GAME mechanics

• Simultaneous Action Selection: In each round, players simultaneously choose cards to build or recycle. This mechanic speeds up the game and requires strategic planning, as all players act at the same time.
• Collecting Sets: During the game, players collect cards to complete sets that offer additional points or special abilities. Choosing which cards to collect is essential to align with your scoring strategy.
• Hand Management: Players need to manage the cards in their hand, deciding which ones to build to generate resources in the future or which ones to recycle to obtain resources immediately. Effective card management can determine success in the match.
• End of game bonus: Several cards offer bonuses that are only counted at the end of the game. Building with an eye on these bonuses can give you a significant and surprising advantage in the final score.
• Building from a Model: Players build from a pre-established civilization plan. Each card requires specific resources to complete, promoting a strategic building order based on the needs of your empire.
• Contracts: Some cards offer contracts which, when completed, guarantee additional advantages or allow resources and points to be converted more efficiently, rewarding planning and fulfillment.
• Automatic Resource Growth: Once activated, resource production is automatic every turn. Players need to focus on continuously improving their production chain in order to maximize yields throughout the game.
• Closed Purchase: Each choice and development is made secretly, until all decisions are revealed simultaneously. This adds a layer of strategy, where deducing opponents' intentions influences their actions.
• Income: Every end of round, players harvest the resources from their built cards. It's crucial to have an efficient income stream to keep the empire's production and construction active and expanding.
