Order of play

ORDER OF PLAY

Each Strategy Card has an Initiative Number printed near its top. This number represents what place in the order of play its owner will be. Thus, the player who has the Leadership Strategy card is always first, followed by the player who controls the Diplomacy Strategy card, etc.

The order of play, as dictated by the Strategy Cards, is as follows:

1. Leadership Strategy

2. Diplomacy Strategy

3. Assembly Strategy

4. Production Strategy

5. Trade Strategy

6. Warfare Strategy

7. Technology Strategy

8. Bureaucracy Strategy

9. Prospect Strategy

When the turn order advances to an unchosen Strategy Card in the common play area, simply skip it and proceed to the next number. If, for example, no player picked the Leadership Strategy card during the Strategy Phase, the first player in the turn order would be the player who selected the Diplomacy Strategy.

In 3-4 player games, players will have 2 SCs each: use their lower numbered SC to determine their order of play.
