Yes

Yes

2-player co-op mode is available.

Score

You win the game by having the most VP.

Raising parameters

Each time you raise the temperature, the oxygen level, or flip an ocean tile, your TR increases.

Discounts

Steel and titanium capabilities make cards with building and space tags cheaper to play. They do not produce any resources during the production phase.

Reference

Project cards can have up to three tags on them, which can be referenced by some cards' effects. Steel and titanium capabilities make cards with building and space tags cheaper to play.

Resources

In the event of a tie, the tied player with the most heat, MC, and plant resources added together is the winner.

Capping parameters

Game ends after the phase when the parameters were capped.

Actions

Ocean tiles can be flipped with a standard action for 15 mega credits. Effects on cards can be used for flipping ocean tiles as well.

2 or 5

You get to draw 2 cards and keep 1, unless this phase was chosen by you. In that case you would draw 5 cards and keep 2.

Income and VP

Players get mega credits equal to their TR (+ mega credit production) during the production phase. TR is converted to victory points (VP) at the end of the game.

Yes

Number of standard actions players can take are not limited.

Construction Phase

During the construction phase, each player may play one blue or one red project card from their hand by paying its cost. If you chose this phase, you can either: Draw a card before or after playing a card this phase OR you may play an additional blue or red card this phase.

Development Phase

During the development phase, each player may play one green project card from their hand by paying its cost.

10 cards

Each player discards down to ten cards in hand during the end step. Players may have over 1o cards in hand during the round before.

Discarding for 3MC

You can discard cards from your hand at any time and get 3 mega credits per card discarded. A reminder is printed on each player board next to the card production track.

Usually no

This is the additional effect that you will resolve during this phase only if you selected this phase this round.

All players

This is the effect that all players will resolve during this phase.

No

Tags have no inherent value but are mentioned in the ability section of many cards.

Automated cards

Green cards have resources that are gained in the production phase or have steel/ titanium capabilities which are used to reduce the cost of playing certain cards.

Events

Red cards have effects that happen immediately and do not provide any additional impact after they are played, other than the tags they provide that can be referenced by other cards.

Active cards

Blue cards either have effects that trigger when certain things happen or actions that can be used during the action phase.

Card requirements

Certain cards will require the oxygen or temperature to be in certain color zones.

No one

Players resolve each phase simultaneously.
