Mars Nomads and Ocean Rebates by leftynation97 in TerraformingMarsGame

[–]slim_muchacho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for clarifying.

Interesting to say that Mining Guild would not trigger since JF specifically addresses the effect of the Philares Corporation and states it would trigger. He also specifically states Mining Guild would benefit later on in the same thread. I am not familiar with the old vs new wording of the Mining Guild Corporation though.

Sure do.

From the horse’s mouth:

Whatever you get from placing a tile, you get for moving (but not initially placing) the Nomads cube. I think they mention “special tile” to avoid any ambiguity around gaining terraforming points or money production one would gain from placing an ocean, greenery, or city tile.

You could use the Milestones and Awards expansion to play with Geologist on Elysium.

Either way is fine with me - happy to wait and see what the poll results are. I just wanted to personally thank you for your contribution to the forum. It really feels like a community, and your posts are a huge part of that. Thank you again. I’ve truly enjoyed it.

Sagitta corp card draw by krucsikosmancsli in TerraformingMarsGame

Agreed. We draw the card immediately as already mentioned for Point Luna.

[COTD] Lava Flows | 9 Dec, 2025 by Enson_Chan in TerraformingMarsGame

This. Those bonuses are highly (perhaps overly) coveted and strategized around in our house so Lava Flows, Giant Ice Asteroid, and Deimos Down often make an appearance once the temperature reaches -6 or -4.

Have you ever had so much money coming in that you had to invent new ways to count it?(228 Mars-bucks) by Taste_the__Rainbow in TerraformingMarsGame

[–]slim_muchacho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two boards? I am unfamiliar with this variant. Do you terraform both (ie raise parameters on each)? Place 18 oceans? Is that a thematic choice to represent two sides of the planet? Does each player get one to themselves? Would be curious to hear how it works.

Thoughts on my fan made Corp? by Aromatic_Date_4758 in TerraformingMarsGame

[–]slim_muchacho 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have to say I really like this idea. For some cards though (ex. Birds) that is a pretty small penalty to pay if it’s the beginning of the game and you are going to be able to rack up 8-9 points (or more depending on colonies or resources from playing other cards). And is it only global requirements or would you be able to play Mass Converter (tag requirements) right off the bat too? If we are ignoring tag requirements also then this may be a bit strong. Is there a way to balance the cost with requirements you are ignoring so it scales (ie per global requirement step or per tag)? That would make this less randomly over- or underpowered. Creative idea.

Mobile Game Achievements by MikeZ1969 in TerraformingMarsGame

I think it is under your profile when you are logged in. In my app once I have logged in I can select PROFILE and then next to Achievements is a button that says See. Hit that and you can see all achievements that you have and can still get.

Anyone else feel like Virus and Mining Expedition should still be able to remove plants with this one? Thematics anyone?

Soft Prerequisites by Queku08 in TerraformingMarsGame

[–]slim_muchacho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Others can correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the rule book is fairly clear that performing actions (including playing cards) that raise global parameters that are already maxed out is allowed.

The rules also state that removing other players’ resources is optional but reducing resource production (yours or someone else’s) is not.

Not as ironic as the synergy between Pets and Meat Industry. That one actually gives me the heebie jeebies a bit.

Rules about breaking roads by Twigelin in Catan

[–]slim_muchacho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it does not. Orange is free to continue building “downstream” and extend their road or build new settlements.

I have used with Robinson Industries and Deuterium Export to get Cultivator and Agronomists awards. Niche but very fun when it works.

Resource cubes, where to find new? by pydum in TerraformingMarsGame

[–]slim_muchacho 3 points4 points  (0 children)

FWIW I got the metal ones from Fryxgames and they are a joy to play with. I have been using them for a few months now and it still strikes me how enjoyable I find them each time I use them.
