Line 42:
'''Action''' Choose a piece you own, this is the ''action piece''. Its color determines the ''action type'': Red ~ Conquer, Yellow ~ Move, Green ~ Build, Blue ~ Trade/Upgrade. Its pip-size determines the ''number'' of actions of that action type. '''Note.''' If you ''don’t own'' a piece, you can Build (see under Green). In particular, your first turn consists of building a Small Green.
'''
* '''Bordering''' - Two fields are ''bordering'' each other if they are horizontally, vertically, or diagonally adjacent. A piece on a bordering field is called a ''bordering piece''.
* A Green piece with an empty bordering field is said to "have space"; if it doesn't have an empty bordering field, it is said to be "out of space".
For each pip of the action piece, you get one ''optional'' action of the action type associated with its color. You can choose how to use each action according to the following. Unused action pips are forfeited by the end of your turn.
Line 52 ⟶ 53:
* '''Green ~ Build'''. For each pip of your chosen Green action piece, check these conditions:
** If your chosen Green action piece has
**
**
'''Note.''' If ''any'' of your Green pieces has space, it follows that you will build there ''first'', before being able to build a Green ship anywhere.
* '''Blue ~ Upgrade/Trade'''. You can Upgrade or Trade the chosen Blue action piece or any bordering piece you own. To Upgrade a piece, replace it with a piece of the ''same color'' and ''exactly'' 1 pip larger, available from the Bank. To Trade a piece, replace it with a piece of the ''same size'' and ''different color'', available from the Bank. '''Clarification.''' If the Blue action piece is Traded or Upgraded, the new piece in its stead becomes the action piece, and behaves as if it did not change: for all intents and purposes it remains Blue until the end of turn, and your remaining action pips are not affected. '''Note.''' If the piece you need is not available from the Bank, you can not use this action. Any piece you return to the Bank is immediately available for the next Upgrade/Trade, if you have unused actions. If you have 2 or more available actions, you can Trade AND Upgrade the same piece (in any order), OR Upgrade the same piece twice (to get a Large).
