• For this game, you will need:
• A game board
• Two countdown tokens
• Four round markers
• Twenty-eight genetic components
• Forty station module tiles
• Twenty-two perk cards
• Lots of coin tokens
• Lots of food tokens
• A start player marker
• Four score markers
• Four double-sided player mats
• Twenty-four worker tops/bottoms
• Four research markers
• Six starting resource cards

Let’s Set Up the Game

Before we begin, let’s get everything ready. Here’s what you need to do:

1. Place the game board in the center of the table. This is where all the action will happen.

2. Give each player a double-sided player mat. This mat will help keep track of their resources and workers.

3. Shuffle the starting resource cards and deal one to each player. These cards will give the players their starting resources.

4. Set aside enough coin tokens and food tokens within everyone’s reach. You’ll need plenty of these throughout the game.

5. Place the round markers and research markers next to the game board. These will be used to track the progress of the game.

6. Place the score markers within everyone’s reach. These markers will keep track of each player’s score.

7. Shuffle the perk cards and place them face-down near the game board. These cards will offer special abilities and advantages.

8. Stack the genetic components neatly within reach. You’ll need these to perform experiments and make discoveries.

9. Stack the station module tiles face-up next to the game board. These tiles represent different areas of the game board that you can interact with.

10. Give each player a countdown token. They will use this token to track the rounds as they progress.

11. Lastly, determine who will be the start player and give them the start player marker.

Once you’ve completed these steps, you’re ready to begin the game! Have fun exploring and discovering the wonders of genetics!

Hey there! Did you know that a place in the center of the table can be quite important? It’s not just a simple spot for your plate and utensils, but it holds a deeper significance. Let me explain.

Okay, here’s what you need to do:

First, put the countdown tokens in order, starting with the number 1 on top. Make sure they’re over slot B of the Command Hub.

Next, place the 4 round markers on the board.

Then, take the 28 genetic components and put them in a pile near the board.

After that, grab the 40 station module tiles and put them face down near the Reactor section of the board. Take 6 of these tiles and place them face up in the Reactor spaces on the board.

Lastly, shuffle the perk cards and deal 3 of them face up near the board.

Hey there! Let me walk you through the setup process for the game. It’s really simple, so don’t worry!

First things first, we need to take care of the coin tokens. You’ll find them in a supply pile right near the game board. Now, here’s the interesting part – coins are unlimited! So, if by any chance we run out of them, no worries! You can always use some other substitute.

Next up, let’s handle the food tokens. Again, you’ll find them in a supply pile near the board. Just like the coins, food is also unlimited! So, in case we run out, you can just grab something else to replace them – problem solved!

Now, it’s time to decide who gets to be the start player. We’ll pick this player randomly! Once we’ve chosen the lucky soul, they will be given the marker. Exciting, right?

Okay, almost there! We also need to place one score marker for each player on the 10 space of the score track. That’s where those markers belong!

Lastly, each player will receive a double-sided player mat. Oh, and here’s a tip: for your first game, it’s best to use side A of the mat. This way, everyone will start on equal footing. Side B, on the other hand, is for the more experienced players. It has some unique player powers!

When it’s time to set up your game, there are a few important things to keep in mind. First, you’ll need to make sure each player has the right worker tops and bottoms. These should match the color of their player mat. If you’re playing with 3 or 4 players, you’ll need to return 1 or 2 of each worker to the box. The number depends on the number of players: 1 worker for each player when playing with 3 players, and 2 workers for each player when playing with 4 players.

Next, you’ll need to form each player’s initial worker pool. This is the group of workers that they’ll use throughout the game. The number of workers in the initial pool also depends on the number of players. For 2 players, each player gets 4 workers. For 3 players, each player gets 3 workers. And for 4 players, each player gets 2 workers.

Finally, each player will need research markers. These markers will be placed on the “start” tier of the research track on their player board. Make sure each player has one research marker.

Hey there! Let me tell you what to do when starting a game of N hand. First, you need to distribute 6 resource cards to the player sitting to the right of the start player. Make sure you only use the cards specified for the number of players you have. And don’t forget to return any extra cards back to the box!

• If you have 2 or more players, use the 2+ cards.
• If you have 3 or more players, use the 2+ and 3+ cards.
• If you have 4 or more players, use all of the cards.

First, the player to my right (who will play last in round 1) picks one of the starting resource cards and passes the rest to me (going counter-clockwise).

We each choose one and pass the rest to my right until I pick a card. We put the cards we didn’t choose back in the box.

Now, I get to take the resources that are shown on my starting resource card. If my card shows a research symbol, I get to move my research marker to tier 1 of the research track and immediately claim the reward (on side A, that will be a perk). Make sure to save your starting resource card! You’ll be able to use it later to flush the Reactor.

Let the Game Begin

Hello there! Today, I want to share with you all about Chimera Station, an exciting game that I’ve been playing. It’s a game that takes place over 5 rounds, and each round has different phases. Let’s dive in and explore!

The Placement Phase

First things first – let’s talk about the placement phase. During this phase, we take turns placing our workers on different spots. It starts with the start player and goes around the table clockwise. You have three options for where to place your worker:

1. A module
2. The splicing lab
3. The worker lounge

When you place your worker, you immediately get to apply its effect or gain its benefit. It’s like a little boost to help you on your adventure.

Modules are these cool hexagonal spaces on the board or your perk cards that give you all sorts of advantages. One important thing to remember is that you can’t put a worker on an already occupied module, unless you’re using a claw worker. Sneaky little claws!

The Splicing Lab is a cool feature that lets me mix and match components from my pool and attach them to the worker I put there. I have three spaces available in the lab, but I can only have one worker in each space. It’s like building a custom team!

In the Worker Lounge, I don’t have any limits on how many workers I can place. This is where I can earn some rewards. Each worker I put here gets either 1 food or 1 coin. It’s a great place to stock up on resources.

Oh, and here’s a neat trick: the components I attach to my workers can have special effects when I place them on the board. It’s like giving my worker superpowers! But here’s the catch: if I don’t have any workers in my pool when it’s my turn to place, I have to sit out and miss a turn. So it’s important to always have some workers ready to go.

Once all the players have placed all their workers, the placement Phase is over. It’s like a race to see who can strategize and place their workers the best.

But wait, there’s a rule I have to follow! I can only place my worker in a space if I can actually fulfill the effects of that space. So if a module says I need coins to buy something, and I don’t have any coins, I can’t place my worker there. It’s a little disappointing, but rules are rules.

So, in a nutshell, the Splicing Lab and the Worker Lounge are key parts of this game. They let me customize my workers and earn rewards. Just remember, always have some workers ready to go, and make sure you can fulfill the requirements of a module before placing a worker there. Good luck!

Hey there! Let’s talk about the Splicing Lab phase. It’s something you need to keep in mind when working with components. Speaking of components, did you know that you have to splice at least 1 of them if you want to place it in the lab? Yep, that’s right!

So, what’s the deal with the Splicing Lab phase?

When it’s time for the Splicing Lab Phase, I’ll be one of the workers going back into the lab. We’ll go in alphabetical order, starting with slot A. I can choose any legal space to place myself, except for the Splicing Lab.

If something happens during the Splicing Lab Phase and I end up with an extra worker in my pool, I’ll have to place them before the next Splicing Lab slot is resolved. Just remember, no workers are allowed in the Splicing Lab during this Phase!

Here’s a story for you: Andy and Beth are both scientists working in a lab. Andy’s worker is assigned to slot A, while Beth’s worker is in slot B.

Now, let’s talk about the Splicing Lab Phase. In this phase, Andy gets to do something really cool. He takes his worker from slot A and puts it in the laboratory. This helps him advance his research track to tier 3, which is pretty impressive. Plus, he even earns an extra worker – talk about a win!

But here’s the twist. Since Andy now has an extra worker in his pool, he gets to go first before Beth. So he’ll place this new worker before Beth gets a chance to put her worker from slot B in.

Isn’t it interesting how the order of things can make such a difference? It just goes to show how important it is to keep track of who does what, when, and where. Science can be full of surprises, but if you pay attention and stay on top of things, you can come out ahead.

So, remember this story the next time you find yourself in a lab. You never know when the order of workers might give you that extra advantage. Keep exploring, keep experimenting, and keep pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. Happy splicing!

If I only had 2 pieces of food, not only would I lose the single thing I’m attached to, but I would also lose 2 points.

Time to Eat

First, let me explain how the Feeding Phase works. During this phase, you need to take back your workers from the board and put them back into your worker pool. However, there’s a catch – you have to pay 1 food for each worker you have in your pool.

Now, if you don’t have enough food to feed your workers, things get a bit complicated. For each food that you are short, you’ll have to give up one of the components that are attached to your workers. These components will go back to the general supply. But what happens if you don’t have any components? Well, in that case, you’ll lose 2 points for each food that you’re short.

Example: I have 4 workers, 3 of them don’t have any components and 1 of them has one component. When it’s time to feed them, I must pay 4 food. But I only have 3 food, so I have to take the component away from one of my workers and give it back to the supply.

Station Report

Hey there, let me fill you in on the latest station progress. Exciting stuff!

First things first. The station has been making great strides. You wouldn’t believe how far we’ve come. But let’s dive right into the details.

Now, I’ll be honest with you. The station’s journey hasn’t always been a smooth ride. We’ve faced our fair share of challenges. But guess what? We’re overcoming them one step at a time.

You might be wondering, “What’s the current status?” Well, let me tell you, it’s looking pretty promising. We’ve made significant headway and we’re closer than ever to achieving our goals.

It’s no secret that progress can sometimes be a tricky thing to measure. There are various factors at play, and it’s important to consider them all. But here’s the thing, my friend. We’ve done just that. We’ve taken all the necessary steps to ensure we’re on the right track.

And let me tell you, it hasn’t been easy. But we’ve persevered. We’ve put in the time and effort to understand the ins and outs of this station’s progress. It’s been a learning experience, one that we wouldn’t trade for anything.

So, all in all, things are looking up. We’re moving forward, making strides, and learning from every step we take. And that’s what it’s all about, isn’t it? Progress is a journey, and we’re excited to see where it takes us.

Now, I know this report might not answer all your burning questions. But hey, that’s what progress is all about, right? It keeps us on our toes, always striving for more.

So, hang in there, my friend. We’re making progress, and we’re taking you along for the ride. Exciting times lie ahead, and we can’t wait to share them with you.

Every round (except for round 1), I start by removing the round marker on the round track.

For rounds 2, 3, and 5, things in the game change to show the progress of the station. Here’s what happens:

Round 2:

• I remove the first countdown token.

Round 3:

• I remove the second countdown token. Now I can use Slot B of the Command Hub.
• Three new perks are dealt out and added to the supply (now there are 6 cards in the supply).
• I move up one tier on my research track. If more than one player earns a perk card because of this, we choose them in turn order, starting with the first player.
• From now on, I earn double the points for building modules.

Round 5:

• Let’s deal out three new perks and add them to the supply. Now we’ll have 6 or more cards in the supply.
• I’m going to advance one tier on my research track. If multiple players earn a perk card because of this, we’ll choose them in turn order, starting with the player who goes first.
• Starting now, we’re going to triple the points awarded for building modules.

Genetic Components

Genetic components, also known as components, help make our workers special. Each worker can have a maximum of 2 components attached to them. Usually, these components are attached at the Splicing Lab.

We can mix and match components together, but if we have two of the same component, our worker will get an extra boost in a specific area.

If I perform an action and there are no components left in the supply, I’ll score 2 points instead.

Brains

Brains allow our worker to work smarter instead of harder.

Hey there! Have you ever wondered what happens when you put a brainy worker to work? Well, let me tell you all about it!

So, when you place a brain worker on a module, something cool happens. You get points! And guess what? The number of points you get is equal to the value of that module. Pretty neat, huh?

Now, I want to introduce you to another brainy worker, the double brain worker. These workers have not one, but two brain components! When one of these double brain workers performs the “Command modules” action (you can find more about it on page 7), you get to count the modules occupied by your own workers. That’s an advantage you don’t want to miss!

Let’s Talk about Claws

Okay, I’m about to reveal a secret weapon to you: claws! These incredible tools allow you to displace an opponent’s worker from an occupied module. That means you can kick them out and use the module yourself. Talk about a power move!

My claw worker, which has at least 1 claw component, has the power to move an opponent’s worker that has 0 or 1 attached components. It’s like my claw worker swoops in and takes their place!

But when it comes to my double claw workers, which have 2 claw components, they can displace any opponent’s worker. They have the ultimate power!

When a worker is displaced, they are sent to the Worker Lounge. And guess what? I get to choose whether I want a tasty food or a shiny coin as a reward. Yum!

Not only that, but my claw worker also activates the module it’s on. It’s like a two-in-one deal!

Just remember: I’m not allowed to displace a worker from the Splicing Lab, the Worker Lounge, an opponent’s perk card, or any module that specifically says “workers here cannot be displaced.” (Like the Dispatch Station)

Leaves

You may not give leaves much thought, but have you ever considered how important they are to plants? Leaves play a crucial role in the life of a plant, and without them, plants wouldn’t be able to survive.

Leaves are like solar panels for plants. Just as solar panels capture sunlight and convert it into energy, leaves capture sunlight and use it for a process called photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into oxygen and glucose. Oxygen is released into the air, while glucose is used as food for the plant.

But leaves do more than just photosynthesis. They also help plants breathe. Through tiny pores called stomata, located on the surface of the leaves, plants can exchange gases with the atmosphere. They take in carbon dioxide, which is used in photosynthesis, and release oxygen back into the air. This process is vital for the survival of both plants and animals.

Not only do leaves perform these vital functions, but they also come in various shapes and sizes. Some leaves are broad and flat, while others are narrow and pointed. This diversity allows plants to adapt to different environments. For example, broad leaves have a larger surface area, which helps them capture more sunlight, while narrow leaves are better suited for hot and dry conditions as they reduce water loss.

Next time you see a leaf, take a moment to appreciate its importance. Whether they are big or small, green or colorful, leaves are essential for the growth and survival of plants. So let’s not take them for granted – without leaves, our world would be a much different place.

Did you know that leaves have an important role in keeping your workers fed? It’s true! During the Feeding Phase, leaf workers don’t need any food to sustain themselves. How awesome is that?

But wait, it gets even better! If your workers have double leaf components, they not only don’t need food, but they also produce 2 units of food at the start of each Feeding Phase. Talk about a win-win situation!

Tentacles

Tentacles are like extra arms for your workers, allowing them to collect more resources.

If you have a worker with at least one tentacle component, whenever they earn coins or food during an action (not from the bonus on the game board), they will receive one additional resource of the same kind at the end of that action from the general supply. So, for example, if they earn a coin, they will also get an extra coin.

If you have a worker with two tentacle components, they will not only get an extra component of the same type at the end of an action, but if the supply for that component is empty, they will score two points instead for each component they would have received.

Mastering Modules

With the Command Hub and other special modules at your disposal, you have the power to make a bold move and claim credit for your rivals’ efforts.

When you take charge of these modules, you earn points equal to the worth of each module controlled by your adversaries. And remember, if you have a double brain worker, you also gain points for modules occupied by your own workers.

I step forward, confidently placing one of my workers in the coveted Command Hub slot A. I am now in control, seizing the start player marker as my own. This is where the real action begins.

Scanning the room, I take in the modules occupied by Andy, Beth, and Daniel. Their workers have staked their claims, but now it’s my turn to shine. This is my chance to prove my worth and secure a bountiful score.

I carefully calculate the value of their occupied modules. Each one holds a potential treasure trove of points, waiting to be claimed. I can feel the excitement building within me as I tally up the possibilities.

The Command Hub slot A is a powerful position, a gateway to success. It’s where strategies are born and fortunes are made. I know that I must make the most of this opportunity. With each passing moment, the game becomes more intense.

As I finalize my decisions, I can’t help but wonder what the future holds. Will my bold move pay off? Or will it be my downfall? The thrill of the unknown fills the air, electrifying the atmosphere.

I take a deep breath and confidently declare my score. The room falls silent, everyone waiting to see the outcome of my choices. The tension is palpable.

But in this moment, I know that I have done my best. I have followed my instincts, navigated the complexities, and seized the power of the Command Hub. Whatever the result may be, I can stand tall, knowing that I have left my mark on the game.

Daniel, here’s what you do. You put one of your workers in the Command Hub slot B. But remember, this doesn’t mean you get to go first. After that, you can score some points based on the workers that Andy, Beth, and Christina have. You’re basically taking advantage of their hard work to boost your own score. Pretty sneaky, huh?

Building a Module

When I want to expand the station, I have the option to build a module using the constructor and other modules. Here’s how it works:

I start by choosing a module from the Reactor and paying its coin cost. This is an important decision because each module has its own unique abilities.

Once I’ve chosen a module, I gain points equal to its value. In rounds 3 and 4, the points are doubled, and in round 5, they are tripled. So, the timing of when I build a module can have a big impact on my score.

Next, I place the module onto an empty space next to the Command Hub. There are two options for the placement: slot A or slot B. I can also choose to place the module adjacent to another module that I’ve already built.

After placing the module, I slide the remaining modules in the Reactor to the right. This ensures that the empty spaces are always on the left side.

Finally, I receive the build bonus depicted on the board space where I just built my module. These bonuses can give me additional advantages, so it’s always exciting to see what I’ll get.

Building Bonuses

Every space in the game has a unique build bonus associated with it. When you construct a module on a space with a build bonus, you will receive that bonus:

Welcome! Today I’ll be talking about how you can get more coins, food, and points in the game. Let me show you how to make the most out of your playing experience.

In order to gain more coins, food, and points, there are a few strategies you can use. First, focus on completing quests and challenges. These tasks often offer rewards that can include the resources you need. So, make sure to take advantage of them!

Another way to boost your resources is by finding and collecting items throughout the game. These items can be hidden in different locations or earned by solving puzzles. Keep your eyes open and explore every nook and cranny of the game world to find these valuable treasures.

Moreover, consider trading with other players. Sometimes, you might have an excess of one resource but lack another. By making trades with other players, you can ensure that you have a well-rounded inventory of coins, food, and points.

It’s also important to manage your resources wisely. Don’t spend all your coins, food, or points at once. Instead, prioritize what you need most at the moment and save the rest for later. Being strategic with your resources will help you progress further in the game.

Lastly, take advantage of any bonuses or rewards that the game offers. These can come in the form of daily login rewards, special events, or achievements. By actively participating in these activities, you can earn additional coins, food, and points.

So, there you have it! By following these tips, you can gain the amount of coins, food, and points you desire. Happy gaming!

If you’re playing the game, you’ll earn coins that match the number of the round you’re currently in. It’s as simple as that!

When you play the game, you get a reward in the form of food. The amount of food you receive is equal to the current round number. So, the more rounds you play, the more food you get. It’s a simple concept, but it adds an interesting twist to the game.

Imagine this: you’re playing a game. You start off with a score of 0, but as you progress, your score increases. The higher your score, the better you’re doing in the game. Sounds exciting, right? Well, that’s the power of gamification – using elements of games to make everyday tasks more enjoyable and engaging.

Now, you may be wondering, “Why should I care about gamification?” Well, let me tell you, there are plenty of reasons why gamification is worth considering. First off, it adds an element of fun and excitement to otherwise mundane tasks. Whether it’s completing chores or studying for a test, gamification can make the experience more enjoyable and motivating.

But gamification isn’t just about having fun. It can also be a powerful tool for learning and personal growth. By incorporating game-like elements such as challenges, rewards, and feedback, you can enhance your learning experience and improve your skills in a more engaging way. Plus, the sense of accomplishment you feel when you achieve a goal or earn a reward can boost your confidence and motivation to keep going.

So, how can you incorporate gamification into your life? There are many ways to do it! You can use gamified apps or websites to track your progress and set goals, compete with friends or colleagues to see who can reach certain targets first, or even create your own mini-games to make tasks more exciting. The possibilities are endless!

Remember, gamification is not about turning every aspect of your life into a game. It’s about finding creative ways to make tasks more enjoyable and motivating. So, next time you’re faced with a daunting task, why not add a little gamification to make it more fun?

Gimme one of those sweet components, you know? The ones from the supply. And here’s a little trick – if the supply is tapped out, no worries! You’ll still score a cool 2 points. How’s that for a deal?

When I want a particular component, I can get it from the supply. If there’s nothing left in the supply, I score 2 points instead.

When you use HTML markup in your text, it can make your content visually appealing and more engaging. It may seem like a complicated concept, but it’s actually quite simple. Let me break it down for you.

HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language, which is the standard language for creating webpages. It uses tags to define the structure and content of your page. Tags are enclosed in angle brackets (< >) and usually come in pairs: an opening tag and a closing tag. The opening tag indicates the start of an element, while the closing tag marks the end.

Let’s say you want to emphasize a word or phrase in your text. You can use the em tag to do that. Just put the word or phrase within the opening and closing em tags, like this: emphasize.

Another useful tag is the p tag, which creates a new paragraph. This helps organize your content and improves readability. Simply wrap your text between the opening and closing p tags, like this:

create a new paragraph

.

If you want to include a link to another webpage, you can use the a tag. This tag requires an attribute called href, which specifies the URL of the webpage you want to link to. Here’s an example: click here.

These are just a few examples of the many HTML tags you can use to enhance your content. It’s important to familiarize yourself with these tags and their functions to effectively utilize HTML markup in your text. So, don’t be intimidated by HTML. With a little practice, you’ll be able to create visually stunning webpages!

If you’re in a pickle and need a quick solution, I have just the thing for you: the return action. It’s like hitting the reset button and getting one of your workers back to the starting point.

Gaining the current Reactor reward is an important task for you. Let’s dive into it and explore why it matters.

First, it’s crucial to understand what the Reactor reward is. In essence, it’s a benefit or prize that you receive for your efforts. The Reactor reward serves as a motivation for you to keep going and stay engaged in your task.

Now, why is it so important? Well, the Reactor reward has a twofold effect. On one hand, it serves as a recognition of your hard work and dedication. It’s a way of saying “Well done!” and acknowledging your achievements. This can boost your self-esteem and provide a sense of accomplishment.

On the other hand, the Reactor reward also acts as an incentive to keep you going. It serves as a reminder of the potential benefits that await you if you continue putting in the effort. Knowing that there is a reward waiting for you can be a great source of motivation and drive.

It’s important to note that the Reactor reward can vary depending on the situation. It could be a material prize, such as a gift or a bonus. Alternatively, it could be an intangible reward, such as recognition or praise.

Ultimately, the Reactor reward is a way of recognizing and encouraging your efforts. It serves as a reminder of the value of your work and can help fuel your motivation. So, when you’re pursuing a goal, remember to keep an eye on the Reactor reward. It can be a powerful tool in keeping you focused and determined.

Activating Nearby Modules

Imagine having the power to activate a neighboring module without even placing a worker there. That’s exactly what the <p> action does for me. It’s like a secret code that allows me to activate a module as if I had sent a worker to do it! Pretty cool, right?

However, I must remember that this special power comes with a few limitations. I can’t use it to activate a module that would affect the worker I just placed. So, sorry, but I can’t be in two places at once!

Recharging the Reactor

Every time I build a module, it uses up some of the power supply of the station. If the Reactor track is empty, I can’t build any new modules until the fuel is refilled in the boiler room.

When I activate the boiler room, I will receive the rewards listed based on the components on my worker. I will also receive the Reactor rewards that are currently visible, depending on how much the Reactor has been drained.

The rewards for the Reactor are clearly indicated on the board in the Reactor spaces. After receiving the rewards, I need to refill the Reactor with modules from the draw pile. If the draw pile is empty, I have to shuffle the discard pile and create a new draw pile.

Don’t forget that if I have a tentacle worker, I will get an extra resource for each one I receive from this action, including the Reactor rewards.

Flushing The Reactor

Hey there! Have you ever wondered what to do when things start to heat up in the game? Well, I’ve got just the trick for you! It’s called “Flushing The Reactor,” and trust me, it’s a game-changer!

So, here’s how it works. During the game, if you ever find yourself in a jam, you can discard your starting resource card. By doing this, you get to remove any number of modules from the Reactor. Pretty cool, right? But wait, there’s more!

After flushing out those modules, you get to refill the Reactor with new ones from the module supply. But remember, when you flush the reactor, the bonuses that you would normally get don’t apply. It’s a trade-off, but sometimes it’s worth it.

Oh, one last thing before I forget! Flushing the reactor is a separate action from your regular turn. That means you can do it before or after placing a worker. It’s like an extra special move just for you!

So remember, when things start to get too hot to handle, don’t sweat it. Just flush the reactor and keep on gaming!

Splicing Lab

When you put a worker in the Splicing Lab, you need to splice its components right away:

• Remove any number of components from your worker (put them back in your component pool).
• OR add any number of components from your component pool to your worker.

Notes:

• When you place a worker in the Splicing Lab, fill the slots in alphabetical order.
• Generally, each worker can have a maximum of 2 attached components.
• After you splice, your worker must look different from when it first entered the Splicing Lab.

Worker Lounge

The Worker Lounge is a unique area where I can find a variety of workers. If a worker gets displaced by a claw worker or if I want to place a worker there directly, I can send them to the Worker Lounge. When one of my workers enters the Worker Lounge, I get to choose between receiving 1 coin or 1 food. It’s like a little reward for taking care of my workers.

The Exciting Conclusion

When the final round comes to an end, it’s time to tally up your points and see who emerges victorious!

• For every 3 coins you’ve collected, you earn an additional point.
• Gathered 2 pieces of food? That’s worth 1 more point.
• Every component you’ve acquired, whether it’s attached or not, adds a whopping 2 points to your total.
• Don’t forget to consult your perk cards, as they have specific end game scoring instructions.

Once all the points have been calculated, the player with the highest score is crowned the winner!

In the event of a tie, the player with the most components in their supply, attached or not, claims victory. But if the tie persists, unite your strengths and conquer the galaxy together as an unstoppable partnership!

• For this game, you will need:
• A game board
• Two countdown tokens
• Four round markers
• Twenty-eight genetic components
• Forty station module tiles
• Twenty-two perk cards
• Lots of coin tokens
• Lots of food tokens
• A start player marker
• Four score markers
• Four double-sided player mats
• Twenty-four worker tops/bottoms
• Four research markers
• Six starting resource cards

Let’s Set Up the Game

Before we begin, let’s get everything ready. Here’s what you need to do:

1. Place the game board in the center of the table. This is where all the action will happen.

2. Give each player a double-sided player mat. This mat will help keep track of their resources and workers.

3. Shuffle the starting resource cards and deal one to each player. These cards will give the players their starting resources.

4. Set aside enough coin tokens and food tokens within everyone’s reach. You’ll need plenty of these throughout the game.

5. Place the round markers and research markers next to the game board. These will be used to track the progress of the game.

6. Place the score markers within everyone’s reach. These markers will keep track of each player’s score.

7. Shuffle the perk cards and place them face-down near the game board. These cards will offer special abilities and advantages.

8. Stack the genetic components neatly within reach. You’ll need these to perform experiments and make discoveries.

9. Stack the station module tiles face-up next to the game board. These tiles represent different areas of the game board that you can interact with.

10. Give each player a countdown token. They will use this token to track the rounds as they progress.

11. Lastly, determine who will be the start player and give them the start player marker.

Once you’ve completed these steps, you’re ready to begin the game! Have fun exploring and discovering the wonders of genetics!

Hey there! Did you know that a place in the center of the table can be quite important? It’s not just a simple spot for your plate and utensils, but it holds a deeper significance. Let me explain.

Okay, here’s what you need to do:

First, put the countdown tokens in order, starting with the number 1 on top. Make sure they’re over slot B of the Command Hub.

Next, place the 4 round markers on the board.

Then, take the 28 genetic components and put them in a pile near the board.

After that, grab the 40 station module tiles and put them face down near the Reactor section of the board. Take 6 of these tiles and place them face up in the Reactor spaces on the board.

Lastly, shuffle the perk cards and deal 3 of them face up near the board.

Hey there! Let me walk you through the setup process for the game. It’s really simple, so don’t worry!

First things first, we need to take care of the coin tokens. You’ll find them in a supply pile right near the game board. Now, here’s the interesting part – coins are unlimited! So, if by any chance we run out of them, no worries! You can always use some other substitute.

Next up, let’s handle the food tokens. Again, you’ll find them in a supply pile near the board. Just like the coins, food is also unlimited! So, in case we run out, you can just grab something else to replace them – problem solved!

Now, it’s time to decide who gets to be the start player. We’ll pick this player randomly! Once we’ve chosen the lucky soul, they will be given the marker. Exciting, right?

Okay, almost there! We also need to place one score marker for each player on the 10 space of the score track. That’s where those markers belong!

Lastly, each player will receive a double-sided player mat. Oh, and here’s a tip: for your first game, it’s best to use side A of the mat. This way, everyone will start on equal footing. Side B, on the other hand, is for the more experienced players. It has some unique player powers!

When it’s time to set up your game, there are a few important things to keep in mind. First, you’ll need to make sure each player has the right worker tops and bottoms. These should match the color of their player mat. If you’re playing with 3 or 4 players, you’ll need to return 1 or 2 of each worker to the box. The number depends on the number of players: 1 worker for each player when playing with 3 players, and 2 workers for each player when playing with 4 players.

Next, you’ll need to form each player’s initial worker pool. This is the group of workers that they’ll use throughout the game. The number of workers in the initial pool also depends on the number of players. For 2 players, each player gets 4 workers. For 3 players, each player gets 3 workers. And for 4 players, each player gets 2 workers.

Finally, each player will need research markers. These markers will be placed on the “start” tier of the research track on their player board. Make sure each player has one research marker.

Hey there! Let me tell you what to do when starting a game of N hand. First, you need to distribute 6 resource cards to the player sitting to the right of the start player. Make sure you only use the cards specified for the number of players you have. And don’t forget to return any extra cards back to the box!

• If you have 2 or more players, use the 2+ cards.
• If you have 3 or more players, use the 2+ and 3+ cards.
• If you have 4 or more players, use all of the cards.

First, the player to my right (who will play last in round 1) picks one of the starting resource cards and passes the rest to me (going counter-clockwise).

We each choose one and pass the rest to my right until I pick a card. We put the cards we didn’t choose back in the box.

Now, I get to take the resources that are shown on my starting resource card. If my card shows a research symbol, I get to move my research marker to tier 1 of the research track and immediately claim the reward (on side A, that will be a perk). Make sure to save your starting resource card! You’ll be able to use it later to flush the Reactor.

Let the Game Begin

Hello there! Today, I want to share with you all about Chimera Station, an exciting game that I’ve been playing. It’s a game that takes place over 5 rounds, and each round has different phases. Let’s dive in and explore!

The Placement Phase

First things first – let’s talk about the placement phase. During this phase, we take turns placing our workers on different spots. It starts with the start player and goes around the table clockwise. You have three options for where to place your worker:

1. A module
2. The splicing lab
3. The worker lounge

When you place your worker, you immediately get to apply its effect or gain its benefit. It’s like a little boost to help you on your adventure.

Modules are these cool hexagonal spaces on the board or your perk cards that give you all sorts of advantages. One important thing to remember is that you can’t put a worker on an already occupied module, unless you’re using a claw worker. Sneaky little claws!

The Splicing Lab is a cool feature that lets me mix and match components from my pool and attach them to the worker I put there. I have three spaces available in the lab, but I can only have one worker in each space. It’s like building a custom team!

In the Worker Lounge, I don’t have any limits on how many workers I can place. This is where I can earn some rewards. Each worker I put here gets either 1 food or 1 coin. It’s a great place to stock up on resources.

Oh, and here’s a neat trick: the components I attach to my workers can have special effects when I place them on the board. It’s like giving my worker superpowers! But here’s the catch: if I don’t have any workers in my pool when it’s my turn to place, I have to sit out and miss a turn. So it’s important to always have some workers ready to go.

Once all the players have placed all their workers, the placement Phase is over. It’s like a race to see who can strategize and place their workers the best.

But wait, there’s a rule I have to follow! I can only place my worker in a space if I can actually fulfill the effects of that space. So if a module says I need coins to buy something, and I don’t have any coins, I can’t place my worker there. It’s a little disappointing, but rules are rules.

So, in a nutshell, the Splicing Lab and the Worker Lounge are key parts of this game. They let me customize my workers and earn rewards. Just remember, always have some workers ready to go, and make sure you can fulfill the requirements of a module before placing a worker there. Good luck!

Hey there! Let’s talk about the Splicing Lab phase. It’s something you need to keep in mind when working with components. Speaking of components, did you know that you have to splice at least 1 of them if you want to place it in the lab? Yep, that’s right!

So, what’s the deal with the Splicing Lab phase?

When it’s time for the Splicing Lab Phase, I’ll be one of the workers going back into the lab. We’ll go in alphabetical order, starting with slot A. I can choose any legal space to place myself, except for the Splicing Lab.

If something happens during the Splicing Lab Phase and I end up with an extra worker in my pool, I’ll have to place them before the next Splicing Lab slot is resolved. Just remember, no workers are allowed in the Splicing Lab during this Phase!

Here’s a story for you: Andy and Beth are both scientists working in a lab. Andy’s worker is assigned to slot A, while Beth’s worker is in slot B.

Now, let’s talk about the Splicing Lab Phase. In this phase, Andy gets to do something really cool. He takes his worker from slot A and puts it in the laboratory. This helps him advance his research track to tier 3, which is pretty impressive. Plus, he even earns an extra worker – talk about a win!

But here’s the twist. Since Andy now has an extra worker in his pool, he gets to go first before Beth. So he’ll place this new worker before Beth gets a chance to put her worker from slot B in.

Isn’t it interesting how the order of things can make such a difference? It just goes to show how important it is to keep track of who does what, when, and where. Science can be full of surprises, but if you pay attention and stay on top of things, you can come out ahead.

So, remember this story the next time you find yourself in a lab. You never know when the order of workers might give you that extra advantage. Keep exploring, keep experimenting, and keep pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. Happy splicing!

If I only had 2 pieces of food, not only would I lose the single thing I’m attached to, but I would also lose 2 points.

Time to Eat

First, let me explain how the Feeding Phase works. During this phase, you need to take back your workers from the board and put them back into your worker pool. However, there’s a catch – you have to pay 1 food for each worker you have in your pool.

Now, if you don’t have enough food to feed your workers, things get a bit complicated. For each food that you are short, you’ll have to give up one of the components that are attached to your workers. These components will go back to the general supply. But what happens if you don’t have any components? Well, in that case, you’ll lose 2 points for each food that you’re short.

Example: I have 4 workers, 3 of them don’t have any components and 1 of them has one component. When it’s time to feed them, I must pay 4 food. But I only have 3 food, so I have to take the component away from one of my workers and give it back to the supply.

Station Report

Hey there, let me fill you in on the latest station progress. Exciting stuff!

First things first. The station has been making great strides. You wouldn’t believe how far we’ve come. But let’s dive right into the details.

Now, I’ll be honest with you. The station’s journey hasn’t always been a smooth ride. We’ve faced our fair share of challenges. But guess what? We’re overcoming them one step at a time.

You might be wondering, “What’s the current status?” Well, let me tell you, it’s looking pretty promising. We’ve made significant headway and we’re closer than ever to achieving our goals.

It’s no secret that progress can sometimes be a tricky thing to measure. There are various factors at play, and it’s important to consider them all. But here’s the thing, my friend. We’ve done just that. We’ve taken all the necessary steps to ensure we’re on the right track.

And let me tell you, it hasn’t been easy. But we’ve persevered. We’ve put in the time and effort to understand the ins and outs of this station’s progress. It’s been a learning experience, one that we wouldn’t trade for anything.

So, all in all, things are looking up. We’re moving forward, making strides, and learning from every step we take. And that’s what it’s all about, isn’t it? Progress is a journey, and we’re excited to see where it takes us.

Now, I know this report might not answer all your burning questions. But hey, that’s what progress is all about, right? It keeps us on our toes, always striving for more.

So, hang in there, my friend. We’re making progress, and we’re taking you along for the ride. Exciting times lie ahead, and we can’t wait to share them with you.

Every round (except for round 1), I start by removing the round marker on the round track.

For rounds 2, 3, and 5, things in the game change to show the progress of the station. Here’s what happens:

Round 2:

• I remove the first countdown token.

Round 3:

• I remove the second countdown token. Now I can use Slot B of the Command Hub.
• Three new perks are dealt out and added to the supply (now there are 6 cards in the supply).
• I move up one tier on my research track. If more than one player earns a perk card because of this, we choose them in turn order, starting with the first player.
• From now on, I earn double the points for building modules.

Round 5:

• Let’s deal out three new perks and add them to the supply. Now we’ll have 6 or more cards in the supply.
• I’m going to advance one tier on my research track. If multiple players earn a perk card because of this, we’ll choose them in turn order, starting with the player who goes first.
• Starting now, we’re going to triple the points awarded for building modules.

Genetic Components

Genetic components, also known as components, help make our workers special. Each worker can have a maximum of 2 components attached to them. Usually, these components are attached at the Splicing Lab.

We can mix and match components together, but if we have two of the same component, our worker will get an extra boost in a specific area.

If I perform an action and there are no components left in the supply, I’ll score 2 points instead.

Brains

Brains allow our worker to work smarter instead of harder.

Hey there! Have you ever wondered what happens when you put a brainy worker to work? Well, let me tell you all about it!

So, when you place a brain worker on a module, something cool happens. You get points! And guess what? The number of points you get is equal to the value of that module. Pretty neat, huh?

Now, I want to introduce you to another brainy worker, the double brain worker. These workers have not one, but two brain components! When one of these double brain workers performs the “Command modules” action (you can find more about it on page 7), you get to count the modules occupied by your own workers. That’s an advantage you don’t want to miss!

Let’s Talk about Claws

Okay, I’m about to reveal a secret weapon to you: claws! These incredible tools allow you to displace an opponent’s worker from an occupied module. That means you can kick them out and use the module yourself. Talk about a power move!

My claw worker, which has at least 1 claw component, has the power to move an opponent’s worker that has 0 or 1 attached components. It’s like my claw worker swoops in and takes their place!

But when it comes to my double claw workers, which have 2 claw components, they can displace any opponent’s worker. They have the ultimate power!

When a worker is displaced, they are sent to the Worker Lounge. And guess what? I get to choose whether I want a tasty food or a shiny coin as a reward. Yum!

Not only that, but my claw worker also activates the module it’s on. It’s like a two-in-one deal!

Just remember: I’m not allowed to displace a worker from the Splicing Lab, the Worker Lounge, an opponent’s perk card, or any module that specifically says “workers here cannot be displaced.” (Like the Dispatch Station)

Leaves

You may not give leaves much thought, but have you ever considered how important they are to plants? Leaves play a crucial role in the life of a plant, and without them, plants wouldn’t be able to survive.

Leaves are like solar panels for plants. Just as solar panels capture sunlight and convert it into energy, leaves capture sunlight and use it for a process called photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into oxygen and glucose. Oxygen is released into the air, while glucose is used as food for the plant.

But leaves do more than just photosynthesis. They also help plants breathe. Through tiny pores called stomata, located on the surface of the leaves, plants can exchange gases with the atmosphere. They take in carbon dioxide, which is used in photosynthesis, and release oxygen back into the air. This process is vital for the survival of both plants and animals.

Not only do leaves perform these vital functions, but they also come in various shapes and sizes. Some leaves are broad and flat, while others are narrow and pointed. This diversity allows plants to adapt to different environments. For example, broad leaves have a larger surface area, which helps them capture more sunlight, while narrow leaves are better suited for hot and dry conditions as they reduce water loss.

Next time you see a leaf, take a moment to appreciate its importance. Whether they are big or small, green or colorful, leaves are essential for the growth and survival of plants. So let’s not take them for granted – without leaves, our world would be a much different place.

Did you know that leaves have an important role in keeping your workers fed? It’s true! During the Feeding Phase, leaf workers don’t need any food to sustain themselves. How awesome is that?

But wait, it gets even better! If your workers have double leaf components, they not only don’t need food, but they also produce 2 units of food at the start of each Feeding Phase. Talk about a win-win situation!

Tentacles

Tentacles are like extra arms for your workers, allowing them to collect more resources.

If you have a worker with at least one tentacle component, whenever they earn coins or food during an action (not from the bonus on the game board), they will receive one additional resource of the same kind at the end of that action from the general supply. So, for example, if they earn a coin, they will also get an extra coin.

If you have a worker with two tentacle components, they will not only get an extra component of the same type at the end of an action, but if the supply for that component is empty, they will score two points instead for each component they would have received.

Mastering Modules

With the Command Hub and other special modules at your disposal, you have the power to make a bold move and claim credit for your rivals’ efforts.

When you take charge of these modules, you earn points equal to the worth of each module controlled by your adversaries. And remember, if you have a double brain worker, you also gain points for modules occupied by your own workers.

I step forward, confidently placing one of my workers in the coveted Command Hub slot A. I am now in control, seizing the start player marker as my own. This is where the real action begins.

Scanning the room, I take in the modules occupied by Andy, Beth, and Daniel. Their workers have staked their claims, but now it’s my turn to shine. This is my chance to prove my worth and secure a bountiful score.

I carefully calculate the value of their occupied modules. Each one holds a potential treasure trove of points, waiting to be claimed. I can feel the excitement building within me as I tally up the possibilities.

The Command Hub slot A is a powerful position, a gateway to success. It’s where strategies are born and fortunes are made. I know that I must make the most of this opportunity. With each passing moment, the game becomes more intense.

As I finalize my decisions, I can’t help but wonder what the future holds. Will my bold move pay off? Or will it be my downfall? The thrill of the unknown fills the air, electrifying the atmosphere.

I take a deep breath and confidently declare my score. The room falls silent, everyone waiting to see the outcome of my choices. The tension is palpable.

But in this moment, I know that I have done my best. I have followed my instincts, navigated the complexities, and seized the power of the Command Hub. Whatever the result may be, I can stand tall, knowing that I have left my mark on the game.

Daniel, here’s what you do. You put one of your workers in the Command Hub slot B. But remember, this doesn’t mean you get to go first. After that, you can score some points based on the workers that Andy, Beth, and Christina have. You’re basically taking advantage of their hard work to boost your own score. Pretty sneaky, huh?

Building a Module

When I want to expand the station, I have the option to build a module using the constructor and other modules. Here’s how it works:

I start by choosing a module from the Reactor and paying its coin cost. This is an important decision because each module has its own unique abilities.

Once I’ve chosen a module, I gain points equal to its value. In rounds 3 and 4, the points are doubled, and in round 5, they are tripled. So, the timing of when I build a module can have a big impact on my score.

Next, I place the module onto an empty space next to the Command Hub. There are two options for the placement: slot A or slot B. I can also choose to place the module adjacent to another module that I’ve already built.

After placing the module, I slide the remaining modules in the Reactor to the right. This ensures that the empty spaces are always on the left side.

Finally, I receive the build bonus depicted on the board space where I just built my module. These bonuses can give me additional advantages, so it’s always exciting to see what I’ll get.

Building Bonuses

Every space in the game has a unique build bonus associated with it. When you construct a module on a space with a build bonus, you will receive that bonus:

Welcome! Today I’ll be talking about how you can get more coins, food, and points in the game. Let me show you how to make the most out of your playing experience.

In order to gain more coins, food, and points, there are a few strategies you can use. First, focus on completing quests and challenges. These tasks often offer rewards that can include the resources you need. So, make sure to take advantage of them!

Another way to boost your resources is by finding and collecting items throughout the game. These items can be hidden in different locations or earned by solving puzzles. Keep your eyes open and explore every nook and cranny of the game world to find these valuable treasures.

Moreover, consider trading with other players. Sometimes, you might have an excess of one resource but lack another. By making trades with other players, you can ensure that you have a well-rounded inventory of coins, food, and points.

It’s also important to manage your resources wisely. Don’t spend all your coins, food, or points at once. Instead, prioritize what you need most at the moment and save the rest for later. Being strategic with your resources will help you progress further in the game.

Lastly, take advantage of any bonuses or rewards that the game offers. These can come in the form of daily login rewards, special events, or achievements. By actively participating in these activities, you can earn additional coins, food, and points.

So, there you have it! By following these tips, you can gain the amount of coins, food, and points you desire. Happy gaming!

If you’re playing the game, you’ll earn coins that match the number of the round you’re currently in. It’s as simple as that!

When you play the game, you get a reward in the form of food. The amount of food you receive is equal to the current round number. So, the more rounds you play, the more food you get. It’s a simple concept, but it adds an interesting twist to the game.

Imagine this: you’re playing a game. You start off with a score of 0, but as you progress, your score increases. The higher your score, the better you’re doing in the game. Sounds exciting, right? Well, that’s the power of gamification – using elements of games to make everyday tasks more enjoyable and engaging.

Now, you may be wondering, “Why should I care about gamification?” Well, let me tell you, there are plenty of reasons why gamification is worth considering. First off, it adds an element of fun and excitement to otherwise mundane tasks. Whether it’s completing chores or studying for a test, gamification can make the experience more enjoyable and motivating.

But gamification isn’t just about having fun. It can also be a powerful tool for learning and personal growth. By incorporating game-like elements such as challenges, rewards, and feedback, you can enhance your learning experience and improve your skills in a more engaging way. Plus, the sense of accomplishment you feel when you achieve a goal or earn a reward can boost your confidence and motivation to keep going.

So, how can you incorporate gamification into your life? There are many ways to do it! You can use gamified apps or websites to track your progress and set goals, compete with friends or colleagues to see who can reach certain targets first, or even create your own mini-games to make tasks more exciting. The possibilities are endless!

Remember, gamification is not about turning every aspect of your life into a game. It’s about finding creative ways to make tasks more enjoyable and motivating. So, next time you’re faced with a daunting task, why not add a little gamification to make it more fun?

Gimme one of those sweet components, you know? The ones from the supply. And here’s a little trick – if the supply is tapped out, no worries! You’ll still score a cool 2 points. How’s that for a deal?

When I want a particular component, I can get it from the supply. If there’s nothing left in the supply, I score 2 points instead.

When you use HTML markup in your text, it can make your content visually appealing and more engaging. It may seem like a complicated concept, but it’s actually quite simple. Let me break it down for you.

HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language, which is the standard language for creating webpages. It uses tags to define the structure and content of your page. Tags are enclosed in angle brackets (< >) and usually come in pairs: an opening tag and a closing tag. The opening tag indicates the start of an element, while the closing tag marks the end.

Let’s say you want to emphasize a word or phrase in your text. You can use the em tag to do that. Just put the word or phrase within the opening and closing em tags, like this: emphasize.

Another useful tag is the p tag, which creates a new paragraph. This helps organize your content and improves readability. Simply wrap your text between the opening and closing p tags, like this:

create a new paragraph

.

If you want to include a link to another webpage, you can use the a tag. This tag requires an attribute called href, which specifies the URL of the webpage you want to link to. Here’s an example: click here.

These are just a few examples of the many HTML tags you can use to enhance your content. It’s important to familiarize yourself with these tags and their functions to effectively utilize HTML markup in your text. So, don’t be intimidated by HTML. With a little practice, you’ll be able to create visually stunning webpages!

If you’re in a pickle and need a quick solution, I have just the thing for you: the return action. It’s like hitting the reset button and getting one of your workers back to the starting point.

Gaining the current Reactor reward is an important task for you. Let’s dive into it and explore why it matters.

First, it’s crucial to understand what the Reactor reward is. In essence, it’s a benefit or prize that you receive for your efforts. The Reactor reward serves as a motivation for you to keep going and stay engaged in your task.

Now, why is it so important? Well, the Reactor reward has a twofold effect. On one hand, it serves as a recognition of your hard work and dedication. It’s a way of saying “Well done!” and acknowledging your achievements. This can boost your self-esteem and provide a sense of accomplishment.

On the other hand, the Reactor reward also acts as an incentive to keep you going. It serves as a reminder of the potential benefits that await you if you continue putting in the effort. Knowing that there is a reward waiting for you can be a great source of motivation and drive.

It’s important to note that the Reactor reward can vary depending on the situation. It could be a material prize, such as a gift or a bonus. Alternatively, it could be an intangible reward, such as recognition or praise.

Ultimately, the Reactor reward is a way of recognizing and encouraging your efforts. It serves as a reminder of the value of your work and can help fuel your motivation. So, when you’re pursuing a goal, remember to keep an eye on the Reactor reward. It can be a powerful tool in keeping you focused and determined.

Activating Nearby Modules

Imagine having the power to activate a neighboring module without even placing a worker there. That’s exactly what the <p> action does for me. It’s like a secret code that allows me to activate a module as if I had sent a worker to do it! Pretty cool, right?

However, I must remember that this special power comes with a few limitations. I can’t use it to activate a module that would affect the worker I just placed. So, sorry, but I can’t be in two places at once!

Recharging the Reactor

Every time I build a module, it uses up some of the power supply of the station. If the Reactor track is empty, I can’t build any new modules until the fuel is refilled in the boiler room.

When I activate the boiler room, I will receive the rewards listed based on the components on my worker. I will also receive the Reactor rewards that are currently visible, depending on how much the Reactor has been drained.

The rewards for the Reactor are clearly indicated on the board in the Reactor spaces. After receiving the rewards, I need to refill the Reactor with modules from the draw pile. If the draw pile is empty, I have to shuffle the discard pile and create a new draw pile.

Don’t forget that if I have a tentacle worker, I will get an extra resource for each one I receive from this action, including the Reactor rewards.

Flushing The Reactor

Hey there! Have you ever wondered what to do when things start to heat up in the game? Well, I’ve got just the trick for you! It’s called “Flushing The Reactor,” and trust me, it’s a game-changer!

So, here’s how it works. During the game, if you ever find yourself in a jam, you can discard your starting resource card. By doing this, you get to remove any number of modules from the Reactor. Pretty cool, right? But wait, there’s more!

After flushing out those modules, you get to refill the Reactor with new ones from the module supply. But remember, when you flush the reactor, the bonuses that you would normally get don’t apply. It’s a trade-off, but sometimes it’s worth it.

Oh, one last thing before I forget! Flushing the reactor is a separate action from your regular turn. That means you can do it before or after placing a worker. It’s like an extra special move just for you!

So remember, when things start to get too hot to handle, don’t sweat it. Just flush the reactor and keep on gaming!

Splicing Lab

When you put a worker in the Splicing Lab, you need to splice its components right away:

• Remove any number of components from your worker (put them back in your component pool).
• OR add any number of components from your component pool to your worker.

Notes:

• When you place a worker in the Splicing Lab, fill the slots in alphabetical order.
• Generally, each worker can have a maximum of 2 attached components.
• After you splice, your worker must look different from when it first entered the Splicing Lab.

Worker Lounge

The Worker Lounge is a unique area where I can find a variety of workers. If a worker gets displaced by a claw worker or if I want to place a worker there directly, I can send them to the Worker Lounge. When one of my workers enters the Worker Lounge, I get to choose between receiving 1 coin or 1 food. It’s like a little reward for taking care of my workers.

The Exciting Conclusion

When the final round comes to an end, it’s time to tally up your points and see who emerges victorious!

• For every 3 coins you’ve collected, you earn an additional point.
• Gathered 2 pieces of food? That’s worth 1 more point.
• Every component you’ve acquired, whether it’s attached or not, adds a whopping 2 points to your total.
• Don’t forget to consult your perk cards, as they have specific end game scoring instructions.

Once all the points have been calculated, the player with the highest score is crowned the winner!

In the event of a tie, the player with the most components in their supply, attached or not, claims victory. But if the tie persists, unite your strengths and conquer the galaxy together as an unstoppable partnership!
