with Japanese translation
By acquiring technology that advances with the times, we will become the foundation of technology for the next generation.
The game runs in rounds. Each round consists of a number of phases.
At the beginning of each round, every player earns one dollar. After that, turn the tiles for the number of players. This is the tile you can make in this round.
Round Start player is the first オークショナー. The オークショナー decides which first tile to be auctioned from the displayed tiles.
Then, put the price one by one from the left side of オークショナー. The オークショナー does a price. Instead, there are two choices : You can either sell the tile to the person with the highest price, or you can pick it up yourself.
If you sell, you will receive the amount and then make a オークショナー. If you pick it up by yourself, you can pick it up for free, but the right of オークショナー will transfer to the person on the left.
All the tiles displayed in this way are discarded by auction.
You can then play the auctioned tiles. Tiles other than raw materials really become your own by playing them.
Tiles are not only ingredients, but also technology and bonus points. In some cases, tiles for a technology require materials necessary for the technology, in addition to a turner.
There are three ways to get those ingredients.
One is that I have a stock card. And if you already have a technology card that produces that material, you have to pay the player to buy it.
If the technology to produce that raw material is not played, you can buy it from the bank. Of course, if you have your own production technology, you don't have to pay for it. So, if you have basic technology, you can use it, and you can sell your product.
When the round ends, the start player proceeds.
You go through 15 rounds (16 rounds for 3 players) in 5 (4 for 3 players) times, and finally count winning points.
The winning point comes from having a Poonasu card and the corresponding technology. Other than that, you can gain by having related technologies continuously.
and the last remaining Turler will be the winning point. Of course, the one with the most winning points wins.
How can I get the technology I want or the technology that is easy to play with cheaply below? Also, when it becomes a オークショナー, you have to think about the order of the auction.
If everyone passes the auction, オークショナー takes the tile and the right of the オークショナー is transferred. If you can auction off tiles that other people might buy for a high price, you have a lot of income.
