Every card is a decision
Only uncovered, face-up cards can be selected. Build a building for its benefits, sell the card for coins, or use it to build one of your great structures. Taking a card may reveal a new opportunity for your opponent.
Three paths to victory
Push the conflict marker to the last space on your opponent’s side or collect six different scientific symbols to win immediately. If neither player does so, points decide the winner after three eras.
One turn, several possibilities
Take a resource, strengthen your army or build a great structure? Each card changes the options for both players. Develop your own strategy and spot the moment to change your plans.
