	This document describes how Daybreak is played in the digital BGA interface. The card dealing, resolving of actions, effects, and crises, and the end-of-round tallying are all done automagically by BGA, such that the rules explanations about these elements in the tabletop version don't all apply in this environment. Additionally, this document explains the screen layout as it differs considerably from the tabletop game. If you have played the tabletop game, you will have no trouble adapting to online play. But if you've never played the tabletop version, you may be a bit overwhelmed at first with all that is going on on the screen interface.		This document describes how Daybreak is played in the digital BGA interface. The card dealing, resolving of actions, effects, and crises, and the end-of-round tallying are all done automagically by BGA, such that the rules explanations about these elements in the tabletop version don't all apply in this environment. Additionally, this document explains the screen layout, as it differs considerably from the tabletop game. If you have played the tabletop game, you will have no trouble adapting to online play (with the possible exception of "tucking"). But if you've never played the tabletop version, you may be a bit overwhelmed at first with all that is going on on the screen interface.

	To play a card on a Local Project, you have two options: '''replace''' ~~the~~ current ~~project~~ or '''support''' ~~the~~ current project. In the BGA interface replacing is obvious, just tap/click the card you want to use and then tap/click the project card you want to replace and the initial card you clicked will move to cover the project card, thus becoming a new, active project. However, supporting a project requires "tucking" a card behind the project card and any other cards already tucked behind it~~. While that is easy in physical game play, on BGA its not quite as obvious initially~~. First you tap/click the card in your "hand" that you want to add to (support) a project and that then lights up an area above each project with a green rectangle. Tap/click that green rectangle to "tuck" your card "behind" the project.		=== About "tucking" cards ===
			While tucking one card behind another in physical game play is obvious, it's not as straightforward on BGA. The reasons you may want to tuck cards are explained elsewhere. This is just intended to help you get the hang of how to do this in the BGA interface.

			==== Tucking on Local Projects ====
			To play a card on a Local Project, you have two options: '''replace''' of your current projects or '''support''' a current project. In the BGA interface replacing is obvious, just tap/click the card you want to use and then tap/click the project card you want to replace and the initial card you clicked will move to cover the current project card, thus becoming a new, active project. However, supporting a project requires "tucking" a card behind the project card and any other cards already tucked behind it. First you tap/click the card in your "hand" that you want to add to (support) a project and that then lights up an area above each project with a green rectangle. Tap/click that green rectangle to "tuck" your card "behind" the project card.

			==== Tucking on Global Projects and Crisis Cards ====
			To tuck a card from your hand behind a Global Project Card or a Crisis Card, the process is roughly the same as for Local Projects with one major difference. When you select (click) the card from your hand that you want to tuck, you then scroll down to where the Global and Crisis cards are displayed and click the card that you want the card from your hand to be tucked behind. There is no visual on the GP and CC cards to indicate how you tuck the card from your hand behind the CP or CC card. While "drag and drop" might seem like the thing to do, that does not work.

	'''Global Project Cards:''' BGA will display two Global Project cards. As a group you will decide on which one to keep/use by voting. Each World Power has one vote. In the event of a tie, BGA will break the tie and choose a Global Project for you. ''Beware of round 5!'' There can only be four global projects in play at a time. In rounds 5 and 6, you will have the option to keep your existing cards ("Lock Vote" without selecting a card), or vote for a new card ''and'' vote for the removal of an existing Global Project.

	Study each Global Project so that everyone understands what is needed to activate the card. In the next stage, you should discuss which World Power is best poised to activate the Global Project. If no World Power has the necessary card(s), stay alert to whether any of you acquire those cards via opportunities to draw more cards. Activating the Global Project should be a priority as it offers helpful support in achieving your goals toward reaching Drawdown. Activating is achieved by "tucking" the required Local Project card or cards behind the Global Project card. Once a Local Project card is used in this manner, it can never be played again and will be discarded at the end of the round.

	SUGGESTION: Each round, make note on paper outside of BGA regarding what is needed to mitigate against the coming crisis and what is needed to activate the Global Project. This can help you not lose sight of it as it is out if sight in the base play area of the game on your screen (scroll down to read it).

Scroll down to look at~~ the ~~new numbers on~~ the ~~thermometer and~~ the ~~carbon~~/~~emissions sections~~.		HINT: Before moving on to the next round, scroll down to review the results of the crises and the planetary effects (on the right side of the screen). You need to know what your "trouble areas" are so that you can work to fix them in the next round. For example, are any of the planetary effects close to a Tipping Point (seesaw/fulcrum icon)? The Crisis Stage "resolution" happens very quickly on BGA and it is easy to miss all that has happened (this is a bit unfortunate, as taking stock of the effects of all of the actions is important for learning the dynamics of stopping/mitigating climate change).

	'''Crisis Stage:''' This ~~is when the~~ planetary effects of your actions are determined by a roll of the die and the crisis or crises for the round are ~~also~~ executed.		'''Crisis Stage:''' This stage has two components: 1) The planetary effects of your actions are determined by a roll of the die and 2) the crisis or crises for the round are executed.

	'''Growth Stage:''' Daybreak assumes that growth (economic? population?) happens at the end of every round. This is reflected via an increase in energy demand.		'''Growth Stage:''' Daybreak assumes that growth (economic? population?) happens at the end of every round. This is reflected via an increase in energy demand calibrated for the respective World Powers.
