Start of Game:
Choose 3 out of 6 cards to start your hand with.
There are three types of card:
Hour glass - effect at the end of game (usually specific number of points for specific types of Animus space or portal color)
Thunder bolt - immediate effect when a portal is completed. Effect must be applied when portal was completed and cannot be reserved for later use.
Crown - no effect. Just points.
Rounds:
One Animus token will be drawn each round.
Choose a blue crystal and decide where you want to place it. You can choose a crystal from either your reserve OR from another portal card.
Option to pass and not place a crystal (but why would you want do that?)
Option to claim an award.
Awards:
There are two rows of awards.
Top row - based on number and specific color(s) of portals completed.
Bottom row - number of total portal completed.
IMPORTANT: Player can only claim ONE award from the bottom row and it can only be claimed when that specific number of portals are completed.
i.e. Once you've claimed the four-portal award, you may NOT claim the five-portal one later on when you have completed your 5th portal. IF you choose to forego the five-portal award when you completed your 5th portal, you may NOT later on claim that award.
