* pick one workshop or center of the table

Z3phyr: more clear description of face up cards

Play cards to slots around the clock.

Scenario determines rulest the cards need to follow.

Basic rules are

* At least 1 card must have been placed next to each of the 6 segments.
* The value of each segment must be equal to or greater than the previous segment. In other words, the segments must increase in value (or remain the same) as you proceed clockwise from the Hand.
* The value of each segment must be less than or equal to 24. (Note that this limit does not apply to the first 3 clocks from Chapter 1.)

And each scenario adds new rules or modifies them.

There are 12 white and dark cards with numbers 1-12.

Most cards are played face down. Some cards can be played face up, but scenario and player count detrmines the limit.

You cannot discuss cards or strategy whle playing.

But before the cards are dealt you can discuss and come up with a plan to make your chances better.

Z3phyr: more details in end game description

== Nucleum - Summary Rules ==

In '''Nucleum''', players take on the role of industrialists in 19th-century Saxony during a technological boom fueled by the invention of the Nucleum (a nuclear reactor). The goal is to earn the most Victory Points (VP) by building and powering Urban Buildings, securing Contracts, and meeting Milestones.

=== Gameplay and Turn Structure ===
Gameplay is continuous; players take turns one after another with no fixed rounds or phases. On your turn, you '''must''' choose one of the following three options:

==== A. Play an Action Tile to the Player Board ====
* Place an Action tile from your pool onto the leftmost free slot at the top of your board.
* Resolve one or both actions shown on the tile in any order.
* '''Bonus:''' You may fulfill exactly '''one''' Contract (either from your board or a purple one) before, between, or after these actions.

==== B. Play an Action Tile as a Railway ====
* Place a tile onto an empty railway space on the map and place one of your '''Workers''' on it.
* '''Color Matching:''' If the colors on the tile edges match the adjacent city or another tile (Domino-style), you resolve the corresponding actions. Other players may also resolve actions if they have matching adjacent tiles.
* Completed rail lines allow the transport of Coal, Uranium, and electricity.

==== C. Recharge ====
This option is used to reset and gain resources:
# '''Income:''' Receive Thalers, Workers, and VP based on your income track markers (limited by actions placed above the board).
# '''Place Milestone Marker:''' Based on your current Achievement tokens (stars), place a marker on the Milestone track to secure end-game multipliers.
# '''Nucleum Placement:''' If you place a marker in a segment containing a Nucleum token, place it into a power plant on the map for a bonus.
# '''Retrieve Tiles:''' Take back all Action tiles from the top of your player board into your pool.
# '''King’s Day Scoring:''' Triggered if a Milestone space on the side board is emptied. (when all players recharged)

=== The Main Actions ===

* '''Urbanize (Build):''' Place an Urban Building from your board into a city within your network, paying the cost in Thalers.
* '''Industrialize (Mines & Turbines):''' Place a Mine (produces Uranium) or a Turbine (unlocks abilities) into your network, paying the cost in Workers. Building a Turbine-Mine pair grants a specific bonus.
* '''Develop:''' Purchase 1 or 2 new Action tiles from the market to add to your pool.
* '''Contract:''' Take a Silver or Gold Contract from the market and place it on your board to receive an immediate reward.
* '''Energize:''' Activate a power plant to power a connected building. This requires Coal (imported via rails) or Uranium (requires a Nucleum in the plant).

=== Focus: Powering Praha ===
* '''Double Scoring:''' VP for energized buildings in Praha are '''doubled''' during final scoring.
* '''Government Buildings:''' Level-IV buildings in Praha score based on the number of specific building types (like Factories) connected via completed rail lines owned by the player.

=== The Four Experiments (Differences) ===
Each player board features unique technologies and turbine effects:
* '''Experiment A:''' Focused on '''Industry and Uranium'''; provides discounts for Urbanization and extra Uranium when building.
* '''Experiment B:''' Focused on '''Contracts and Milestones'''; allows Industrialization anywhere (ignoring networks) and uses Special Action tiles.
* '''Experiment C:''' Focused on '''Energy Efficiency'''; uses "virtual" Turbines and more efficient Uranium processing (3 electricity instead of 2).
* '''Experiment D:''' Focused on '''Railways'''; gains Achievement tokens when taking Contracts and benefits from building rail lines.

=== Technology Levels ===
Technologies are unlocked via Contracts or Milestones.
* '''Level 1 & 2:''' Provide permanent passive bonuses or immediate one-time actions (e.g., discounts).
* '''Level 3:''' Powerful game-changing abilities, such as ignoring network requirements or extra Uranium capacity in plants.
** '''8th on level 3 (Ultimate Goal):''' A specific end-game scoring condition unique to each Experiment.

=== Game End and Final Scoring ===
The end is triggered when '''two''' (three in a 2-player game) of these five conditions are met:
# The Action tile draw pile is empty.
# All three Milestone spaces of a player are empty.
# A player has unlocked all 8 Technologies.
# A player reaches 70 VP.
# The last Contract tile is drawn.
Each endgame condition gives 3 VPs to the player who triggered it.

When end is triggered players finish the current round. (to play equal number of turns)

Then each player gets one more turn.

Then you can place milestone marker based on your Achievement tokens (stars) left. (not a full recharge, only milestone placement)

'''Final Scoring:'''
* '''Milestones:''' VP for markers on the track based on the multiplier of their tier and the specific Milestone tile condition. Markers on "0" cost 3 VP.
* '''Buildings:''' VP shown on the back of all energized buildings (doubled in Praha).
* '''Income Tracks:''' 3, 6, or 10 VP if markers reached the final spaces of each track.
* '''8th Technology:''' Score the individual ultimate goal.

=== Cities list ===
Green Cities:

# Brüx
# Görlitz
# Marienburg
# Riesa

Orange Cities:

# Chemnitz
# Dresden
# Freiberg
# Joachimsthal

White Cities:
#Aussig
#Glashütte
#Leipzig
#Plauen
