A game of Newton is played over 6 rounds, each of which is divided into 2 phases:

the Action phase and the End Round phase.

At the end of each round you will move one of the cards you have played under your desk: this card can no longer be played during the game, but the symbol on it will increase the value of that action when it is performed by other cards later in the game. Players receive Victory Points in the following ways: as an immediate bonus, as income during the game, or from Objective tiles and Master cards at the end of the game.
