You are captaining a starship through a newly-discovered galaxy. Your mission: to recruit a crew of alien species and robots, synergizing their skills to earn points. During the course of the game, you will deploy 5 ships. Each will land on, then explore, new worlds. Collect sets, fulfill objectives, set off combos.

== COMPONENTS: ==

Captain cards (black border):

~ Everyone starts with only a captain card in play.

~ The captain's occupation (skill) symbol in the upper right corner counts toward set completion.

~ The card also features a bonus action track that is triggered whenever a Veteran card is put into play. Each captain has a unique set of bonus actions.

Crew Cards: (specialists, emissaries and robots)

Specialists (blue border, animal head symbols)

~ Comprised of 6 different animals that can be collected for points.

~ Each has an occupation symbol (top right of card) that can be collected for points AND used in combos.

Emissaries (brown border, clipboard symbol)

~ These grant points at the end of the game for meeting objectives.

~ These also animals that count toward set collection

Robots (green border)

~ These are worth points (as shown inside a yellow hexagon in the top right corner).

~ May have an occupation symbol in the top right corner.

Veterans (medal symbol)

~ Specialists, Emissaries and Robots can all be veterans. Look for a medal symbol at the top left corner of the card to indicate whether they are a veteran.

~ Putting a veteran into play earns an immediate bonus action

Planets:

Each planet card has 2 landing spaces on the bottom and 2 exploration spaces at the top. Each grants an action: draw cards or play cards. You must land a ship on a planet before you can explore it.

~ Some planets feature a condition that must be met before the action can be taken, such as discarding a card from your hand or having specific symbols in play. You may not land a spaceship there unless the condition has been met.

~ Two planet cards are undiscovered. They are not available to land on and explore until you have put 6 crew and 9 crew into play respectively.

~ If you're not able to land or explore, you must pass your turn.

Spaceships:

Plan wisely - you only have 5 ships to place. After landing, a ship can explore one time.

== HOW TO PLAY ==

On each turn, you will land or explore, then resolve the planet's action.

COMBOS occur when you play a card. Most crew have an ability on the bottom left of the card. These are triggered immediately when played.

~ Some abilities may require you to meet a condition (such as having a robot or specific occupation in play). If the condition is not met, you can still play the card, but you can't use the card ability.

== GAME END ==

Game ends after 10 rounds, once everyone has landed AND explored with their 5 spaceships.

== POINTS ==

Points are only earned for cards that you put into play during the course of the game. Cards in hand have no value.

SETS OF THE SAME ANIMAL:

~ the 1st 2 animals aren't worth any points

~ 5 points for the 3rd animal

~ 5 points apiece for each additional animal in the sets

SETS OF DIFFERENT ANIMALS:

~ 15 points for each set of all six different animal species

EMISSARY CARD OBJECTIVES:

~ Earn points as described on the card

ROBOTS

~ Earn points equal to the amount in the hexagon symbols on all of your robot card

VETERAN BONUS

~ Each captain card gives points for the 4th veteran you put into play. If you don't put 4 into play, you don't receive these points.
