Terraforming Mars players wanted

I was just going to ask where the game had gone. That question answered, I guess.

Dead again. Not even an update necessary to kill games any more.

Yet in the App Store it sits at the #23 board game and has a review score of 4.5. On Steam is has ā€œmostly positiveā€ reviews in the 70-80% range both all-time and recently. Iā€™m not a fan of review bombing for frivolous or non-game related reasons, but this is a game where the reviews donā€™t match the product. I donā€™t give Asmodee enough credit to believe that if reviews were poor theyā€™d actually fix it, but it is a shame that something so broken is reviewed so favorably.

I would love to get back into this, but every time I read this thread I think ā€œnahā€¦ā€

I suspect most on-line players play sync and even this shoddy piece of crap is unlikely to fall over in the course of 90 minutes. Itā€™s just the leisurely pace we enjoy is guaranteed to have something game-breaking happen during a game.

Going to give the heroku thing a try.

Clicking a link should take you to the game I started. One link per player.

Why not use BGA? TfM works well there IMHO?

It does work pretty well there

Iā€™m testing the forum to see if people like me enough.

Managed to get Earth Catapult and Anti-Gravity Technology. Truly, anything is possible. God Bless this website.

and again a long list of critical bug fixes in the recent big iOS update.
and again the question comes up how it could be playable at all before :man_shrugging:
wellā€¦ok, it wasnā€™t really playable as we all know :man_facepalming:

but look at this! can it be? is it really what i want to believe it is??

Iā€™m never going back until the app personally delivers Kirsten Dunst to my door.

If anyone wants a game, Iā€™ve played several hundred on the site and it works perfectly. My win rate has also improved because the display isnā€™t a load of shit, so be warned.

Shall weā€¦ go again?

Any other takers for a 4p game?

I mean, someone has to test it, so yes.

And with all those updates comes the inevitable mid-game hotfix that deletes the whole thingā€¦

Please can we have another tournament, as a treat. Please can we run it on https://terraforming-mars.herokuapp.com like civilised human beings, instead of an app designed to hate us, by people who throw bottles of piss at our houses while we sleep.

The BGA implementation of TfM also functions correctly and continues to be developed. Latest additions (officially in Alpha but no problems found) are the Amazonis & Vastitas maps.


Had them for a while now.
