Choose an Action Tile

The tiles have two actions on them, but you only take one out of the pair

All action tile spaces will give a bonus which you can use before or after the tile

If the tile was from the red zone, you must pay to use it

Manage Mines - Either gain 1 gold and progress your gold mines by 1 OR gain gold equal to the quantity of gold mines plus all unlocked mine bonuses

Manage Quarries - Either gain 1 stone and progress your quarries by 1 OR gain stone equal to the quantity of quarries plus all unlocked quarry bonuses

Upgrade - This lets you upgrade an action so it is enhanced in some way when you next select it, it may provide bonuses depending on how you orientate it, it also moves you 1 or 2 spaces on the University track

Amendments

For those who already know the rules: The following Rules where changed or clarified in agreement with the publisher:

• if an action is upgraded again, both upgrades are available for that turn, but only one can be used per action
• if an action tile get's the 5-VP-marker and all spaces in the green area are free it goes to the red area
• when a plaza is evaluated and other players have to make a decision(like choosing a bonus, selecting a technology), they will not immediately become active. Instead, they will become active in turn order once the current player finishes his turn. If the current player wants to know their decisions before continuing, he/she can decide to wait for them.
• The market isn't automatically refilled immediately, so that the current player can still undo his moves. He/she can trigger the refill anytime. At the end of a turn it will be filled automatically.
• Most boni will be given immidiately, because there can be no disadvantage, others(like gold, stone, movements) can be taken manually.
