The Active Player draws X hexagons from the Hex Deck. They show them to all the players and choose one that they can place on the map following the exploration rules:

• The hexagon must touch either the Landing Zone or at least 2 other hexagons.

• The newly placed hexagon must match the landscapes of all other hexagons it is adjacent to (ex: mountain must connect to mountain, desert to desert, and so on).

• The Active Player must be able to reach the newly placed hexagon with one of their units. A Scientist can only move to the new hexagon from an adjacent one.A Motorized Scientist can move up to X hexagons to reach the newly placed one. Only one unit must be moved onto the new hexagon. If no unit can reach the new hexagon legally, then this new hexagon cannot be placed. A wounded Scientist cannot explore. …

• Once during the turn, the Leader can change the value of any die just before it reaches the Cataclysm icon.

  Although this card is revealed during step 2, the leader applies the effect right before any Cataclysm phase.

  If the Leader doesn't use this bonus effect before the end of the turn, the effect is lost. …

The little that remained of humanity was forced to abandon their once flourishing home planet, now left as nothing more than a gigantic, barren rock.

Traveling further and further through the vast unknown space, they explored all sorts of new planets in search of one capable of sustaining human life, rich enough with resources to last generations.

There have been numerous planets discovered since Earth was abandoned, each ultimately being exploited and used as a temporary stop in an effort to keep the search going as strong as possible. …
