Set up a 2-player game as normal with the following changes:

● Remove the following seed cards with interactive one-time benefits: 32, 35, 37, and 38; the carving Proliferation; and the factions Ria and Capen.

● Automa´s player color is gray.

● Automa is the first player. Place one of her player tokens on the 0 victory space of the Score Track. Return the other two player tokens to the box as she does not advance on the Queen’s Favor track or teach dances.

● Choose a difficulty level and do the following based upon the values shown in the table for the chosen level:

1. Automa does not get a hive mat or faction tile. Instead, place Automa’s docking mat with the normal side (or expert side for levels 5 and 6) facing up.

2. Place the Automa Gained Worker Strength token on the docking mat with the Gained Worker Strength value shown.

3. Place 3 gray workers on her docking mat with the strengths shown. The remaining gray worker is not used and may be returned to the box.

4. Place 2 yellow workers on her docking mat with the strengths shown. The two remaining yellow workers are not used and may be returned to the box.

5. Place 7 gray hibernation tokens on her docking mat.

6. Shuffle all 14 Automa cards and place them support side up, to form the Automa deck.

7. Leave space for the drawn Automa cards.
