You have two options on your turn:
- "Produce" or
- Take a "Supporting Action" followd by a "Main Action"
Produce Turn
When you produce, the following happens:
- Keep up to 3 resource dice, discard the rest (wild tokens are not dice).
- Discard any number of cards from your hand.
- If you have less than 5 cards, draw until you have 5.
- Roll and add all the resource dice (brown boxes on your corporation card + green project cards).
- Ready blue project cards (yellow, green and red arrows).
Action Turn
You take one supporting action, and one main action. (As a main action you can do a second supporting action)
Supporting Actions
- Roll and add 1 die of any color.
- Pay 1 resource die (any): to turn another die any side.
- Pay 1 resource die (any): to draw 2 cards.
- Use a ready yellow arrow action (blue cards) (this card will be unavailable until you take a produce turn).
Main Actions
- Perform a second support action.
- Play a card from hand (paying its cost in matching resource dice).
- Pay 3 heat resources: to increase temperature 1 step.
- Pay 3 water resources: to place 1 ocean tile.
- Pay 4 plant resources: to place 1 forest tile (and increase oxygen 1 step).
- Pay 3 city resources: to place 1 city tile.
- Pay 3 MegaCredit: resources to immediately gain 2 VP.
- Use a red arrow action (blue cards) (this card will be unavailable until you take a produce turn).
Free Actions
- Use green arrow action (this card will be unavailable until you take a produce turn). Free actions that can be used at any time.

Extra bonuses
- on terraformation tracks (oxygen and temperature) sometimes you get bonus resource dice
- when placing a forest, city etc get covered bonuses
- when reacing 5 and 12 green VP (tracked during the game, not at the end) gain and play a special bonus card frome the bonus pool (2 cards per player)
Victory Points
- Ocean - Gain 2 VP (because it counts as terraforming).
- Forest - Gain 1 VP per adjacent city when placing tile. (If Oxygen is increased 1 step, Gain 2 VP for terraforming.)
- City - Gain 2VP plus 1 VP per adjacent forest.
- Heat - Gain 2 VP (because it counts as terraforming).
- Oxygen - Gain 2 VP (because it counts as terraforming).
- Green Ribbon - Score the printed VPs immediately.
- Red Ribbon - Score these VPs at the end of the game.
Game End
When two out of three of the following "Terraforming" conditions are met, the end of the game is triggered.
All players get one last turn (including the player who just completed the second parameter).

- The temperature track is completed.
- All ocean tiles have been placed.
Players add victory points from Red Ribbons:
