Nekonyancer[img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/img6785ed701580c3.67027664.jpg[/img] You are competing with rival solar systems during a five-year trial period to be inducted into a galactic federation! [green][tip] This tutorial is best viewed on a computer![/green]1pagesubtitle

NekonyancerDuring each year (round) of Federation, each player must allocate four *Ambassadors,* which will take actions and increase your influence on various planets, vote on short-term legislation, and fund long-term projects, all with the goal of accruing the most *prestige.* [green]After five years, the player with the most prestige will be officially welcomed into the Federation![/green]2pagesubtitle

NekonyancerAt the beginning of the game, several [red]*starting tiles*[/red] are drawn. The number of tiles is always equal to the *number of players plus 1.* Each player must select one of them in *reverse turn order.*3tile-selector-1

NekonyancerWe have the [blue]*President pawn,*[/blue] marking us as the first player. [red]That means our opponent will select a starting tile first![/red]4meeple-firstPlayer

NekonyancerAlright, they picked a tile. Now it's our turn. The [red]*left tile*[/red] provides two *Lavandium* - a basic resource. The [blue]*right tile*[/blue] grants an *assistant die,* which I'll explain later on. *Take the assistant die!*1pagesubtitle

Nekonyancer[blue]Now we're ready to start Round 1![/blue] Each round is divided into two phases - the [blue]*Ambassador Phase,*[/blue] in which each player takes four turns, and the [red]*Executive Phase,*[/red] in which laws are passed and prestige points are awarded.1pagesubtitle

NekonyancerOn our turn, we must select one of our [blue]*Ambassadors*[/blue] and place it on a space in the [red]*Senate.*[/red] Each space allows us to take a different action. Since this is a 2-player game, some of the spaces have been blocked off by neutral Ambassador tiles.2senate_space-17

NekonyancerLet's try it! *1.* Select the [red]*"3" Ambassador.*[/red] *2.* Select the space on the *right side* of the Senate with a [blue]blobby blue planet[/blue] icon on it. It will let us take an action on that planet. *3. Confirm* your action at the top!3senate_space-4

Nekonyancer*Great!* [blue]Welcome to *6Moon,* a mystic world of alteration.[/blue]1planet-blue-7

NekonyancerEach player has a [red]*"mage pawn"*[/red] here. When we take an action on [blue]6Moon,[/blue] our mage pawn will advance to the next moon. We can then claim one *Alteration Token* from that moon.2planet-blue-0

NekonyancerLet's do it! *Select this [red]Alteration Token.[/red] Then confirm your choice!*3meeple-26

Nekonyancer[blue]Excellent![/blue] The Alteration Token is now in our [red]*inventory.*[/red] We'll see what it does very soon.1reserve-alterations-11941354

NekonyancerNote that when our mage pawn advanced, all the tokens on the [red]*next moon*[/red] were revealed. [green]As we progress to further moons, we'll find stronger and stronger tokens![/green]2meeple-33

NekonyancerFinally, note the [blue]numbered flag[/blue] near each moon. These flags indicate your *influence* on the planet. [green]Our mage pawn is now on the first of 6Moon's six moons, so we have 1 influence here![/green]3planet-blue-1

NekonyancerYou can easily check your Influence for each planet *here.* See? [green]*1 Influence*[/green] on 6Moon!4counter-11941354-inf6moon

NekonyancerOkay, I think we're done here. Let's go back to the Senate. *Click on the [red]Senate tab.[/red] Then continue to the next step.*5left-column-selectors

NekonyancerLet's get back to that *Ambassador* token we used. I'm sure you're wondering why it has a "3" on it. That number represents the Ambassador's *number of votes.* [blue]Votes are good for two things...[/blue]6senate_space-4

Nekonyancer*1.* At the end of the round, we'll score points for each *floor* (horizontal row) on which we have the most votes. [green]With our powerful "3" Ambassador here, we have a good shot at scoring for the third floor![/green]7senate_space-4

Nekonyancer*2.* There are [red]*two proposed laws*[/red] on display at the bottom of the Senate. One of them will be passed at the end of the round. When it does, each player will score *2 points* per level of *Influence* they have with the indicated planet.8senate-right-law

NekonyancerEach Ambassador will put all their votes behind whichever proposal is on *their side* of the Senate, so the token we placed will put 3 votes toward [red]*Red planet*[/red] scoring. That's not great, considering we just gained influence on [blue]6Moon,[/blue] but don't worry. [green]I have a plan.[/green] ;)9senate_space-4

Nekonyancer[blue]It's our opponent's turn to place a token now.[/blue]10archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment

Nekonyancer[blue]Okay, next turn![/blue] Let's learn more about that Alteration token we acquired. *Click on [red]this Ambassador token,[/red] then the [blue]Alteration Token.[/blue] Then continue to the next step.*1meeple-2-funding

Nekonyancer[red]The Alteration Token has been laid over the Ambassador token, altering it! [/red] In this case, it's been altered into a *Funding* token. Funding tokens are actually the *backsides* of our Ambassador tokens. When we play a token on its Funding side, we will still get to perform the space's action. However, it will behave differently in the Senate.2meeple-26-selector-viewer

NekonyancerInstead of helping you score for a floor and vote for a proposed law, a *Funding token* will... • fund a *Major Project.* • grant access to a *Special Mission.* In addition, this particular token has a *gray +1* icon on it, showing that it will increase our *Authority* by 1 point when played. [green]I'll explain more about Projects, Missions, and Authority soon.[/green]3meeple-26-selector-viewer

NekonyancerFor now, *place our Altered token on the [red]dark purple planet.[/red]* *Then confirm your action!*4senate_space-11

Nekonyancer[red]Welcome to Atalum, an intellectual world where the greatest minds in the Federation congregate.[/red] When you take an action on Atalum, you can enlist the help of one *Erudite.* There's one Erudite for each planet in the Federation.1meeple-68

NekonyancerWe have big plans for the red planet this round. *Click on this Erudite tile! Then confirm!*2meeple-82

Nekonyancer*Great!* The Red Erudite's Tier 1 tile is now in our inventory. It will give us a special benefit when we visit the Red planet later, but it can only be used once. [green][tip] You can hover over it for more info![/green] It will also give us access to their *Tier 2 tile,* if we come back to visit them again!1meeple-82

NekonyancerBGA has already revealed a *Red Tier 2* tile. As you can see, there are also *Tier 3* tiles on this planet, but we'll obviously need a corresponding Tier 2 tile to take one!2meeple-85

NekonyancerBGA also replaced the Tier 1 tile that we selected. By the way, these tiles also determine our *influence* on Atalum. [green]Each tile grants *1* influence![/green]3meeple-83

Nekonyancer[blue]Alright, I'm tired of these Erudites and their pretentious attitudes.[/blue] You can tell they're pretentious because they chose to call themselves *Erudites* instead of *scientists.* The only reason they could possibly have is that they like using words that "common" workers won't understand. Honestly... 🙄 *Head back to the Senate using the tabs at the top. Then continue to the next step.*4left-column-selectors

NekonyancerNext, I'll explain more about the *Funding* aspect of that alteration token we used. Instead of voting for a law, Funding tokens fund whatever [red]*Major project*[/red] is in its column, moving its [green]*tracker*[/green] one space to the right.5senate-project-3

NekonyancerAt the end of the game, each Major Project will grant bonus Prestige to whoever has the most Influence on the planet shown... [red]... but only if the Project is *completely* funded![/red]6senate-project-3

Nekonyancer[blue]*This Project*[/blue] is a little different. It will grant Prestige to players who carried out the most *Special Missions.* [green]We'll get to Special Missions soon.[/green]7senate-project-2

NekonyancerThe big project in the middle is called the [red]*Group Major Project.*[/red] Whenever a project is *overfunded,* the excess funding goes toward this one. Abilities that allow us to fund a project of our choice can also be used on this. [green]This project will grant Prestige to whoever funds it the most.[/green]8big-project

NekonyancerEach Senate space also has a *Special Mission* associated with it, all of which are laid out on our personal board. Whenever we place a Funding token on a space, we'll gain [green]*access*[/green] to the corresponding mission, if we don't have it already.9mission_space-11941354-12

NekonyancerSo, when we placed a Funding token [red]*here,*[/red] on the Atalum Senate space, we gained access✔️ to the Atalum Mission on our personal board. We also secured one step of funding for the [blue]*Red Major Project.*[/blue]10senate_space-11

Nekonyancer[blue]Now that we have access to a Special Mission, BGA wants to know if we want to carry it out.[/blue] You get the option to carry out one mission after each of your turns, but we'll get to this later. *Click on "Pass" at the top.*11btnPassAction

Nekonyancer*Turn 3!* We [blue]*voted*[/blue] for a Red law, acquired a [red]*Red Erudite tile,*[/red] and funded the [green]*Red Major Project.*[/green] It's time for us to finally visit the Red planet.1senate_space-0

NekonyancerHowever, if we place an Ambassador on the left side of the Senate, it will vote for [blue]6Moon Influence points[/blue] instead! We'd better use a *Funding* token.2senate-left-law

Nekonyancer*Select this [red]Funding token.*[/red] It has a Lavandium resource on it. Remember, anything on tokens will go into our inventory when the token is used. *Place the token on the Red planet. Then confirm your action!*3meeple-3-funding

Nekonyancer[red]At long last, welcome to Neo, an asteroid world rich in natural resources.[/red] Just like on [blue]6Moon,[/blue] each player has a pawn here. When we take an action, our pawn will advance to the next space, and we'll get the resources shown on it.1miner-92143487

NekonyancerLike most planets, the spaces farther on the tracks offer more valuable rewards. Let's use the [red]*Erudite tile*[/red] we picked up last turn to *skip* the first space! [blue]*Click here!*[/blue]2btnProgressTwice

Nekonyancer*Great!* We gained 1 [red]*Lavandium*[/red] and 1 [green]*Coppernium.*[/green] It's important to remember that we can only hold *10 crystal resources* at a time. In other words, our *[red]Lavandium[/red] + [green]Coppernium[/green] + [blue]Oceanium[/blue] ≤ 10.*1counter-11941354-lavandium

NekonyancerAlso, we can only hold up to 5 [red]*Gold Diamonds*[/red] and 5 [blue]*Spaceships*[/blue] at a time. You can't get more than 9 Spaceships in a single game.2counter-11941354-spaceship

NekonyancerTake a look at [red]*these spaces*[/red] on Neo. Just like on [blue]6Moon,[/blue] they were revealed when we reached the space just before them!3meeple-asteroid-1

NekonyancerBut unlike [blue]6Moon,[/blue] [red]*these spaces*[/red] are actually *detours.* They offer extremely valuable resources, but if we stop to pick them up, we won't get as much *Influence* on Neo, which is based on our *position* on the track. [green]Right now, we're on the 2nd space, which means we have 2 Influence.[/green]4meeple-asteroid-1

Nekonyancer[blue]That's it for our main action.[/blue] Next, just like last turn, we now have the option of executing a *Special Mission.* I think this is a good time to do it. [green]But first, we'd better make sure we're cleared for takeoff![/green]5mission_space-11941354-9

Nekonyancer*1.* Did we receive access to the Special Mission in question by placing a *Funding* token on the required Senate space? We have placed funding tokens on the Atalum and Neo action spaces so far, giving us access to both of those missions. [green]Check![/green] ✔️6mission_space-11941354-9

Nekonyancer*2.* Do we have a [green]*spaceship?*[/green] We started the game with this one. Each spaceship can only go on *one* mission, but we're good for now. [green]Check![/green] ✔️7counter-11941354-spaceship

Nekonyancer*3.* Is our level of *Authority* high enough? [red]*This marker*[/red] indicates our current level of Authority. We can only carry out missions that are in the *same row or lower.* The mission we want to carry out (Red) is in this row! [green]Check![/green] ✔️8authority-11941354

NekonyancerOkay, we have everything we need! *Click here to launch the Neo Special Mission! Then confirm your action!*9mission_space-11941354-9

NekonyancerPlanet-based Special Missions let you take another action on the planet in question. [red]Welcome back to Neo![/red] Hmm.... Should we take a [red]*detour*[/red] to pick up precious resources? Or jump to the [blue]*4th space*[/blue] to get as much influence as we can? [blue]What do you think?[/blue]1asteroid-slot-4

NekonyancerRemember, we're trying to pass a law that will grant everyone victory points depending on their *influence* on this planet. [blue]If we jump ahead to the 4th space, we'll have 4 influence, which is quite a lot for the first round![/blue]2asteroid-slot-4

Nekonyancer[green]And that's not all![/green] If we get to *4* Influence, we can get a [red]*Medal*[/red] from Neo! Each planet has one medal available for each player, each at a different level of Influence. They're first-come-first-serve, so if we take the *4* Influence medal, our opponent will have to get all the way to *6* to get the other one!3meeple-14

NekonyancerWell, I'm sold! *Move to the fourth space!*4asteroid-slot-4

Nekonyancer*Great!* The 4-Influence medal from Neo went into our inventory, covering up the first space on [red]*this track.*[/red] At the end of the game, we'll score *Prestige* equal to the *lowest uncovered number.*1meeple-14

NekonyancerAnd before you ask, the answer is no. You cannot get two medals from one planet. [red]Don't be selfish.[/red] You can get 1 from each planet, plus 1 for reaching the 3rd space of the 4th level of Authority, and 1 for carrying out [red]*this Special Mission.*[/red]2reserve-medals-11941354

Nekonyancer*Turn 4!* The [red]*votes*[/red] are neck and neck! We need to make sure Neo's law passes! Fortunately, we have a secret weapon - the [blue]*Assistant die*[/blue] we picked up at the beginning of the game!1senate-right-law-counter

NekonyancerOnce per round, we can use our *Assistant Die* together with an *Ambassador token* to increase its voting power! *1.* Select our last [red]*Ambassador token.*[/red] *2.* Select our [blue]*Assistant Die.*[/blue] *3.* Select the [green]*green planet space*[/green] on the *right side* of the Senate. *4. Confirm* your action!2senate_space-9

Nekonyancer[green]Welcome to E81216, a robotic world of efficiency and automated production.[/green] When we take an action here, we can build either a *Production Structure* to gain resources over time...1planet-green

Nekonyancer... or a *megastructure* to score prestige points!2structure-4

NekonyancerEach structure has... [img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/img6785ed703d8aa8.81069704.jpg[/img] • [red]*A resource cost.*[/red] • [blue]*Activation Icons.*[/blue] • [green]*A product.*[/green]3archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment

NekonyancerThis particular structure [red]*costs*[/red] just 1 Lavandium to build, [blue]*activates*[/blue] both immediately⚡ and at the end of each round⚙️⚙️, and lets us [green]*upgrade*[/green] 1 resource to the next most precious type each time! [img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/img6785ed70603ad7.17687234.jpg[/img] It's the only one we can afford right now, so *select it! Then confirm your action!*4structure-1

NekonyancerIt has a ⚡ icon, so we can get an instant reward! *Upgrade 1 [green]Coppernium[/green] into 1 [blue]Oceanium![/blue]*1pagemaintitletext

Nekonyancer*Excellent!* But I still have more to tell you about [green]E81216![/green] Use the tabs to head back there, then *continue* to the next step.1left-column-selectors

NekonyancerThe structure we built was *not* replaced with a new one. Instead, we placed a *robot pawn* under it. [red]Other players can build this structure as well![/red]2structure-1

Nekonyancer*Megastructures* work a little differently. Each one will grant Prestige points depending on your influence with one of two different planets - whichever is *lower.* The *first* player to build a particular megastructure will get a *x3 multiplier.* The 2nd, a x2 muliplier, and the 3rd, x1.3structure-4

NekonyancerAs an example, let's say that we build [red]*this megastructure*[/red] when we have 3 Influence on [blue]6Moon[/blue] and 5 Influence on [red]Atalum.[/red] If we are the *2nd* player to build this megastructure, we'll score [green]6 points. (3 x 2)[/green]4structure-4

NekonyancerEach production building we build here grants *1* Influence. Each megastructure grants *2* Influence.5left-column-selectors

Nekonyancer*Head back to the Senate.* Each player has taken four actions now, bringing the *Ambassador Phase* to a close. The *Executive Phase* is next, and it has five short steps...1left-column-selectors

Nekonyancer*Step 1:* Each player activates each Production building in which they have a robot. *Click [red]here[/red] to trade 1 Lavandium for 1 Coppernium!*1btnChoice0

Nekonyancer*Step 2: Each player must pay to maintain their current level of Authority.* We're at [red]*Level 2,*[/red] which does not have a cost.2authority-11941354

NekonyancerIf we were at, say, *Level 4,* we'd have to pay 1 [green]*Coppernium*[/green] right now. If we chose NOT to pay, we'd have to drop down to the [blue]highest level of Authority we were willing to pay for[/blue] (Level 3 for 1 Lavandium, Level 2 for nothing).3mission_space-11941354-3

Nekonyancer*Step 3: Each Major Project marker moves 1 space toward completion per Funding token in its column.* In this case, the [red]*Neo Project*[/red] will advance 1 step. The [blue]*Atalum*[/blue] project will advance 2 steps.5meeple-26

Nekonyancer*Step 4:* Each player gains *Prestige* equal to their Level of *Authority* for each floor on which they have the most votes. We have the most on the [red]*top*[/red] floor. We're tied for the [blue]*second*[/blue] floor, so we'll both score for that one. Our current level of Authority is *2,* so [green]we'll score 4 prestige![/green]2senate_space-11

Nekonyancer*Step 5:* The votes are counted up, and one of the two proposed laws passes! In this case, we were successful in getting the [red]Neo[/red] law passed, so each player will score 2 Prestige for each level of Influence they have on Neo! [green]We have 4 Influence, so we'll score 8 points![/green]3senate-right-law

Nekonyancer[red]That was the end of the Executive Phase and the end of Round 1![/red] To prepare for the next round, BGA returned everyone's Ambassador tokens, drew two new proposed laws, and placed new [red]*Neutral ambassadors,*[/red] which get more votes as we progress through the game!4senate_space-9

Nekonyancer[blue]I think you got the gist of the game![/blue] I'll just quickly show you the last few things. *First of all, use the tabs at the top to travel to Arratooine. Then continue to the next step.*5left-column-selectors

Nekonyancer[red]Welcome to Arratooine, a desert planet where you can find anything you need... for the right price.[/red] When you place a market stall in one of [red]*these spaces,*[/red] you trade in whatever is shown under the space and receive whatever is shown over it.6stall-3

NekonyancerFor example, our opponent placed a stall [red]*here*[/red] and traded 1 [green]*Coppernium*[/green] for 1 [blue]*Oceanium.*[/blue] [green]Their influence on Arratooine increased by 1.[/green]7stall-3-1

NekonyancerTheir stall also lets them build a Tier 2 stall up [red]*here,*[/red] the next time they visit Arratooine. When they do, they will pay the same price as their Tier 1 stall, but receive *three times* the reward. They'll also get 2 more Influence.8stall-2-2

NekonyancerThey can come back to reuse their Tier 2 stall over and over, but they'll need to place new market stalls on other spaces if they want to increase their Influence here. [green]That's it for Arratooine![/green] *Head back to the Senate.*9stall-2-2

NekonyancerThere are several Senate spaces that *don't* have planets on them. Fortunately, they're all pretty simple. Just hover over each one, and you can read all about them yourself.10senate_space-2

NekonyancerNext, if you manage to *max out* your *Authority,* you'll receive a special prize: a *Deep Space* tile. Deep Space tiles are extremely powerful. They also count as *Special Missions,* but you don't have to use a spaceship! For example, this tile lets you immediately build a production building or megastructure on [green]Planet E81216[/green] for free! [img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/img6785ed707a65f3.36256812.jpg[/img]11pagesubtitle

NekonyancerFinally, you can only have one *Assistant Die.* If you activate an effect that gives you one when you already have one, the power of the die will be *permanently increased* by 1 instead.12meeple-5selector

Nekonyancer[blue]Okay, that's everything![/blue] The game will continue as you've seen for a total of five rounds (years). [green]Then BGA will count up the points![/green]13archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment

Nekonyancer[blue]Each player's score is comprised of...[/blue] • All the prestige they accumulated throughout the game. • Prestige from completed Major Projects. The amount of Prestige depends on the number of players. • 1 Prestige for every 2 crystals / 1 gold diamond / spaceship / Alteration token remaining. • Prestige from collected Medals. [green]Whoever has the most prestige is inducted into the Federation and wins the game![/green]14pagesubtitle

Nekonyancer[blue]Oh, just a couple more quick things...[/blue] I know there are a lot of rules in this game, and it's hard to absorb everything at once. If you need to clarify something, click on [red]*this guide!*[/red] [blue]It makes it easy to find the information you need![/blue]15open-tour

About Board Game Arena Premium

Board Game Arena's main goal is to promote board games to a large audience. This is the reason why the service is free for everyone.

As you can imagine, this website needs a lot of time and some money to keep things running smoothly. Some players are helping us with contributions or through donations. This website can only exist because of the help from these players, and to thank them we make them Premium members.
