1. Place the board in the center of the play area: Individual side up.

2. Place the mutation tiles near the board in 4

distinct piles. These are the mutated versions

of the ice monsters that will be used during

the game.

3. Each player receives two Explorer tiles and chooses one that he/she will place face up in front of him/her. It represents his/her landing area on the planet. This tile defines his/her special ability. The other Explorer tile is placed ship side up near the central board. These face down explorer tiles will be used to assign a hand of tiles during the drafting phase.

4. Shuffle the monster tiles together. The number changes depending on the number of players (the tiles bearing a 5+ are only used in games with 5 or 6 players). Make piles of 10 tiles each, and place one pile on each player’s ship. The last piles are placed on the side.
