In this video series I go through all the base-game cards and rate them based on their strength and combo potential. Do you agree with my ratings? If not, let me know in the comments!
Rating Scheme:
S: gamebreakingly strong in most situations or never pass
A: gamebreakingly strong in some situations, very strong otherwise or cannot be passed sometimes
B: very strong in some situations, strong otherwise or avoid passing
C: strong in some situations, mediocre otherwise or avoid passing in some situations
D: mediocre in some situations, weak otherwise
F: complete garbage
Whyyy?!?: Why does this card exist? Delete it immediately!
All ratings so far can be found in this Google Doc: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gzE-QwRTxsyb8T-B_y-VHu677-_wFnBUcYHz7I1k3cs/edit?usp=sharing

I watched this series since the beggining. There is a comment from me in the very first video (old username pestilence). Thanks a lot for this top tier content and for finishing the series, this is a incredible source even for experienced players. I learned a lot with your videos, best TM channel. Looking forward for the expansions.
Sad this series is ending. Can't wait for expansions!
The final episode!!
Don't cry because it's finished, be happy because it's happened
Thank you for the help and the tips during these months
Great series, definitely improved my overall gameplay having a better sense of value of cards! Thanks for the content
Wave power and Windmills I think I have only ever played with colonies to get that 3 energy for trading. I agree with what you said about them, with colonies they are slightly better
Thank you for an amazing series! Been watching this since I started playing TFM and it's formed a core understanding of my game & it's fundamentals. Looking forward to more content from you 🙂
Don't Virus me, bro. :, D
I have watched all 41 of your videos about rating all the base game cards. I absolutely enjoy the content and learned a lot! BUT: 'Security Fleet' is one of the best (if not THE best) cards in the game together with 'Underground Detonations'. You really have to think about this again i think. I dont know if this Chanel should rather call itself MarsApprentice. Just my two cents though…
Thanks! Good job! And I mostly agree with everything you rated. Waiting for the expansion editions.
Mont of the time I agree but there are important variability with the player count between 1 to 5.
Good job, thanks
