| CE | Game Setup: For each other player in the game, place two anxiety tokens on this sheet (e.g., eight tokens in a five-player game). You have the power of Anxiety. As a main player or ally, during the planning phase, you may use this power to name one other main player or ally who makes you anxious (for any reason). Explain why and seek a remedy. Regardless of who's making you anxious, any player or players may, individually or together, offer you a remedy of anything they could give you as part of a deal and/or abandon one of their colonies (returning the ships to other colonies). You have one minute to either accept one remedy or give the named player one of your anxiety tokens. At the end of any encounter that has a winner and a loser, the winner may give up to half of his or her anxiety tokens (rounded up) to the loser, but may give only one if the loser is you. Anxiety tokens may also be traded in deals. The player or players who have the most anxiety tokens (even you) cannot land their ships on a planet if establishing the colony would win them the game. Those ships return to other colonies. |
