Your turn has five steps:

1. If no more actions are available (i.e., if all 5 shield tokens have been placed), clear the action card by removing all shield tokens.

2. Select an available action.

3. Take action (any player) or collect resources (non-active players only).

4. Check for end-of-game conditions.

5. Pass the active player token clockwise.

1. Clear the Action Card

If all five shield tokens have been placed on the action card, take them all off and place them to the side of the card. You will now be able to select any action.

2. Select an Action

Place one of the shield tokens on the action card. It must be placed on an action that doesn’t already have a shield token on it. Announce which action you are selecting.

3. Take Action or Collect Resources

First, as the active player, you must either take the action you selected or choose to do nothing. Then in clockwise order, each other player must either take the action you selected or collect resources. The active player cannot choose to collect resources.
