Review: Terraforming Mars

i’m in!

1 more or start?

Start!

i think we must all be friends on asmodee account before you can send invites to a private game.
i have searched for JMH.75 but “no player found for this search”.
i have found and added “ohbollox” though.
i’m JammaTal in all places.

searching through the asmodee “my buddies” list reminded me on the golden days of the GameCenter app. i could see who plays what and is in how many online games just now.
many old companions are still active and kickin’ but unfortunately not on SP.
some name dropping? just a few which i miss the most:
Gosenbach, halfvoid, Quadrasonic, tecwrtr, annie peeps, Biswut, Celeric, Clyve, Corroyeur, Crunc, Dirac, DavyRam, Emos, Icchom, Kolbex, JonathanRac, Mantheron, Muhlakai, MrPegu, Nachtfischer, onlyphoenix, porror, redturtle015, Silentbobb, vide0gamer, voina.

i have taken a screen recording video of the final scoring ceremony, but this website doesn’t accept the upload ("Sorry, the file you are trying to upload is not authorized [authorized extensions: jpg, jpeg, png, gif].)

so these screens must be enough:
final view of terraformed Mars and the scoreboard.
the video contains no additional information. just more stylish.
if you want to see it i could send it in an iMessage channel.
(contact me by PM for address exchange)

Well done! Another one?
I still see the game in my overview, but the play button does not respond anymore. Is that a (known) bug?

a kind of “placeholder” for seing the results when you weren’t last in player sequence at end of a game. not functioning yet.
will disappear after some days.

another one? sorry, for me not itm.

Anyone interested in a game?

Good game. Congrats @yellow

Thanks. Gg all. Another?

Sure, I’m up for it.

If there is one spot left, I would like to join…

@JMH.75 can take my spot. Maybe I’m too picky but the lack of replays irritates me to no end. When an app is asking me to do extra work just to get past the incompetent design, I lose interest quickly.

Great board game, though!

yup, too picky.
in most cases you get to see how a card is played and will have to look it up for close examination in the log anyway.

btw you can see the replays when you let the game reside in background.
robthomasson said: “…when I went in my game was still logged from my last turn (overnight my time) so I saw all moves in between which was nice.”

i have played some live games and could see all moves of my opponents.
ok, it’s nice, but not overwhelming for most actions and card plays.
you see temperature rising or a milestone taken or some other unspectacular move.
and in the end i found myself looking into the log when i wanted to see all actions at one glance or wanted to study the details of some cards.
so :man_shrugging:

esp in some Dire Wolf games the replays are so fast that i keep missing details. Raiders and Yellow & Yangtze, i’m looking at you!
in both games i would prefer a LOG over those replays.

Invite out

@whovian223
@JMH.75

Just realized I subbed in @JammaTal instead of @OhBollox

How quickly I forget who was in our last game. :joy:

Happy to redo the invite. Let me know!

Also the game plays up to 5p and we only have 4…

Not hard to forget when the game can’t be bothered to even show their names in the final score…

agreed on that. it’s so miserable.
and the game menu not showing who’s turn it is.
and the notifications not telling for which game they are.
ok, that’s because games are not numbered nor can have custom names.

even newcomer Evolution can do all this. shame on TfM.
