TURN ORDER
Each player takes a turn by placing the action token on the
corresponding section of the Player Mat. You may take the
top and/or bottom action (in that order). You must choose a
different section of your Player Mat from your previous turn.
TRIUMPH TRACK
Place a star on the Triumph Track as soon as you complete one
of the requirements. Each achievement may only be awarded
once (note: there are two combat victory achievements). Once
you place a star, it cannot be lost. When a player places a sixth
star, the game immediately ends.
END GAME SCORING
Gain coins for each star on the Triumph Track, each territory
controlled, and every two resources. The amount of coins for
each is based on your position on the popularity track. The
Factory counts as three territories.
Then gain coins based on the structure bonus tile (even if you
do not control the territory). For adjacent territory bonuses,
only count each adjacent territory once.
The player with the most coins wins. Break ties (in order) by:
number of units and structures, power, popularity, resources
owned, territories controlled, and stars placed.
TURN ORDER, TRIUMPH TRACK, AND END OF GAME
CONTROL
A territory is controlled by a player if it has only that player’s
units on it or if it has its structure but no enemy units.
A territory with a structure and enemy units is controlled by
the enemy units’ player. The enemy units’ player does not
gain the structure’s abilities.
Resources on a territory are controlled by the player who
controls that territory.
FACTORY ACTION SPACES
Factory card action spaces do not give bonuses (Recruit,
Structure, etc.) that Player Mat spaces do. The factory Move
action allows one unit to move twice.
OBJECTIVES
At any time, if you complete an objective on one of your cards,
place a star on the objective space of the Triumph Track and
discard the other objective(s).
CLARIFICATIONS
RESOURCE: Food, wood, metal, or oil (not workers). You may only
use resources on territories you control to pay costs.
TERRITORY: A non-Home Base hex. The Home Base does not cont
as a territory for any game effects.
UNIT: A character, mech, or worker.
