Thread: Martian Miners:: Rules:: I played it, things I didn't understand.

by DanielAjoy

I played it but I hadn't seen the pictures here.

From the rules I didn't seem clear to me how many scout-ships each player starts with. What's more, it says:

"You start by upgrading your ship to a laboratory."

So I thought it was one. That's why it took us longer to finish the game.

Also it wasn't clear that we could place scouts at intersection points of less than 4 tiles.

I played it with Stackable counters, instead of pyramids.

The thing that I missed from Catan was that I wasn't able to trade with the other players because it's just a two player game.

It was not clear how many optional actions we were allowed to make.
