I LOVED this play through! You were making so many MC, that's insane! I was worried about my play through because by the dummy players third turn I did not have a lot of heat or oxygen being made, but I was also running a fairly heavy MC engine. I ended up being able to buy my way through everything (with a lot of meteorite help!), but it was a nail biter! I thought I was doing the production wrong, but I got the gist of it eventually. Overall, TM: Ares Expedition is great! I'm ready for the next play through! P.S.: I ended up with 58 TR! I did play on novice, so that does help a first time player. I also had Tardigrades, which gave me an additional 6 TR at the end. Such a great game!

@49:53 the missing MC production was because you forgot to add the extra MC production for the earth tag of the Cartel card itself because of the other MC producing card (if that makes sense 😅) Very nice playthrough Colin 👍 (even though you cheated yourself out of quite some early MC and card draws 😜)

Nice job Colin. Out of 6 solo plays Ive only won once, and Im still not sure I played it 100% correctly. The card that lets you buy standard actions for 4 less seemed crucial to buy my way to victory. Ive also never mulliganed my opening hand I didnt realize that was an advanced variant.

Great playthrough Colin, as always! I have to honestly say of all playthroughs on YT yours are the most enjoyable! Love this game and I did back the upcoming expansion(s) including the playmats which I missed the first time.;) Theres on,y one thing I don’t like in the solo mode: the Dummy player being second in choosing the phase. About 33% of the time I waste phases cause I’m so unlucky (unlike you! :)) another dummy player „chooses“ the same phase…
@OneStopCoopShop2 жыл бұрын
Well thank you very much and I totally agree! It is random too so no way for you to make a determination on what phase the dummy player will choose. It will be interesting to see what the expansions provide!

I find this one is easier n more likely to get to the table then my Big (& rather heavy) Box of TM. Because it just scales less (scope n parts etc) Both are fun just depends on if u want a more involved game (w All Expansions - TM) or the more streamline version (no drafting, no generation rounds etc (Ares)

Nice one Colin. Not heard of Ares Expedition, and must have totally missed Mike's playthrough. I'm not sure if I would prefer this version to the standard Terraforming Mars. Really enjoyed watching Jakob's solo playthroughs (I forget the name of his channel with his little pal Draco, so if you or a viewer could tell me the channel name so I can re-subscribe I'd be grateful) What was the reasoning for the makeover? Ares Expedition looks like it could be more streamlined, but still has a lot of moving parts. Either way it still has that combolicious engine building, I love how the resources start off slow then ramp up as the game grows. Really cool! Any way thanks for another fun playthrough, even if there weren't many plants! lol

No, he had 2 cards that each produced MC based on the number of earth tags. This is checked during production, not just when the card is played so any additional earth tags will also increase production of the card. Therefore, each card was producing 6 MC at the time. He is correct.

I'm not great at the game so you might want to ask on BGG. But for me I always prioritize MC generation because it can buy you anything. Also card draw for production is amazing as it allows you to add options while also producing money etc. Try not to pay for expensive cars early as it will take forever to get Mc production then. Those are my suggestions!!
