SETUP

Shuffle the common deck.
Each player starts with 3 Sector Tokens.
Each player draws 10 cards.
VICTORY

TURN SEQUENCE
Players alternate turns.

A turn consists of the following 3 phases:
1. Draw Phase
2. Attack Phase
3. Discard Phase
DRAW PHASE
Draw 4 cards.
If the deck runs out, shuffle the discard pile, and continue play.
ATTACK PHASE
The active player is the attacker.
The active player may choose not to attack or to attack one target player.
Attacker chooses attack mode: Military (M), Political (P), or Economic (E)
Players take turns playing cards face down, starting with attacker.
Cards played must have a value matching the selected mode of attack, or
must affect other target cards in some way.
In a multiplayer game, other players may play cards in support of the attacker
or the defender at their invitation.
Cards are played until neither player wants to play any more cards.
The winner is the player with the highest total value in the selected attack mode.
Only cards in play (not discarded) count towards the total values.
In case of a tie the defender wins.
All cards played are discarded.
If the Attacker wins he takes one Sector Token from the defender.
If the Defender wins, no tokens are exchanged.
DISCARD PHASE
