Terraforming Mars prelude 2/Automa unboxing

[@sedraniM]

All the cards that don't show the Venus Next symbol mean that Venus Next expansion is NOT required to use these cards. You don't need to play with Venus next to use this floater card 26:26 since you can easily manage this card without VN. You don't need to play with VN to use this card either for example 29:53. You can raise ANY paramater (Venus parameter not required) but if you play with VN, you can ALSO raise the Venus paramter. This card is not weaker at all, if you play without VN.

Thanks for unboxing, interested in all expansions apart from Automa (I never play solo)

[@Animal_board_gamer]

It’s good to play solo, to help learn games. You should always play solo at least once before you introduce a game to other people. Especially if you plan to make how to play video.

Hi, the first pack that you opened has the promo cards, and that's the meaning of the bottom left, it is used for promo cards, and resources like asteroids or graphene are like animals or microbes, special resources that can only be on cards, there's a number of them since the base game, also like floaters, with were introduce in venus next, but also appear in colonies, and you don't need an expansion to play with them, unless the card says otherwise

[@Animal_board_gamer]

Thanks. Yes i realized that the graphene resources, nomad and cathedral resources didn’t require any expansion to play after I looked at them further, after the unboxing. I also guessed the the black dots meant promos after my unboxing. Good to know that for sure though, i guess i was mostly confused the promos were in the prelude 2 box. If they were not in the box i would have assumed they were the stretch goal promos.

The dividers you didn't know what they are for, they are used to divide the cards for each expansion in the Big Box! Infortune if you sleeve them, the automa won't fit there 😔

[@Animal_board_gamer]

Oh okay, don’t have the big box anyways. And no I’m not a sleever. I actually was able to fit both prelude and prelude 2 in my regular box. And I was able to put Venus next into colonies box.

This was painful. Those cards with the different tracks were meant to be inserted into that automa dual layer board. A piece of me died when you didn't do it.

[@Animal_board_gamer]

Like I said I knew nothing about automa expansion, I don’t usually know much about what I’m unboxing.
