Modules of Chimera Station


Default Modules

Important Notes:


  • In the event of any contradictions, the specific module, perk or player board rules always prevail over the general rules.

  • The start player marker may only change hands once per round. The start player can try to prevent losing it, by choosing an action that would give the start player marker to an opponent.

    But, as the marker doesn't 'change hands', this doesn't prevent opponents from obtaining the start player marker in another way, if possible.

  • Any time an action would get you a component and the supply is empty, score 2 points instead.
