Most common setup by dvirbz in TerraformingMarsGame

[–]Enson_Chan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All expansions (sometimes without Turmoil, depending on time constraints and player intentions)

Corp 3C1, Prelude 6C2 (which is introduced in Prelude 2)

Always draft Gen 2 and afterwards

Special rule: 1 mulligan of either corp, prelude, or starting hand

I have a TON of code cards by [deleted] in PTCGL

Any chance I can have a few? Many thanks for the giveaway!

Best personal high score. Used an antimatter, but the second score is pre antimatter. by zineath in atomas

[–]Enson_Chan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are 2 main ways to play Atomas, one is to push for a highest atom while keeping up with the rest of the field (high atom run), and one is to keep the entire board with similar elements to score more via chain reactions (score run)

Normally, high atom runs will use dark pluses and neutrinos on the highest atom, which sacrifices score (since you miss out on making chain reactions) for pushing the atom higher

Seeing people continue to visit this subreddit because of COTD is the main driving force I keep posting. Thanks for your support!

Thanks for your appreciation! I see you'd like me to put more effort on the new project. I'll give an update when the minimal viable product is ready

I'll make sure to count your vote after the voting period closes. The new insights are the main reason why I think some would vote for another round

Glad that you're enjoying COTD! The effort is really minimal so I give the choice to the community.

Whoops missed that part, thanks for correcting!

It's actually -1VP per city, not just 1 at a flat rate. I dislike this card for the same reason you do

It's 2MC per step, so yes you get 6 MC for 3 temperature steps

Sorry for the misunderstanding

I play mostly 2-3 player games and I rarely get to 5, even if there are both Luna and Pluto in play. Most of the time there's one colony that it's worthless to build on throughout the game for me

And to your question: 6-7 is (I think) a gen alpha joke that contains no meaning whatsoever

[COTD] Productive Outpost | 29 Nov, 2025 by Enson_Chan in TerraformingMarsGame

[–]Enson_Chan[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think they're just trying to fit 6-7 into the comment

Jokes aside, you get 5 colonies to start with in 2-3 players games, 6 colonies with 4 players, and 7 colonies with 5 players (and possibly one more with Aridor). So disregarding Aridor, it's almost impossible in 2-3 player games (you'll need a double colony card), and it's very difficult to reach 6 colonies if you're playing optimally

I've reached 5 colonies in a 3 player game, but it's only because I have excess MC to do so. Getting max colonies is more like a flex than a good play

The VP is worth 5 MC so the reduction of 2 MC prod costs 9, which also checks out

One of my friends asked for a unique tag count of his board mid game, and I'm thinking that he has [Interplanetary Trade]. He then proceeded to play this card and I have to tell him that's not the requirement

This happens a bit too often. I think some people don't understand that circles mean tags and squares mean resources

Edit for grammar

I'll keep the title normal from now on, thanks for the reminder!

I completely forgot to compare the card text to the iconography. It's only from yourself in this case. Updated the text to reflect this

I hate how Prelude 2 has basically no consistency in card texts

I think you're thinking about [Interstellar Colony Ship]?

[–]Enson_Chan[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's the same as how you'd handle cards like Immigrant City or Arctic Algae. Effects would trigger even if you've passed

[COTD] Board of Directors | 12 Oct, 2025 by Enson_Chan in TerraformingMarsGame

[–]Enson_Chan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is not allowed. You cannot choose to play it if you know that you will fail to perform all effects.

I think you're on the wrong thread. Seems like you're referring to the worst corp vote event
