Roll dice

You will see dice lined up below your black strip. First, assign a die to one of the 5 roles on the black strip at the top (click any die, then the black strip role). Each role chosen this way by a player will definitely happen, while the roles not chosen by anyone will be skipped.

(In a two-player game, the computer also rolls a white die to randomly choose an extra role.)

Next, role phases happen in order. Dice you have under each chosen role (and the die on the black strip) will be used to perform that role's action(s). Any dice under roles not chosen go back into your cup, automatically.

Perform actions

Face Action Description Notes
Explore Scout Discard 0 or more tiles, then draw that many plus 1. Put tiles back after drawing.
Explore Stock Get 2 Money (max 10 money)
Develop Develop Add a die to a development. Automatically built if it has enough dice during develop. (Possibly several developments per round.)
Settle Settle Add a die to a world. Automatically built if it has enough dice during settle. (Possibly several world per round.)
Produce Produce Add one die per world. See "Consume" for discussion of color.
Ship Trade Remove another die on a built world; gain money equal to the world color it is on Blue = 3, Brown = 4, Green = 5, Yellow = 6
Ship Consume Remove another die on a built world. Get +1 victory point. Bonus 1 (+1 VP): If the die removed from the planet is purple or matches the planet's color.

Bonus 2 (+1 VP): If the ship die used is purple or matches the planet's color

Recruit citizens

All used dice go into your citizenry (your personal dice pool) -- you will have to spend 1 money per die to buy them back. If you spend all your money, you get 1 money at the end of the round.

You can also retrieve any dice that are stuck on developments or worlds at this point, or leave them there for the next round.

If everyone has fewer than 12 tiles built (players start with 3 tiles) and not all the VP chips are used up, then another round is played.

(Watch Out!)

If you happen to get the Alien Archeology starting tile/ability, ($4 instead of $2 when stocking using a yellow die,) note that the first die used in the Explore phase will always be a yellow die, if possible, regardless of the die you select. Be sure to stock first to get the $4, then scout afterward.
