HOW TO PLAY
1. Cut out the 12 SITE cards, 16 ORE tokens, and these instructions.
2. Shuffle SITE cards thoroughly and then place them face down below the three arrows on this instruction card. Once placed, there should be a grid of 12 SITE cards: three columns wide and four rows deep.
3. To start, collect 10 of the 16 ORE tokens. These tokens are yours to spend, the remaining 6 ORE are set aside.
4. Spend 3 ORE to explore (flip over) one of the three SITES from the top row. Spent ORE is placed in the set-aside pile. Collect the quantity of ORE referenced on the flipped card from the set-aside pile of ORE. (SITES labeled “empty” earn no ORE.)
5. Repeat process for additional cards. Each SITE costs 3 ORE. Cards can only be explored if they are immediately below, left, or right of any card which has already been flipped.
6. Continue until ORE is depleted or 10 SITES have been explored!
