Each player picks a color for their tokens, places Victory and Royal Support tokens on the map, and gets their Colony tokens ready for conquest. After that, players receive starting cards. During your turn, play your cards. There are two types: tan Action cards to play on your turn and red Reaction cards to use when others play. You can play as many Action cards as you can. Every card can perform basic actions like building, reducing, or repairing a colony, or adjusting Royal Support. Once you finish playing cards, count your points. You get one point for each successful colony and two extra victory points for each export or regional monopoly. Then other players take their turns. After everyone's turn, move the Time Counter. The game ends when the Turn token reaches the Game Over square, and the player with the most Victory Points wins!
