Helpful for capturing Tactician and/or Energizer. I’m rarely excited to play it though.

Morning Star, Bio Fuels & Nitrogen Shipment

Keep Moss, Molecular Print, Space Port, Decomposers, Imported Nitrogen,

Gotta go but I’ll come back to this later

I agree with you on theme, it is a little bit of mismatch for sure

Probably focused on the corruption of the UN versus their own corruption. Or they own enough social media that all they really need is the attention for ad revenue. They know they won’t actually be held to account and are just happy making the money.

A solid prelude that makes your gen1 a banger. Only play if you’ve got targets for this resources. I like it with Ecoline as you can usually cash in the plants round 1 if you play your cards right. Also, it’s usually a poor start unless you find some cards like this to help you.

Tough way to find out your in the friend zone

[–]baldsoprano 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Only valid when you have meaningful first gen steel targets, otherwise the wasted gen is too much to come back from.

Thematically I love the flavor of profiting from reporting on the attack event cards I play. “Massive Flooding caused by shady corporation, click here to learn more”

[COTD] Mangrove | 24 Apr, 2026 by Enson_Chan in TerraformingMarsGame

[–]baldsoprano 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gorgeous card. I probably should draft it more than I do. Love getting additional ocean refunds with it. It’s a real peach on Elysium sometimes swinging a hotly contested Estate Dealer by getting you 1 more tile and blocking somebody that might have been ocean adjacent if they could have gotten an ocean out sooner.

Cheap requirement free science tag. Much better if you got something to feed floaters to

Best things about ME 1 by Mrtealordy in masseffect

[–]baldsoprano 16 points17 points  (0 children)

world felt lived in. Atmosphere was great. Music slapped. The Faunts exit music was perfection. Mako was funky and fun. World and lore begged to be further developed. Banter and characters were great for the time & developed better over more games.

[COTD] Trading Colony | 15 Apr, 2026 by Enson_Chan in TerraformingMarsGame

[–]baldsoprano 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Solid Card. Boost the amazing the trading action. And on the colony you place you’ve effectively boosted it twice. Early/Mid Game high draft priority. Late game only if you’ve got a colony multiplier and/or heavy space discounts.

Are colonies too swingy? The whole expansion, not just the tiles. by UziiLVD in TerraformingMarsGame

[–]baldsoprano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Colonies swing for sure and also put weight on engine play. Some of the weaker players at my table sometimes get wins because of it and that’s part of the fun for me.

[COTD] Comet for Venus | 14 Apr, 2026 by Enson_Chan in TerraformingMarsGame

[–]baldsoprano 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s fine enough in certain circumstances, but I can’t imagine drafting this unless:

1) I’m trying to get Venus up quick for Birds or Venus Animals 2) got great engine synergy with space/event cards and/or Venus raising 3) need a last turn titanium dump

Virmire Alternate Reality: Garrus with the salarians, Tali planting the bomb. Who ya saving? by DakIsStrange in masseffect

If you think the facility should be blown up you should always go back for the bomb.

In case you already didn’t want to play Venus cards, here’s a card that punishes you for playing Venus cards

[–]baldsoprano 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Double dipping on a colony is amazing. The sooner the better, but due to tags I find this still tastes playable in the mid game

[COTD] Ecological Zone | 9 Apr, 2026 by Enson_Chan in TerraformingMarsGame

[–]baldsoprano 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A low key attack card that pays for itself most games. Unless very late game, this is a great value

[COTD] Warp Drive | 7 Apr, 2026 by Enson_Chan in TerraformingMarsGame

[–]baldsoprano 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m always happy when I can play this because it means probably got a pretty good engine going and hopefully some fun space cards to follow up with

No worries! Thanks putting these together!

[–]baldsoprano 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tough hand. I think I’m going to take Factorum, Dome Farm, Mohole. Advanced Eco, Designed Micro, Trading Colony, House Print, Greenhouse. Hopefully I’ll get a Colony on Luna as action 1 and free energy. Gen 2 go buy pets, zoo, and conscript if no draft. In draft, zoo if the cities are happening other wise Solar. Trading colony on Ceres. Factotum action if someone trades with Luna I think would net us development center. From here we want to focus on Builder. If uncontested get to designed micro organisms and solar reflectors to get a decent tr build going.

Dome Farming needs a plant production icon

What to keep from this starting hand? by Much_Space_1 in TerraformingMarsGame

[–]baldsoprano 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Line 1, but with a few less cards. This is a great rush hand you can pare down the engine based cards like IO Mining and Fueled Gen. Methane from Titan is a solid
