First Martians - How To Play

In this video, we're going to learn how to play First Martians! If you have any comments or questions, please do not hesitate to post them in the YouTube comments below. NOTE: During the setup, I mention that you put out one less greenhouse and plant than the number of players. This was an intended change to the app at one point, so the video was created to reflect that, in anticipation of the change occurring. The design team later decided not to make this change, so now you should start with as many greenhouse and plants as the number of players. Sorry for any confusion that might have caused!
