|
|||
|
|
clockwise order until a player announces HACK THE PLANET. Each turn
|
|||
|
|
proceeds as below.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
[4.2] TAKING A TURN
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
[4.2.1] Add a card from your hand to your FILES & resolve the
|
|||
|
|
action described in the card's Info Box if the card's
|
|||
|
|
criteria are met.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
[4.2.2] Add the card from the top of the deck or the card in
|
|||
|
|
the SNOOP space to your hand. If you remove the card
|
|||
|
|
from the SNOOP space, replenish the SNOOP space
|
|||
|
|
immediately & if there are no cards left in the DECK
|
|||
|
|
after replenishing the SNOOP space then HACK THE PLANET.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Some cards modify how you draw cards, draw appropriately
|
|||
|
|
where the criteria in the card's Info Box are met, the
|
|||
|
|
effect of these cards apply to drawing from the DECK
|
|||
|
|
only & do not apply if you chose to move the card from
|
|||
|
|
the SNOOP space to your hand.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
[4.2.3] Without revealing the cards to any other players, move 1
|
|||
|
|
card from your hand to the hand of the player on your
|
|||
|
|
left & move 1 card from your hand to the hand of the
|
|||
|
|
player on your right.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
[4.2.4] From your hand, return cards to the bottom of the DECK
|
|||
|
|
until you are left with only 1 card in your hand.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
[5] HACK THE PLANET
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
[5.1] When there are no cards left in the DECK or when resolving a card
|
|||
|
|
that instructs you to HACK THE PLANET, the player who's turn it is
|
|||
|
|
should loudly announce "HACK THE PLANET", all other players should
|
|||
|
|
loudly respond "HACK THE PLANET" - there is no penalty for not
|
|||
|
|
doing this aside from having to live with being a lamer.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
[5.2] The player that announced HACK THE PLANET should complete their
|
|||
|
|
turn & play should proceed as normal.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
[5.3] When the player who announced HACK THE PLANET takes their next turn,
|
|||
|
|
the game is over & the score should be tallied. See WINNING & LOSING
|
|||
|
|
below for more info.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
[7] WINNING & LOSING
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
[7.1] At the end of the game, each player adds up the DATA VALUE of the
|
|||
|
|
cards in their FILES & the player with the highest number wins. Easy.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
[7.2] In the event of a draw, I'm sorry, you have to play again.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|

|
|
|
|||
|
|
[8] VARIANTS
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
[8.1] Open Source. Players hands are kept face up, below their FILES so
|
|||
|
|
each player can see what the other players have in their hand.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
[8.2] Encrypted. Players FILES are kept face down. When it's time to HACK
|
|||
|
|
THE PLANET, all players overturn their cards before the last round is
|
|||
|
|
played. The card in the SNOOP space should remain face up in this
|
|||
|
|
variant.
