Goal
Gain control of the land by placing terrain and pushing other players.
Collect uranium to exalt your marble and crush your opponents.
Basics
Each player places their boat on an ocean corner.
Boat placement depends on the number of players
Your inventory holds your five player marbles, your protection dome, and underneath, your exalted marble.
End
Any player marble pushed into the ocean is eliminated.
If all your player marbles are eliminated, you lose the game.
End
The winner is the last player who still has at least one player marble in play.
Turn
Each player rolls a die.
The player with the highest die starts.
Play then continues counterclockwise, one player at a time.
On your turn, roll your dice.
Use the highest die as your number of actions.
If you roll doubles, you get an extra turn.
If either of a player's dice shows a 1, they add a new uranium marble on every stable reactor.
Actions
Add a player marble
You must always have at least one player marble in play.
Add a marble from your inventory onto your boat.
Move on the water
You can now move on the water and start placing terrain.
Boat at end of turn
Careful: you cannot end your turn on your boat.
If you do, you lose your marble.
Place terrain and jump onto it instead.
Marbles in play
You may have as many player marbles in play at once as you want, provided you still have marbles left in your inventory.
Build your reactor early
Build your reactor as early as you can; it lets you generate the uranium you need to add your exalted marble.
Stack of two tiles
You may place your reactor only on a stack of two tiles that is fully surrounded by six other terrain tiles.
Remove a reactor
If a reactor is left with no terrain under it, it is removed from the game and must be placed again.
Collect uranium
When you collect uranium, it is added to your inventory.
Walk to a reactor to collect it.
Other players can steal your uranium.
Careful: just like boats, you cannot end your turn on a reactor.
Combat
Push a player
Watch out for being pushed: opponents can push you once per marble per turn.
Smash terrain
You can stop other players from placing their reactors or generating uranium by smashing their terrain with your boat (once per turn, per marble in play).
Combat
Play your exalted marble
As soon as you have 3 uranium marbles in your inventory, you can add your exalted marble onto your boat.
Your exalted marble is special: it cannot be pushed, and it can end its turn on a reactor.
If it is on a reactor that generates uranium, it collects that uranium automatically.
Crush from a reactor
You may jump off a reactor at any time to crush another player, a boat, or a protection dome.
If the exalted marble lands on terrain, the terrain is removed.
If it lands on a player marble, that marble is removed from the game.
If it lands on a boat, the boat capsizes and must be refloated before it can be used.
If the exalted marble lands on a protection dome, the dome is shattered along with the marble under it and the terrain.
After it lands, the exalted marble returns to your inventory.
Defense
Dome before your turn
Before your turn starts, you may place your protection dome on one of your player marbles in play.
You cannot move that player marble during your turn, but it is safe.
