- Players begin on the third space.
- Players may use captain to "recall" drones unless captain or drones are already in the colony.
- Players play "rock, paper, scissors" to determine victor in same-space battles.
- Each round of turns, the front space tile goes to the back, circulating the game board.

either all for one or split between the 3.
