As a clarification, at 18:03, I would add that the blue disc is moved back to the blue player board (not removed from the game). It is said later in the video, but I feel it would be useful at that time too.

I've played a couple times on Board Game Arena and I was still confused about some things. Your tutorial helped immensely. Things I learned: Population icon with an X doesn't destroy a cube, it returns it to the column. Colonization means you take the planet card and a new one takes its place. A couple issues with BGA: it automates a lot of moves. This is great if you don't know the game well, but it doesn't help you learn the game either. Also, even in full-screen mode, you can't see the entire board. You can't see how some actions work unless you look back at that part of the board which may be off screen. But thanks for the tutorial, Jon. Well done. A friend of mine just bought BTS and we may play it later this week. So looking forward to it.

I SAW MY NAME!!! @47:14 Not gonna lie, you are probably the first person to have ever spelt my last name correctly first try. Also, side bar how interested are you/this community into seeing a totally average guy painting random average minis to games? I have friends on dischord that I extend a live stream of me painting minis at my desk and I'm honestly pretty shy about it, but my friends love just watching my push paint chatting and listening to music.... I don't think it will ever be a thing that blows up, but I'm just trying to build a positive group to hang with online even if its random and doesn't have a schedule. It's just something that helps me manage stress in the Navy and keep my friends close at home while I'm away which seems to be all the time. Sorry if this comment seems about me, but I feel I can be more open here than other places. I love your work Jon!

Hi Jon. We just had our first play of this game. Everyone in the group loved it! But we all have this question mark ❓, can one research several times the same level 1 technology? And is there a limit of population cubes to place in the rectangle next to the research card? We found that we needed to take the automation actions to increase ore population production! ?
@GettingGames2 жыл бұрын
Each player can only research the same technology once, but all players can research a tech so the max is 4 for each. Automation is good for population, but a quicker way to increase it is by controlling plant planets.

I think you made a rules mistake at approximately 37:30. When you took the Wormhole technology. It specifically says you can move anywhere on the except when moving from Sol.
@GettingGames4 жыл бұрын
This was pointed out before, and I actually did it correctly. There is no restriction on where we can go with the "Immediate" part of this effect. The restriction from moving from Sol only happens when you activate the action later.
@jamiewallis27973 жыл бұрын
Fantastic tutorial. One mistake: Your wormhole option specifically said it cannot be used from Sol or Deep Space (you jumped from Sol). Based on this tutorial I have just ordered a copy :)
@GettingGames3 жыл бұрын
This wasn't actually a mistake. That restriction applies to future moves, but it doesn't apply to the "immediate" effect since you perform the immediate effects before the rest of the effects on the card.

Jon, a question. colonization is not clearly explained in rules. I assumed you could colonize at any time when you had the required power, but you seem to indicate that it can only be done by putting a worker on the terraforming spot, for example. The rulebook under ‘eligibility’ says nothing about needing a worker placed on a ‘colonize’ spot. Can you confirm this because there are no answers to this in the rules section on BGG.
@GettingGames4 жыл бұрын
Starting on page 12 the rulebook shows a long list of the actions associated with icons that show up on worker placement spots. With this in mind it seems clear to me on page 20 that when you go to an action with the colonize icon then that is when you perform the associated colonization steps.

Question here for the (at end of turn) text in the achievement cards Does it mean at the end of the turn of the player claiming the achievement or the end of the turn is after all player ahve played their turn for that round ?
@shayraecok5784 жыл бұрын
The (at end of turn) text in the achievement cards. Does it mean at the end of the turn of the player claiming the achievement or the end of the turn is after all player ahve played their turn for that round ? An example for this confusion. PLayer 1 is first player, just claimed control over two planets this turn that allows him to put two food production disks. At the same time triggering for him the Achievement to have an entire row of production's disk emptied. Can that player claim the achievement or do we need to wait for player's 2 turn to end ? BEcause if so, player 2 can come contest the claim on the planets and put the food production disk to player 1's mat. Which would mean the achievement would no longer be compelted (At end of turn)
@GettingGames4 жыл бұрын
You check for achievements after each player turn, so in your example Player 1 would indeed gain that achievement before Player 2 came in and moved some of their discs back.
