How to Play On Mars - Official Tutorial from Gaming Rules!

watched this a few times now and only just realized the little movie box at the top right changes

Ok yes excellent work, we couldn't have learned this game without you. But let's talk about the dvds. Is that something you always do and we've just never noticed? We were highly amused and kept calling out when it changed.

설명 잘해주시네요 잘보고갑니다

The best explanation of On Mars that one could have ever made. After trying to figure out how to play the game myself and to teach my friend later on, I realised how much effort was put in to make this video, The explanation is so streamlined and answer all of the questions that I had when I was reading the rule book myself.

You Sir, are a machine :) Such a complex game explained crystal clear (as always). Each aspect is shown in great detail. I'm getting my copy tomorrow. I enjoyed this video a lot, and will probably be coming back to it for reference a lot. Thanks!

I have never seen such great tutorial videos for boardgames in my whole life!

What do you think of Gaia Project? Ever played it?

Also, the British accent sounds so wholesome to my German ears! The guys from the US always sound like a bunch of dying frogs in a pond.

Keep up the great work!

Thank you so much, Paul. Awesome explanation! Amazing how you manage to structure this huge amount of information in a way that (even) I can follow. Great work! :)

Nice work! Very helpful!

Perfect explanation, thanx a lot!

Paul if you use a private ship to travel to orbit, are you allowed then to gain resources from your advanced buildings and can you replace workers from action slots and working area?! It seems like this is not written down anywhere very clearly. Me and my group seem to struggle with this everytime we play

Great video. Also, I do believe I saw the cover for War of the Worlds, as narrated by the one and only Richard Burton. Classic. Let’s go Thunder Child.

Vital Lacerda and Paul Grogan: name a more iconic duo. Thanks, legend!

I got the game but what they didn’t tell me is that it would come with missing pieces a true work of art

Amazing excellent tutorial... thanks a lot for that!

Re-watching this again in 2022 for my 2nd game after a long search for my own copy! Thanks Paul for the rulebook as well as the tutorial!!

Amazing rules! Clear and helpful!

Thank you!

Absolute legend Paul! Absolute legend

Thanks to this video I'm more than willing to power through for this monster of a game. Just waiting for my copy to finally arrive. Thanks!

Walked past you at the UK Games Expo and bought On Mars right at that stand you were near :) Didn't say hi, as I didn't want to bother you. But I'm definitely watching your rules explanation. Good stuff.

Echoing all the comments here. Fantastic tutorial. Thanks Paul!

This is a great explanation video for a very complicated game. Nice work!

Well done! Well organized, clearly presented and full of helpful visual cues. Excellent work, Paul!

I watch a lot of channels and this was the most concise explanation of this game.

Brilliant stuff Paul, just about to play for the first time. I have not felt so intimidated about learning a game for years but as usual you've produced a brilliant tutorial. Intimidation has turned to excitement.

Wow, Paul what an outstanding teach. I feel like I could play this game now

God have mercy :S

Applause you very much!

Hi Paul, can you give me any good tips about writing a rule book please. I'm always creating new games but struggle to write the rules properly.

Really good How To Play breakdown. Nice work. Love how the movie on the shelf changed. (The Martian, Total Recall, Red Planet etc…) Nice touch! :)

Very well done video for a highly complicated game. Thanks for taking the time to do this and clearly pushing through the process of wrapping one's head around all the intricacies.

This is one of the best online gaming tutorials I have ever seen for any game. Great job.

Are there any limitations as to which executive actions you can perform depending on which side of the board you are on? Example, can you only use a build/upgrade executive action if you are on the colony side?

Great video but use of Scientists should have been more covered

Excellent Tutorial. We just recognized some mistakes from the first round we played. Thanks Paul.

This is a masterful explanation! Perhaps the best board game how-to I've ever watched!

Thank you Paul for this great video!

In the setup - how is order for placing and revealing starting buldings? First reveal starting building on the map, or first players places their starting shelter (and starting buildings are unrevealed)?

I don't even want to play this anymore based on the sheer amount of setup! XD

Read the rule book. Watched the video. Ready. Set. Solo.

I have this game at home for almost a year now but we never touched it with my gaming group of friends because the rules are just so overwhelming and there is just sooo much info to swallow at once. Such a shame, game was expensive and it looks nice. Unfortunately not even this 45 minute long video made it easier. It's still too much.

Yes....exemplary teaching.

thank you paul. you are great!

Is this the KS version? Wondering if that blueprint board is included in the retail version

This was an amazing rules explanation dude, nice job.

I personally think I could never got how to play the game without this video, just by the rulebook. Best regards from Russia!

Paul, sorry if this has been asked before. When the end game is triggered you say finish this round then play another round. Does the round consist of one turn for every player or does a round consist of a number of turns depending on where the shuttle is positioned. In other words if the Shuttle is at 3 do we each get another three turns after the end game was triggered or do we only get one more turn no matter where the shuttle is? Thanks in advance.
