Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Alexa integration (optional) — Game can be played with an Amazon Alexa skill to guide play and provide ambient sounds and progress tracking.
- Build a module — Use the build action to attach a module tile to the dome once its resource costs are satisfied; four inner modules must be built before others.
- Color matching / color-coded modules — Some modules have color indicators; to win you must complete all modules that share the dome's color.
- Dome life support currency — Life support cubes are spent to perform actions and are limited; if you run out, you must ignore or adjust events.
- End round cleanup — At end of each round players remove life support cubes, return tokens, and pass the first player token; resources return to the bag.
- Event deck and die — A top event card is drawn each round; a die is rolled to determine which event occurs and effects are applied.
- Events — A top event card is drawn each round; a die is rolled to determine which event occurs and effects are applied.
- mine — On a turn a player can mine up to two resources from the mining area and place them on modules that require them.
- Module actions — Specific modules grant new actions that can be used on turns (e.g., duplicating a resource at the machine shop).
- Play a crew card — Play a crew card from hand; resolve one option based on skill level, discarding or keeping as appropriate.
- Repair / shutdown — Damaged modules can be shut down by flipping them; repaired by rebuilding or swapping with a shutdown module to bring them back online.
- Resource Management — Resources are drawn from a bag and placed on modules; some resources (e.g., rare earth) are special and require other actions to acquire.
- round structure — There are 12 rounds that progress preparations, planning, and actions.
