Game Setup

The power icon in the center of the play area begins at 3.

Each player begins with two cards already in play: his vehicle, and one mission (his 20 difficulty mission). The three remaining missions from your deck are set aside in a mission pile, then the rest of your deck is shuffled.

You draw six cards from your deck to form your opening hand. Upon looking at this hand, you may take a “mulligan” if you wish: you may deal 1 damage to your vehicle to reshuffle that hand into your deck and draw a new hand of six cards. You may do this only once.

One player is randomly selected to take the first turn.
