Cards, Boards and Meteorites
How the shared map, player Tableau, cards and Meteorite variants fit together.
Boards
The Expert Plan controls which Experts are available by round. The Harbor offers Expert purchases and the Hangar/Investor/Radio Base actions. A chain of Landscapes leads toward the chosen Meteorite; red edge marks show how to continue the route. Landscapes begin explored or unexplored. Exploring flips one and makes its gear-icon action available to everyone. The Meteorite is chosen during setup; six double-sided tiles provide different effects and scoring. Meteorite -60.2° is recommended for a first game.
The Expert Action Tiles are double-sided. Two are selected during setup; they define the once-per-game Pilot and Mechanic actions and can affect their final value. Common Station Sites are sorted by Engineer requirement; each player also has four personal sites.
This inventory page is a visual overview of the base components and several example faces; it does not certify every distinct card or tile face.
Cards
Your Tableau holds three Expert columns, a bottom row of Expedition Cards, Storm Cards on Bases, your Expedition and Energy tracks, and the areas for Stations, Upgrades and the personal display. Printed icons on Experts and face-up Expedition Cards support the Investor, Radio and Hangar Bases. A Storm covers one Base until removed.
Tiles
- Expedition Cards enter your deck and can be played face up on your Tableau during Preparation.
- Storm Cards cover a Base, affect your Expedition bonuses and provide Energy according to how many are on your Tableau.
- Project Cards are bought into play and provide effects or end-game points.
- Milestone Cards offer thresholds scored in rounds 3, 5 and 6.
- Meteorite Expedition and Project Cards are displayed only when the chosen Meteorite calls for them.
A Forecast Tile can discard a card without ending your Preparation draw. A Radar Tile powers your Tableau’s Radar effects and card purchases. Coins and Construction Material pay for Experts, Stations and Upgrades.
