Other Notes & Reminders:

Use the Reference Sheet

• Main and Free Actions - note Exchange Resources, Passing, and End of Round
• Tech & Scoring Tiles
• Icon Reference - note the difference between random and specific cards, signals, & sectors

Income

• For the first round, you get the starting resources from the back of your income card, NOT the income on the front.
• Every time you tuck a card for income you immediately get that new card's resource.

Limits

• You only get 1 Main Action per turn.
• Consider spending cards for their free-action corner effect before discarding down to 4 when you pass.
• You can slot data as a free action, but your pool is limited to 6. Excess data fizzles.
• You only select 3 of the 4 Gold Scoring Tiles.
• You can't have 2 of the same tech.

Reminders

• You only pay the cost and get the mission on a card if it's played as a Main Action.
• You get the discount on a lander if ANY player has an orbiter on that planet.
• We recommend placing a marker on the point track for things that resolve at end of turn, like Scoring Tiles.
• When you Scan, you do the entire row.
