2. Overview
On Players turn they will send out one Agent from their Faction Board by swapping it with a Die from a Neighbourhood
or Location on the Game Board. This will determine the Die resource they’ll collect, their domination in the
Neighbourhood or Location, and what Action they’ll perform.
Once all Agents has been deployed, the Player with the most Victory Points (★) from Dice resources, Neighbourhoods,
Locations and Missions wins the game!
3. Setup
1. Give all players a Faction Board, an Ability Token and 6 Agents of the same color. Randomly determine a First Player
and give that player the First Player Token.
1. Place the City Board on the middle of the table, the Dock Board on the left side and the Wasteland Board to the right.
Place the Stock Exchange Cubes on the bottom spaces of the tracks of the Crashing Waves Stock Exchange and a Thug
Cube of each used player color on the Cutthroat Prison spaces.
2. Place the Protection Tokens next to the Wasteland Board and The Blood Dome Card above the Blood Dome Location.
Place 3 Dice of every standard color (Teal, Purple & White) in an opaque container. Randomly draw, roll and place 3 of
the Dice on the Blood Dome Card. Place Magmacorium Dice on the Nuclear Springs location according to Player Count
(2 Dice - 2 Players, 3 Dice - 3 Players, 4 Dice - 4 Players, 5 Dice - 5&6 Players).
3. Roll the following amount of standard colored dice depending on player count (9 Dice of each color - 2 Players, 11
Dice of each color - 3 Players, 15 Dice of each color - 4 Players, 16 Dice of each color - 5&6 Players) and randomly place
a Die on each space on the Boards. Do not place Dice on spaces marked for higher player counts (the spaces marked with
3,4,5). These spaces will not be used during the game when playing with a lesser Player count.
2. Deal 2 Faction Cards and 4 facedown Mission Cards to each Player. They each get to keep 1 Faction Card and 2
Mission Cards. The Mission Cards are secret and kept in Players hand. Shuffle the leftover Mission Cards with the rest of
the deck.
Rebalance Cards
Decide which side to use of the Rebalance Cards. The side with the purple
background is the new rebalanced version of the game, and the side with the
blue background is the traditional version (with more player interaction). Place the
Rebalance Cards on top of the Neighbourhood summary section of the Faction
Card with the decided version facing up.
Once you’re comfortable with the game, you may mix it up for more variation by using
a Scenario Card. Scenario Cards introduce unique conditions that bend the rules of the
game. Choose one, randomly or by choice, before the setup and apply the new rules. If
you use “Back to Square One”, remove the “Scavenger” Mission Card.
4. Game Round
Starting with the First Player and in clockwise order, Players take turns swapping one of their
Agents from their Faction Board with a Die in a Neighbourhood (on the City Board) OR Location
(on the Dock or Wasteland Board). They then perform the corresponding Action OR take the Action
of the Crashing Waves Stock Exchange instead.
Please note,Players can NOT send their Agent to the Crashing Waves Stock Exchange and
Cutthroat Prison Locations (please see special rules of how those Locations work below).

5. Neighbourhoods & LocAtions
The Locations of the Docks and the Wasteland work similar to the City’s Neighbourhoods, with some very important
differences. A Location is NOT considered a Neighbourhood in regards of Neighbourhood Actions, Faction Abilities
and for scoring Mission Cards (only if specifically referred to as Locations). Locations are also NOT considered a part
of the City (only Neighbourhoods are).
Players Agents can therefore not be moved or swapped once placed in a Location (from the Wasteland Management
Action for example), and you can’t swap the Dice in a Location by using a Neighbourhood Action (such as the
Observatory Bank). A Location also have 6 spaces instead of 5, but they do not have the standard core value of 5 ★
during scoring of Domination (only the left over Dice counts for ★ when scoring Locations).
Draw a Mission Card and discard one to the bottom of the deck
(Rebalanced version) Swap a Die on your Faction Board with a Die on another Players Faction Board
(Original version) Swap places between two Dice on Faction Boards
A player can NOT send an Agent to the Crashing Waves Stock Exchange. But they
may skip the Action of the Neighbourhood or Location they’ve sent their Agent to,
and instead perform the Action of the Crashing Waves Stock Exchange by moving
one of the Stock Exchange Cubes one step up or down. This might change the
★ value of that particular Dice resource. Players receive the ★ from the Stock
Exchange just before the normal end game scoring starts.
A player can NOT send an Agent to Cutthroat Prison. But before the end of the
game, they must skip a normal Turn and instead brake out the Thug Cube of their
player colour from the prison by swapping it with a Dice in a Neighbourhood or
Location and perform its Action. The Dice left in the prison will be drafted by the end
of the game in turn order before the scoring of the Stock Exchange occurs.
4
THUG CUBES
Thug Cubes counts as 1.5 Agents (1 and a half) during
the scoring of Domination, but they are NOT considered
Agents in regards of Neighbourhood Actions, Faction
Abilities and for scoring Mission Cards.
A player can send their Agent here to change one of their Dice to any value.
When visiting the Blood Dome, if the visiting Player has matching Dice in both color
and value on their Faction Board to those on the Blood Dome Card, they score ★
for them (1 match = 2 ★, 2 match = 4 ★, 3 match = 7 ★). Before scoring, the
visiting Player may reroll the Dice on the Blood Dome Card, one time each. Finally,
regardless of whether the player received ★ or not, place all Dice back in the bag,
draw 3 new Dice and roll and place them on the Blood Dome Card.
Decide who will get the First Player Marker OR take a Protection Token from the supply
and place it around a Die on your Faction Board.
This Location has no Action, but Players may as a turn swap an Agent
from their Faction Board with a Magmacorium Die from this Location.

6. End of the Game
When each Player has put 6 Dice on their Faction Board and sent out their Thug from Cutthroat Prison, the
game ends and ★ are summed up in the Score Pad. ★ are scored in the following way in player order:
1. PRISON DRAFT: Players may in turn order swap one of the Dice on their Faction Board with a Dice in Cutthroat
Prison.
2. STOCK SCORING: Players receive the amount of ★ the Crashing Waves Stock Exchange Stock Cubes are on for
each Dice they have of that Resource.
3. LOOT: Players score ★ equal to the total value of Dice placed on their Faction Board.
4. DOMINATION: For each Neighbourhood, the Player with the most Agents receives 5★ + the value of any leftover
Dice. For each Location, the Player with the most Agents receives the value of any leftover Dice as ★. If tied, the
Players share the ★ value, rounded up.
5. MISSIONS: Players reveal their Mission Cards at the same time and receive ★ from each of them, if eligible.
The Player with the most ★ wins the game! If tied, the Player dominating the most Neighbourhoods
wins the game. If still tied, the Player with the highest total Dice value wins.

9. Campaign Mode
Every campaign consists of 3 games and players will get rewarded perks and advantages after the first 2 games, and the
winner will decide upon the scenario for the next game. Only the 3rd and final game will determine the winner of the
whole campaign!
SETUP
For the start of the campaign, follow the rules of setup, but instead of randomly dealing out Factions, players will pick
which one to play in turn order from a random selection of twice the amount of Faction Cards as there are players. The
Rebalanced side of the Rebalance Card will be used for the first game. For the upcoming games, follow the normal rules
of setup and the instructions of the Scenario Card in play.
