Overview

Complete the most quests at the end of 5 rounds

Fred's Queue

The round is divided up by Fred and his Queue

Funding

Research

Ejection

Discovery

Quests

Every player completes their turn in one phase before moving on to the next

Funding Phase

Each player gains 3 eV and gains a card from a pile of their choice (this can be increased by certain quests)

If a player draws Neutrino, it is resolved as drawn

Research Phase

Players try to outbid each other on the five Particle Accelerators

The first bidder bids at any number on any device

The following player either bids higher at the same device, or starts bidding on a different device

If a player is outbid, they take back their bidding token at that device

If it comes round to a player and they already have their bidding token out, they pass

Once all players pass consecutively, meaning everyone has a bid token on a different device, bidding ends

The players pay eV for the final bid they made (no bids can be made a player couldn't have paid for)

The players take all cards under the device they won the bid on

Like before, if a Neutrino is claimed this way, it is activated immediately

Ejection Phase

Certain completed Quests first give those players extra cards at the beginning of this phase, no one else gains cards naturally

For every 5 cards in hand, a player must eject one (this can be reduced by certain quests)

Mix the player ejected cards with the unclaimed cards from the Particle Accelerators to make a Discovery Zone

Each card a player had to eject refunds them with 1 eV (this can be increased with certain quests)

Certain quests allow players to draw cards at the end of this phase, this is not a natural draw for everyone
