
ProZD is the best. Love that guy
I've seen on Amazon that there's a premium pack version. What's the difference between them? I want to buy but I need to know first.
Sorry, this ended up in spam for some reason. I cant seem to find any reference to a Terraforming Mars premium pack anywhere.
3 Minute Board Games np. Thank you so much :)
Yeah, sorry I couldn't have been of more help.
Great videos! Even if this game is not for me after few tries. Too long and boring.
OH NO YOU ARE NOT
Just wait until i get that dipole shield up and the L1 point. Hahahaha. Take that Mars!
hey
yes?
who else is watching this bc this is FREE on epic games right now?
Lol, about 400 people in the last few hours
@@3MBG thanks for the video!
totally up my alley. but the artwork ruins it for me.
Yeah, its a bit of a Millennium Falcon game (Doesn't look like much, but has it where it counts)
Anybody still believing humans can “terraform” Mars.. esp when humans struggle to fight covid ?? 😬😖
We didn't struggle here. All under control :) Not everywhere has the same covid experience, thats for sure.
3 Minute Board Games 🤣😂😅😂🤣😂😅😂🤣😂😂😂😂🤣
Theyre not sending anti maskers up there bud. They send people who believe in science.
@@mitchellmayer6326lol
This game needs updated art so bad. Looks bland
Yeah it really does. Its one reason i insisted the Mars game I'm designing has awesome and striking art
i actually like it. its have some geeky charm.
This game looks horribly boring
Yeah, nah
This comment is horribly wrong
Sounds like you’re projecting xD
