• Action Timer — playing a card flips the two related timers; you may flip them in any order or together
• communication — players may talk openly about details to coordinate, unless a particular event restricts communication
• Compound Scoring — when an event resolves, you record a score by the number of star tokens still showing
• countdown track and sand timers — the objective is to drain sand from timers and advance the countdown track, with orange timer behaving specially
• crowd tokens — crowd tokens indicate audience engagement and must be flipped when a timer runs out; if all are facedown you lose
