Milestones

How milestones are claimed and shared, and all 18 base-game milestones with their requirements and benefits.

Claiming milestones

Milestones reward the first player to reach a goal. Each one changes the rest of your game, so plan around which ones you can reach before the others.

• Meet a milestone’s requirement and cover it with a ✓ on your milestone tray.
• Everyone who meets it in the same round claims it, with the full benefit.
• At the end of that round, everyone else covers it with a ✗ : it is gone.
• Benefits are mandatory, even when they hurt you.
• One action may claim several milestones at once.

“Played” milestones are claimed when you reveal your structure in Restructuring; employees on the beach don’t count.

The milestones

The milestone pictures show the original edition’s board; some names are worded differently on the Special Edition tray.

The Ketchup Mechanism expansion has a different set of milestones.
