History of games with game results and another requests for next patch
Hi Asmodee,
i'm with Mars since very beginig.
In the beginig it was just painfull to play Mars because of the bugs.
Now it seems much better, thank you Asmodee for this.
But "game experience" is still poor.

When I feel pain from the game?

1) If i run out of time DO NOT kick me from the game. I want to see how the game ended. replace me with AI, but let me see the game progress. It is really painfull to miss the results of the game.
2) Kick out AFK players. Add AFK timer: 5 minutes with no action -> kick out. These bastards ruins a lot of good games. And AFK should significantly impact players karma.
3) Timer works strange. My turn did not start, i see the animation of teh opponent cards but timer is on me already, and my time count. The same during the darft, i pick the card, but my timer is on. Find a way how to optimize it, maybe to show anumation as soon as opponent have played the card?
4) Add "auto pass" button. For example i did my 1 or 2 actions and i want to END the turn completely, but i have to wait untill my opponents finish their turn and only after i can push "pass" button. Just waste of time.
5) Add information about the playres. I want to see with whom i play, i would like to see Nickname, Corporation, Rating and Karma.
6) Add history of the games. I want to see the log with whom i played, the resullts of the game, the rating changes from the each particular game.

I love the Terraforming Mars, and i hope it will become better.

I feel you, I've had plenty of players just stop doing anything once they realized they can't win...after 1½ hour games and I find it stupid to just make a list of players not to play with.

I agree almost completely. Point 4 though...

The thing is, if that is a flaw at all, it is a flaw of the actual boardgame, for such are the rules: whenever a player does at least one action, the other players are not supposed to know in advance that he has no further actions before his next turn comes. It is that way by design.

That said, once all the other players have passed, then it’s really pointless and annoying to mantain the “two actions / pass” structure of the turn: it should immediately become an uninterrupted string of actions just like in solo mode.

Another suggestion

One thing I would love to see in the future is the possibility to see which games are happening (the public ones) and be able to just watch them, the same way it is possible in other games, e. g. Ticket to Ride.
