In this solo teaching playthrough of Race to Mars, we’ll build our rocket, recruit our crew, and try to reach Mars before our rival. Race to Mars is a clever engine-building and racing game split into two distinct phases. First, we stay on Earth and build our rocket and crew deck during the pre-launch phase. Then, once we finally launch, we race across the trajectory to Mars while managing hazards, asteroids, and limited resources. In this video, I’ll teach the game as we play, so by the end you should know everything you need to start playing Race to Mars yourself. In this playthrough: • Full solo game against the solo bot • Pre-launch deckbuilding and rocket construction • Post-launch race to Mars • Hazards, asteroids, and resource management explained • Learn the rules as they come up during play If you enjoy solo board game playthroughs, tutorials, and learn-to-play videos, feel free to subscribe to the channel.
