Things are people, vehicles, places... troops, starships, fleets, cities, nations, planets, empires.
Actions are what can be done in a 3-second turn, or in a canpaign, ie, year.
There are two kinds of Actions...
Active attacks, skill checks based on what the Thing in Play can do
Defensive saves, as an action or passive.
There are other cards to play The Game...
Events are Missions, Encounters, and timed Events.
Goals are held and once met are shown to end the Game.
--------------------------------------
Take 25 chits and place 10 on the board. This your Home Base.
Build three mobile Units with 3, 2, and 1 chit.
Place one chit on every space adjacent to your Home, as explored, at the cost of 1 chit each.
Continue, spreading out adjacent spaces to claim them. You may establish a Colony on any of them by adding to its value (up to 5 total each).
End Set up
Log your Things and Actions
Every Turn
Move Units at no cost within explored space, as follows:
E1 up to six spaces to an unclaimed space to explore it at the cost of 1 chit;
D2 up to five spaces to patrol and defend explored space at no cost;
C3 up to four spaces in explored space to establish, resupply an Outpost or Colony at the cost of 1 chit;
Build a Unit at Home at the cost of 1 chit (2 Turns for a D2; 3 for C3) for every 10 chits currently in your Treasury
Market changes by flipping the chits remainng in your Treasury, showing Gains minus Losses.
Collect "taxes" from member worlds and Colonies with a positive market; pay those others.
Episodes
Missions are drawn and applied to a random explored space for the nearest suitable Unit to perform;
Encounters are random and occur as a surprise on any one Unit from an external source;
Tasks are dull routine and are applied on any Unit as internal skill checks.
Combat occurs when a border is breached by another Player's mobile Unit

Economics
Everything costs resources in the form of manpower, materiel, and production.
Each Player begins with a Treasury of 25 EPs to be used every "year" or about ten Turns.
- a shipyard for every 10 EP in the Treasury at the start of the Turn;
- starship construction of about 50,000 tons of superstructure, a weapons or mission specialty suite, power and systems distribution, capable of carrying 100+ crew;
FR1 takes a year to build; CA4 takes four years from being laid to comissioned.
Missions, encounters, and tasks
Missions are drawn and applied to any explored parsec-space;
Encounters are random and occur as a surprise on any one ship;
Tasks are dull routine and are applied on any ship.
Combat
Players may attempt to hinder opposing Players thru direct combat at a frontier (edge). The winner takes the loser's piece played. You just present one of your beloved Pieces and declare combat. If you win, you gain agreed upon Points based on the opponent's strength compared to your own AND you take that Piece for your own.
The space and its counterpart is declared a border, neutral zone, nexus, or wormhole between Players' empires. Entry into this space by either side is an act of war. Expansion around it is still allowed.
An opposing Player may covet your Empire, or just part of it's growing territory.
Espionage allows Players to destabilize part of an opponent's empire. A failed attempt loses that asset and points are awarded to its captor.
