Line 26: == Setup == Place the board (see [~~https~~[:File:~~//www.icehousegames.org/wiki/images/c/cd/~~6x6_-_1.35_in.pdf \|Homeworlds Settlers Board]]) between the players, tilted 45 degrees (like a diamond), so that a dark corner points to each player. Set up the Bank. To do so, stack the pyramids by size and group them by color: Large to Small from back to front; the colors in the order Red, Yellow, Green, and Blue from left to right. Put the bank next to the board where both players can easily reach it. Line 74: == End == * '''End'''. The game ends when ~~all pieces are placed, OR both players pass consecutively.~~ there is no valid move for either player, OR both players pass consecutively, OR ** when, after 36 turns, no ship was conquered. '''Note.''' The choice of 36 allows for all ships to move a space, but is rather arbitrary. More importantly, it creates a finite game in which stalling will fail. '''Note.''' In most cases, the game ends when the board is full. But if captures are still possible, they can be executed after the board is filled. If one of the players is behind, while the other player has no valid move or passes, 36 turns is an arbitrary limit to make a capture. This ensures that the game ends. * '''Win'''. Each player scores the number of points equal to the total pip count of the pieces they own on the board. Max score wins. '''Note.''' If one of the players has more than 36 points, they win. * '''Tie Break'''. ~~In case~~If both players score an equal number of points, ~~then~~ the ~~player with the most number of Large pieces wins. If it’s still a tie, the~~second player ~~with the most number of Medium pieces~~ wins~~. If it’s still a tie, then the game is a draw~~. == Sample Game States == Line 111 ⟶ 116: == Creative Commons == This game is designed by [~~https://www.icehousegames.org/wiki/index.php?title=~~[User:Cuc \|Bruno Curfs]] licensed under the [https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/ Creative Commons International BY-NC-SA 4.0 License].

''Play More Games with the Homeworlds Set'', Aug 2023. * [https://tinyurl.com/HW-Play-More Play More Games with the Homeworlds Set] Bruno Curfs. Facebook Starship Captain Group entry since Dec 16, 2020. Line 125 ⟶ 133: == Change Log == '''20230814''' - Added a link. '''20230616''' - Many edits to clarify the actions. Especially, the Yellow action type was affected most. Also, the End conditions have changed somewhat, because after the board is full, captures can still happen. Unfortunately, the type setting is not yet ideal. Notes were added under the paragraph, but not indented. '''20210418''' - Small edits; Green actions clarified with the use of a definition of "has space" and "out of space"; Handicapping corrected.
