			First, compare the number of Tanks set aside to the number of Death Rays set aside. If there are more Tanks than Death Rays, you must flee without any abductees; you score zero points for the round, regardless of how many other dice you set aside. If you set aside at least as many Death Rays as Tanks, then you have successfully fended off the Earthling military and will score points for your abductees as follows:

			== Game End ==

			The game end is triggered when one player reaches a total score of 25 points or more. Once this
			happens, the round is completed so that all players have had the same number of turns. At the end
			of that round, the player with the most points wins the game! In the case of a tie, each tied player
			rolls 6 of the Martian Dice, and the player who rolls more Death Rays wins!
