[@JeremiahSilk]

Really interesting and useful video - I watched the Dized tutorial first, but seeing it in action helped so much. Thanks!

[@MerlinsManor]

I am glad you found my video helpful!

Very good playthrough! I can't wait to play it as well!

[@MerlinsManor]

Thanks. It is a fun game.

Great playthrough ;) i find it hard to keep track of everything myself xD I miss a lot of points and round tracker advancements.

[@MerlinsManor]

Thanks.

i started playing this game. at the beginning of the game with that corporation card, it says "play a card" don't you take a card from your hand and play it?

[@MerlinsManor]

Yes, it looks like I missed that.

[@travelinwithTODD]

@@MerlinsManor ok, just checking because i had that same card in my game and i chose a card from my hand and played it for free. i wanted to make sure i was doing it right.

[@MerlinsManor]

@travelinwithTODD You have to pay for it, which is part of why you are given so many wild tokens. You are basically getting a free action to start the game though because of this. Also, the discount will apply and you have the yellow earth die as well. This is before your production step, so the green die is not available yet. Jacob has confirmed this on BGG.

@@MerlinsManor ok, i was playing it wrong then. i just took the card! lol. i didn't end up winning anyway. thank you for the clarification.

[@MerlinsManor]

You're welcome.

When you do the production turn, do you perform all 5 steps if necessary?

[@MerlinsManor]

Yes, you perform all 5 steps.

@@MerlinsManor cool thx

Hi! Red cards played only once?

[@MerlinsManor]

Yes, Red cards are 1 time events.

grreat job, instructions say start oxygen at 2 for solo. Not a big deal, just wanted to correct it.

[@MerlinsManor]

I did start oxygen at 2% and mentioned getting oxygen from 2% to 16% in the how to win section. Plus mentioned early in the video that a difference between multiplayer and solo is in solo you start on 2% oxygen and -28 degrees temperature.

He did start at 2
