This is a good starting point but a few additions that I would recommend:
  • There should be an example of using converters, not just a brief description of what they do
  • The last turn should be described in more detail i.e. current turn rotation is finished such that every player gets an equal number of turns
  • Should mention how tie breakers work
  • Explicitly make the distinction between "Pick" and "draw" for triggering gizmos as this is a common point of confusion
  • Some of the jumping forward feels a bit unexpected/awkward. Whenever actions are automatically performed this should be mentioned in dialogs
Thanks for putting this together!

Agreed! I'd also add:

- When we buy the upgrade, it was a little bit confusing to me why the card said "+2" research, and the dialog says we'll be able to get 3.
- I'm not sure if it is usual for tutorials to show examples of the end of the game, but I thought maybe you could show it. Your tutorial was my first time with this game, and I got out of it not feeling confident I knew exactly how the game ends. This could be just a "me" issue, but I thougth it was worth telling you.

Other than that, great tutorial! I finished it feeling overall confident I knew how to play the game. And your excitement showed up on the dialogs, wich made me want to play the game even more!

(Hope my feedback wasn't cofusing :lol: if so, feel free to ask me anything)
Thanks for your job!

Hi, the tutorial seems broken to me? It works fine up until the point when I have to build the Gizmo with 3 red energies, and clicking on the build button doesn't do anything, the tutorial is stuck there.

Something happened partway through this tutorial; it just sped through the play automatically and so fast I couldn't see what the turns were.

It still gets stuck on this move. Any chance the tutorial will get fixed?
