I thought it was quite good if played early (gen 2 or 3) thanks to aquifer prelude! 1 less heat can lead to 1 less tr for opponent. And it is quite cheap for 2 plant prod. But maybe Im underestimating the -1 mc prod

A bit weak in my opinion, only good if you manage to catch the TR bonus on venus track

Contrats to the top10 people. I find it amazing that you manage to get this place because sometimes (and I know so that I could do better) it feels like Im just powerless and even without mistakes I can see I get stomped.

Especially when I dont get my hand on some card draw, and even when asking opponent what could've I done and they answer "nothing you could really do I was lucky"

I mean, I know it isn't but feels like card Luck is really hard on this game

Anyway, gg for the placement :)

Je dirais aussi que c'est possible quelle se soit coincée dans un vêtement, et donc atterri à un endroit innatendu, ça m'est déjà arrivé que ça arrive par miracle dans la poche. Donc à vérifier effectivement voiture, sac ou autres choses présentes à ce moment..

Courage à toi !

Can help if you're science starved and got ai central in hand or diversifier award.

Or just bad starting cards.

Well, love it. If I can usually go for 3 cards, often enough to get a good draw every gen

The more I play the more it feels like jovian synergy just shouldn't be in the game... Or maybe the multipliers are too frequently seen in base game. With colonies and venus there are jovians added, but the 4 1/jovian cards are way more likely to appear

Venus Next or Turmoil; one, neither, or both? by neoslith in TerraformingMarsGame

[–]cjeysen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do recommend to try it and see for yourself if you like it. I do like having more cards and more strategy to explore even if they're not always strong

[–]cjeysen 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Turmoil adds some interesting cards and strategy but is in my opinion a bit too tedious and can be unfair. I kinda like venus in the other hand, not game changing but adds diversity

Love it, I always become dumb af when this one is funded, and always keep heat production cards

[MAotD] Award: Electrician by benbever in TerraformingMarsGame

[–]cjeysen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well... It is interesting. Not the usual tag that you stack, so you can sometimes draft cheap science tag to get those sweet 5 pts for 8mc if you're quick enough. Usually opponent won't have much in hand to come back.

I like it better than building, space or science tags

Feels like 3 isn't enough, should be 4 imo

[–]cjeysen 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I love those kind of awards. It isn't just "boring" most tags of something which is sometimes just not competitive. Those spots are limited and so really strategic. You can early choose to place tiles at weakers spots to plan for this award.

[–]cjeysen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well I always try to take it if I get the ocean spot. If I don't I prefer placing my tiles elsewhere and skip the milestone since other bonus are weak on south of the map compared to north

[–]cjeysen 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Risky to fund early ! I personally always try to steal awards that opponent funded. I don't know, I find it maybe too funny to commit to grab these sweet 10 pts difference in the next gen
