1
00:00:00.385 --> 00:00:02.992
Four districts. Ten rounds.

2
00:00:03.032 --> 00:00:06.243
One shared climate. In Common Ground,

3
00:00:06.283 --> 00:00:11.238
the assets that build your fortune
also shape everyone's future.

4
00:00:12.288 --> 00:00:19.086
The shared Climate Dial measures carbon
dioxide in parts per million, or ppm.

5
00:00:19.126 --> 00:00:24.220
Finish ten rounds below five hundred
and fifty for the table to succeed.

6
00:00:24.269 --> 00:00:28.435
At six hundred, Collapse
ends play immediately.

7
00:00:29.114 --> 00:00:31.689
Legacy means your final score.

8
00:00:31.750 --> 00:00:36.156
It combines asset points,
one point per full three money,

9
00:00:36.196 --> 00:00:40.304
and rewards for shared
action and your secret goal.

10
00:00:40.550 --> 00:00:46.364
In a successful world, the highest
Legacy earns the individual championship.

11
00:00:47.218 --> 00:00:49.929
There may also be a hidden Baron.

12
00:00:49.969 --> 00:00:55.026
That player wins alone if the world
finishes between five hundred and fifty

13
00:00:55.066 --> 00:00:57.513
and five hundred and ninety-nine,

14
00:00:57.667 --> 00:01:02.053
or if Collapse happens while
they hold at least twelve money.

15
00:01:02.299 --> 00:01:05.687
The deal can leave the Baron out entirely.

16
00:01:06.736 --> 00:01:11.166
Place assets in the Delta,
Reach, Verge or Rim.

17
00:01:11.206 --> 00:01:16.681
Weather strikes districts, so location
affects which assets are exposed.

18
00:01:16.721 --> 00:01:21.127
An ownership disc identifies
whose asset it is.

19
00:01:21.167 --> 00:01:26.528
Some assets start unowned, and those
dirty assets still heat the world.

20
00:01:27.266 --> 00:01:32.102
These are money tokens. Spend
them on assets and other actions.

21
00:01:32.142 --> 00:01:33.994
These are vote tokens,

22
00:01:34.034 --> 00:01:39.140
used to support shared proposals
or challenge a suspected Baron.

23
00:01:39.387 --> 00:01:42.853
The defence token protects an
asset from weather effects;

24
00:01:42.893 --> 00:01:46.477
it does not remove the
owner's district repair bill.

25
00:01:47.527 --> 00:01:54.093
First, the world turns: baseline warming,
tipping points and assets move the Dial.

26
00:01:54.133 --> 00:01:56.194
Next comes a Story card.

27
00:01:56.234 --> 00:02:01.387
It brings weather, an event,
or an Initiative: a shared proposal.

28
00:02:02.205 --> 00:02:05.033
Then Income pays your assets' yields.

29
00:02:05.073 --> 00:02:10.712
Everyone also receives one vote token,
rising to two from round four.

30
00:02:10.959 --> 00:02:15.426
If an Initiative was drawn,
its vote happens after Income.

31
00:02:15.580 --> 00:02:19.081
Finally, players take
their turns clockwise,

32
00:02:19.121 --> 00:02:23.054
each taking up to two actions
before the next player acts.

33
00:02:23.745 --> 00:02:28.293
A new asset normally starts
paying at the next round's Income.

34
00:02:29.344 --> 00:02:35.506
Read four things before buying: price,
income, climate effect and Legacy.

35
00:02:36.151 --> 00:02:41.045
A Fossil Fuel Plant costs two money
and normally earns five each Income.

36
00:02:41.085 --> 00:02:46.493
It also adds one ppm each world
turn and is worth minus two Legacy.

37
00:02:46.588 --> 00:02:50.112
A Solar Array costs three, earns two,

38
00:02:50.152 --> 00:02:55.139
removes one ppm each world
turn and is worth two Legacy.

39
00:02:55.179 --> 00:02:59.807
An Urban Farm costs two,
earns two and scores one Legacy,

40
00:02:59.847 --> 00:03:02.212
with no regular climate effect.

41
00:03:03.020 --> 00:03:06.860
Compare the other dirty,
clean and neutral choices here.

42
00:03:06.967 --> 00:03:11.504
Each offers a different balance
of price, income and points.

43
00:03:11.623 --> 00:03:14.755
The reference sheet lists every asset.

44
00:03:24.723 --> 00:03:27.399
Build selects the asset and district.

45
00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:31.312
Defend costs two money
and uses another action.

46
00:03:31.352 --> 00:03:34.379
Buying a vote token costs three money.

47
00:03:34.498 --> 00:03:40.507
You can also propose Collective Action,
discuss a non-binding trade, or pass.

48
00:03:40.547 --> 00:03:43.063
Passing ends your turn.

49
00:03:43.124 --> 00:03:46.720
You have two action
opportunities each turn.

50
00:03:47.771 --> 00:03:51.330
An Initiative is a shared
proposal to cool the world.

51
00:03:51.370 --> 00:03:58.148
Going clockwise, each player may
commit zero, one or two vote tokens.

52
00:03:58.290 --> 00:04:01.851
The threshold is the
number of players plus one.

53
00:04:02.074 --> 00:04:06.751
Committed tokens are spent whether
the proposal passes or fails.

54
00:04:07.593 --> 00:04:10.165
Passing removes nine ppm,

55
00:04:10.205 --> 00:04:14.010
with any additional mechanical
effect shown for that card.

56
00:04:14.164 --> 00:04:18.710
The sole largest contributor
earns two Legacy;

57
00:04:18.750 --> 00:04:22.671
tied contributors earn
no sponsorship bonus.

58
00:04:22.825 --> 00:04:28.488
Supporting it helps everyone;
keeping tokens preserves options.

59
00:04:29.538 --> 00:04:33.306
Collective Action tries to turn
someone else's dirty asset,

60
00:04:33.346 --> 00:04:36.780
or an unowned one, into a Community asset.

61
00:04:36.934 --> 00:04:41.120
Proposing costs one money,
including your participation.

62
00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:44.243
Other attackers can
join for one money each.

63
00:04:44.283 --> 00:04:49.005
A private owner can recruit additional
defenders, each paying one money.

64
00:04:49.696 --> 00:04:54.288
Add two dice together and compare
the total with the target.

65
00:04:54.328 --> 00:04:58.665
One attacker against one
defender needs seven or more.

66
00:04:58.705 --> 00:05:02.566
Each extra attacker
lowers that target by one;

67
00:05:02.606 --> 00:05:07.198
each extra defender raises it
by one, within three to eleven.

68
00:05:07.238 --> 00:05:10.603
Count participating players on each side.

69
00:05:11.294 --> 00:05:15.668
On success, the asset passes
into Community ownership.

70
00:05:15.729 --> 00:05:21.796
The asset stops heating the world and pays
one money at each later Income to every

71
00:05:21.836 --> 00:05:24.619
participant who helped seize it.

72
00:05:24.773 --> 00:05:29.377
After two full rounds, each participant
scores the magnitude of the asset's

73
00:05:29.417 --> 00:05:34.105
printed Legacy: two points
for a Fossil Fuel Plant.

74
00:05:34.258 --> 00:05:37.181
A later seizure earns one point.

75
00:05:38.128 --> 00:05:41.269
If an attempt against a
Fossil Fuel Plant fails,

76
00:05:41.309 --> 00:05:45.869
the Baron can reveal and claim
that asset once per game.

77
00:05:45.930 --> 00:05:49.317
A failed action can strengthen the Baron.

78
00:05:50.367 --> 00:05:56.285
Each Citizen has a secret Personal
Agenda worth three Legacy if completed.

79
00:05:56.439 --> 00:05:59.627
It is a scoring goal, not a card you play.

80
00:05:59.667 --> 00:06:02.775
The Baron has no Personal Agenda.

81
00:06:03.536 --> 00:06:07.107
After rounds three and
seven comes the Reckoning:

82
00:06:07.147 --> 00:06:10.047
a challenge to someone's hidden role.

83
00:06:10.108 --> 00:06:13.957
Players secretly spend
vote tokens on a suspect.

84
00:06:13.997 --> 00:06:19.448
The single highest total confronts
that player; a tie confronts nobody.

85
00:06:19.488 --> 00:06:25.024
They reveal their role, or pay two money
to each accuser if they can afford it.

86
00:06:25.877 --> 00:06:30.309
Revealing the Baron earns
each accuser one Legacy.

87
00:06:30.358 --> 00:06:35.531
If the revealed role is Citizen,
each accuser pays them up to one money.

88
00:06:35.571 --> 00:06:38.529
The Personal Agenda stays private.

89
00:06:38.764 --> 00:06:42.093
Revealing the Baron
does not eliminate them.

90
00:06:43.028 --> 00:06:47.678
From round eight, Wildcards
can replace scenario events.

91
00:06:47.718 --> 00:06:53.460
Meanwhile, flipped tipping points stay
flipped even if the Dial falls again.

92
00:06:53.500 --> 00:06:56.446
Read both before your next turn.

93
00:06:57.497 --> 00:07:00.014
Let's follow one complete round.

94
00:07:00.167 --> 00:07:03.355
This three-player example has no Baron.

95
00:07:03.395 --> 00:07:06.585
We begin at four hundred and fifty ppm.

96
00:07:06.634 --> 00:07:10.869
The world turn moves the Dial
to four hundred and sixty-two:

97
00:07:11.115 --> 00:07:14.965
six from baseline warming,
two from Ice Loss,

98
00:07:15.005 --> 00:07:18.636
and four from unowned Fossil Fuel Plants.

99
00:07:19.316 --> 00:07:22.364
The Story card is Offshore Wind Farms.

100
00:07:22.404 --> 00:07:27.173
It proposes nine ppm of cooling
if the Initiative passes.

101
00:07:27.397 --> 00:07:31.469
Income leaves us with eight
money and one vote token.

102
00:07:31.599 --> 00:07:36.484
We own no assets yet, so there
is no asset income to collect.

103
00:07:37.315 --> 00:07:39.388
I commit one vote token.

104
00:07:39.428 --> 00:07:41.524
The second player commits none.

105
00:07:41.564 --> 00:07:44.148
The third also commits none.

106
00:07:44.188 --> 00:07:48.191
We reach one against a threshold of four.

107
00:07:48.402 --> 00:07:53.624
The Initiative fails, and the Dial
stays at four hundred and sixty-two.

108
00:07:53.754 --> 00:07:56.306
Our committed token is spent.

109
00:07:57.044 --> 00:07:59.677
For my first action, I choose Build,

110
00:08:01.664 --> 00:08:02.683
Clean,

111
00:08:04.530 --> 00:08:05.909
Solar Array,

112
00:08:07.057 --> 00:08:10.256
then the Delta. It costs three money.

113
00:08:10.296 --> 00:08:13.635
Watch the asset land,
then the ownership disc.

114
00:08:13.675 --> 00:08:17.433
We now have five money
and one action left.

115
00:08:18.241 --> 00:08:21.568
My second action defends
that asset for two money.

116
00:08:21.608 --> 00:08:23.565
Here is the defence token.

117
00:08:23.605 --> 00:08:28.141
We have three money left, and both
action opportunities are used.

118
00:08:28.832 --> 00:08:32.731
Now the second player builds
a Transport Hub in the Reach,

119
00:08:35.832 --> 00:08:37.001
then another.

120
00:08:40.832 --> 00:08:44.614
The third player builds
a Wind Farm in the Verge,

121
00:08:47.832 --> 00:08:51.867
then a second one. Each
opponent has taken both actions.

122
00:08:51.907 --> 00:08:53.832
That completes the round.

123
00:08:54.778 --> 00:08:59.872
Now the next round begins, with the
Narrator moving to the second player.

124
00:09:00.119 --> 00:09:04.145
Our Solar Array contributes
one ppm of cooling.

125
00:09:04.206 --> 00:09:09.102
With all the other assets, the net
asset contribution is minus one.

126
00:09:09.163 --> 00:09:12.792
Baseline warming and Ice
Loss still add eight.

127
00:09:12.832 --> 00:09:17.241
The Dial rises by seven,
to four hundred and sixty-nine.

128
00:09:18.095 --> 00:09:23.221
The next Story card is Building
Retrofit Blitz, another Initiative.

129
00:09:23.261 --> 00:09:27.459
At Income, our Solar pays two
money, bringing us to five.

130
00:09:27.499 --> 00:09:30.282
We also receive one vote token.

131
00:09:30.343 --> 00:09:36.157
The investment changes our economy and
the shared climate in different steps.

132
00:09:37.206 --> 00:09:42.878
Build an economy, read other players'
choices, and decide when to act together.

133
00:09:42.918 --> 00:09:47.455
Your Legacy matters, but so
does the world you leave it in.
