Please play through the entire tutorial, rate it well, and send me your feedback.

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

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?
