Objective of the Game

Ações e Como Jogar
Faction Board
- The faction owner may pay one fuel to move the REV to an adjacent territory and may then use that territory’s bonus as if the faction owner controlled the territory.
- A player docked at Xeno Explorations, Inc. may move the REV to an adjacent territory and may then use that territory’s bonus as if the player controlled the territory.
- If the faction owner is able to move the REV twice on the same turn, the territory bonuses gained may only be used while the REV is located in each specific territory.
REV Rules
- The REV may only move into a territory that shares a border with the territory in which the REV is currently located.
- The REV only activates a territory bonus when it first moves into a territory.
- A REV that has not moved grants no bonus.
- The REV cannot activate the Burroughs Desert territory bonus.
- The Repulsor Field blocks the REV from entering or exiting that territory.
- The Isolation Field blocks the REV from activating that territory’s bonus.
- Moving the REV into a territory you already control grants you no additional benefit.
Alien Tech Card: Seismic Detonator
- The Seismic Detonator has no function other than its discard power and it is a one-use card. Once discarded, the Seismic Detonator is removed from the game.
- You may discard the Seismic Detonator to move all colonies in one territory to adjacent territories of your choice.
- The Repulsor Field blocks the use of the Seismic Detonator in that territory.
