Rules for Manifest Gaia

Manifest Gaia

~ Shuffle the planets and Space cards together, and lay them out face down in a line of alternating rows of two and three like thus:

~ Each player chooses a spaceship.

~ With all ships starting at one end of the line, each player takes turns moving their ships one space at a time, using the cards to represent spaces.

~ When a player moves their ship on to a face down card, they must flip it over and follow the “Explore” directions.

~ When a players moves their ship on to a face up card, they must follow the “Travel” directions.

~ If the card they are Exploring or Traveling on is a “Planet” card, they have the option of Terraforming and Colonizing the Planet provided they have the Gas and Ore to spend on it.

~ Many cards will award players with points of Gas (White chips) or Ore (Black chips) which can be used to Terraform planets.

~ Once a Planet is colonized, place a chip matching that player’s Ship color on the planet. This claims the planet as theirs and no one else can colonize it now.

~ The game is over once all cards have been Explored, and all Planets have been colonized.

~ Each player scores the Colony Points listed on their Planets.

~ The player with the most Points Wins.
