In the Event Phasea new event is placed, in the Main Phase players act, moving their shipsand playing cards. Played cards are discarded and a new hand is drawnduring the End Phase.Event PhaseEvery turn take 1 Event from the leftmost Event Deck and placed atits corresponding Location with the Inactive side up (match the largesymbol on the Event to its Location). Events are Inactive on their firstturn in play and become Active on their second turn if they are still inplay. Any Event may be Overcome while Active or Inactive. Below is thetwo-step process of the Event Phase:1. Flip any previously placed Inactive Event onto its Active side. AnyLocation with an Active Event is considered Shut Down. If aLocation is Shut Down, Location Bonus and Key Access cannotbe used and an Embassy cannot be placed (Lunar Base LocationBonus may be used even while it is Shut Down but all other ShutDown rules apply).2. Place the top card of the left most Event Deck near its associatedLocation, Inactive side up.A Catastrophic Event works in the same way. It is Inactive on its firstturn in play. However, after 1 turn in play, a Catastrophic Event becomesactive and all Locations are considered Shut Down. Players without anEmbassy at this Location lose 2 Influence.Main PhaseFirst, remove a Cryo counter from your Architect if able.• You may use an Architect’s Cryo ability at any time during your turnif it has no Cryo counters on it. To do so, place Cryo Counters on yourArchitect equal to the Cryo Cost of the ability of your choice.Once per turn and any time during your turn you may:• Cycle 1 card from the Market (put it on the bottom of its factiondeck and reveal a new card).• Gain 1 Location Bonus from your Current Location. If you controlan Embassy at your current Location, you may gain Key Access insteadof a Location Bonus (See Terminology for more details). Credit andDefense gained may be used any time during your turn.Any number of times and any time during your turn you may:• Play cards from your hand. Card abilities are used immediatelyupon playing in the order they appear on the card. Credits andDefense may stored up for use anytime during your turn.• Overcome events. If you are at the Location of an Event you maypay Defense equal to an Event’s Defense cost to gain Influence.Collect Influence Tokens equal to the Events Influence Value. TheCurrent Player may call for Collaboration with any player at thesame location or who controls an Embassy at the Current Player’slocation. The Collaborating Players each Gain Influence equal to theamount of Defense they contributed to Overcome the Event. Then
the Collaborating Players each draw 1 card (see Terminology for moredetails).• Obtain any number of Prime Assets and/or cards from the marketfor its cost printed in the upper right corner. Obtained cards areplaced on the top of your deck. Prime Assets and Market cards maybe obtained from any location. When a card is Obtained from theMarket, immediately flip the next card in that Market deck.• Travel to new locations. Pay 2 Credits to Move to any location. Pay1 Credit if you control an Embassy at the Location you are moving to.• Pay 2 Credits to place an Embassy at your current Location.End PhasePut any cards Played into your discard pile. You may keep or discardany unplayed cards still in your hand. Draw 5 cards from your deck thendiscard down to 5 cards. If you have no cards to draw from, shuffle yourdiscard pile to create your new deck (same rules apply any time youneed to draw a card).GAME ENDThe game ends at the end of the turn after the last event is revealed. Yourscore is calculated by adding the numbers on your Influence tokens,the Influence values in the lower right corner of any cards in yourdeck (this includes cards in hand and in discard pile), and the numberof Embassies you control (one Influence for each Embassy). You willalso add any applicable Mission Bonuses if you are using the MissionsExpansion. The Player with the most Influence wins.FAQ AND EXAMPLESIf a card says “if able” all conditions must be met. Ex – “Gain Key Access ifable” means that Key Access cannot be gained at a Shut Down Location.If a card says “all players place an Embassy”, each player places anEmbassy at his/her Current Location. If a card says “all players maymove to an Adjacent Locations”, each player moves from his/herCurrent Location.Defense and Credits may be stored up and used at any time over thecourse of your turn. Ex. – You Gain one Defense from the Lunar BaseLocation Bonus. You could then move to a different Location and usethe 1 Defense gained on the Lunar Base to Overcome an event at yournew Location. All excess Defense and Credits are lost at the end of theturn.Card text resolves in order from top to bottom. If a card says “draw acard, consume a card” you must draw first then consume. This can beimportant if drawing a card forces you to shuffle your discard pile intoyour deck. However, if card says “you may” it is optional.Cards resolve immediately and other cards or abilities may not be useduntil a card is completely resolved. Ex. – Gravity Tether grants 2 Defenseand all players can place an Embassy if able. If you use the Defensebonus from Gravity Tether to Overcome an Active Event, you cannotplace an Embassy because at the time that you used the Defense fromGravity Tether, the Location was still Shut Down.
