1
00:00:00.385 --> 00:00:04.617
Rival Houses compete for
power in one shared world.

2
00:00:04.657 --> 00:00:11.098
Your choices build your fortune, but also
change the climate everyone depends on.

3
00:00:11.248 --> 00:00:14.076
You lead a House. Over ten rounds,

4
00:00:14.116 --> 00:00:17.524
you build Legacy: your
final score from assets,

5
00:00:17.564 --> 00:00:19.857
wealth and private goals.

6
00:00:19.897 --> 00:00:23.981
If the world survives,
highest Legacy wins.

7
00:00:24.353 --> 00:00:27.287
Here is the rhythm. The world changes.

8
00:00:27.344 --> 00:00:30.729
Once per round, you collect
income from your assets,

9
00:00:30.769 --> 00:00:33.274
plus two base Capital.

10
00:00:33.431 --> 00:00:35.400
Houses take turns acting.

11
00:00:35.440 --> 00:00:38.049
Then the shared vote resolves.

12
00:00:38.391 --> 00:00:43.334
You are choosing how to strengthen
your House while managing the climate.

13
00:00:43.487 --> 00:00:46.608
Let's start with what you control.

14
00:00:47.157 --> 00:00:49.613
The board has four shared districts:

15
00:00:49.653 --> 00:00:53.238
Delta, Reach, Verge and Rim.

16
00:00:53.484 --> 00:00:57.185
Different Houses can own
assets in the same district.

17
00:00:57.246 --> 00:01:02.013
Where you place an asset affects its
exposure to weather and which local

18
00:01:02.053 --> 00:01:05.335
effects or placement restrictions apply.

19
00:01:06.482 --> 00:01:12.609
Capital is your money: you use it to
buy assets and pay for other actions.

20
00:01:12.951 --> 00:01:15.967
Influence supports shared Initiatives.

21
00:01:17.242 --> 00:01:21.347
Operatives are your crew,
represented by these pieces.

22
00:01:21.387 --> 00:01:24.902
They determine how much
you can do in a round.

23
00:01:25.656 --> 00:01:28.331
You start with three Operatives.

24
00:01:28.371 --> 00:01:31.384
On your turn, place one to take an action,

25
00:01:31.424 --> 00:01:35.694
such as buying an asset,
campaigning or hustling for money.

26
00:01:35.793 --> 00:01:41.537
Pay any Capital or Influence
the action requires as well.

27
00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:46.227
The Operative lets you act;
it does not replace that cost.

28
00:01:46.460 --> 00:01:49.267
Then another House takes its turn.

29
00:01:52.800 --> 00:01:57.592
When play comes back to you, you
can use another available Operative.

30
00:01:57.763 --> 00:02:01.531
A used Operative returns near
the start of the next round,

31
00:02:01.571 --> 00:02:04.924
during Income, after the world changes.

32
00:02:05.415 --> 00:02:08.941
Some assets increase
your crew permanently.

33
00:02:09.002 --> 00:02:13.002
The new Operative arrives during
Income at the start of the next round,

34
00:02:13.042 --> 00:02:15.571
up to a maximum of six.

35
00:02:15.977 --> 00:02:22.358
You may also pass. That ends your
own action turns for this round.

36
00:02:22.398 --> 00:02:27.004
But any Operative you keep can
still join someone else's takeover.

37
00:02:27.158 --> 00:02:32.264
Saving one means giving up an
action now to keep that option open.

38
00:02:32.813 --> 00:02:36.448
Assets shape your economy and the climate.

39
00:02:36.488 --> 00:02:39.747
Dirty assets earn income and add heat.

40
00:02:39.797 --> 00:02:42.119
Clean assets provide cooling.

41
00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:44.905
Neutral assets offer other benefits.

42
00:02:44.945 --> 00:02:48.156
Inspect an asset to see its cost, income,

43
00:02:48.196 --> 00:02:50.318
heat and Legacy.

44
00:02:50.983 --> 00:02:53.244
We are Helios Combine.

45
00:02:53.468 --> 00:02:59.595
With our energy discount, this Solar
Array costs two Capital instead of three.

46
00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:03.398
We use one Operative and pay two Capital.

47
00:03:03.803 --> 00:03:07.922
Select the asset, then click
its district to place it.

48
00:03:11.116 --> 00:03:13.981
The ownership disc marks it as ours.

49
00:03:14.790 --> 00:03:17.470
Its cooling helps on future rounds.

50
00:03:18.310 --> 00:03:24.008
Each round reveals an Initiative:
a shared proposal to cool the world.

51
00:03:24.969 --> 00:03:30.759
Campaigning uses one Operative to
commit Influence secretly in support.

52
00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:36.308
At round end, everyone's
contributions are added together.

53
00:03:36.555 --> 00:03:40.730
With four Houses, five
Influence is needed to pass.

54
00:03:40.770 --> 00:03:45.223
Passing normally lowers the
Dial by nine parts per million.

55
00:03:45.263 --> 00:03:48.729
Too little support means
the proposal fails.

56
00:03:48.769 --> 00:03:52.052
Your committed Influence
is spent either way.

57
00:03:52.943 --> 00:03:56.679
So an asset directly changes
your House's position,

58
00:03:56.739 --> 00:04:00.916
while a campaign depends on
enough Houses contributing.

59
00:04:01.221 --> 00:04:05.955
You cannot see their hidden
contributions when choosing your own.

60
00:04:06.605 --> 00:04:10.141
Your Agenda rewards the
climate's final band.

61
00:04:10.181 --> 00:04:13.499
Your Vice rewards particular achievements.

62
00:04:13.652 --> 00:04:16.898
Our Broker prefers a Warm or Hot finish,

63
00:04:16.938 --> 00:04:21.173
while Green Monopolist rewards
the most Solar and Wind.

64
00:04:21.419 --> 00:04:24.006
Rivals may want different endings.

65
00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:28.392
At six hundred parts per
million, Collapse ends play.

66
00:04:28.432 --> 00:04:31.306
Only an Accelerationist with at least two

67
00:04:31.346 --> 00:04:34.977
dirty assets and six
Capital can win there.

68
00:04:35.176 --> 00:04:37.725
Cracked tipping points keep adding heat,

69
00:04:37.765 --> 00:04:40.444
even if the Dial later falls again.

70
00:04:40.935 --> 00:04:44.102
Your other options let
you shape that contest.

71
00:04:44.507 --> 00:04:50.031
Contracts let you buy an asset through
a card with a special deal or condition.

72
00:04:50.984 --> 00:04:54.151
Read its price and effect
before choosing it.

73
00:04:55.305 --> 00:04:59.574
Develop lets you protect assets
or change their surroundings.

74
00:05:00.635 --> 00:05:02.978
You can add weather protection,

75
00:05:04.511 --> 00:05:08.514
place a NIMBY that restricts
placement in a district,

76
00:05:09.838 --> 00:05:12.714
or add a programme to an Institution.

77
00:05:13.775 --> 00:05:17.778
Check the inspector to
see what each option does.

78
00:05:18.383 --> 00:05:21.257
Schemes are drawn and held secretly,

79
00:05:21.297 --> 00:05:24.591
but played openly at their allowed times.

80
00:05:25.197 --> 00:05:30.997
After rounds three and seven, a Tribunal
is a vote to choose which House must

81
00:05:31.037 --> 00:05:32.822
reveal a secret.

82
00:05:33.969 --> 00:05:37.365
That player reveals one still-hidden card:

83
00:05:37.405 --> 00:05:39.957
their Agenda or Vice.

84
00:05:40.710 --> 00:05:44.887
This shows the other Houses
part of their private goals.

85
00:05:45.585 --> 00:05:49.947
Use the inspectors to check
these options as you need them.

86
00:05:50.408 --> 00:05:55.107
You do not need to memorise every
card before your first round.

87
00:05:55.168 --> 00:06:01.377
Know your resources, your goal, and the
consequence of the action you choose.

88
00:06:02.127 --> 00:06:04.734
Now let's follow a whole round.

89
00:06:04.774 --> 00:06:11.305
The world turns: heat and Research leave
the Dial at four hundred and sixty-four.

90
00:06:11.345 --> 00:06:14.187
A hurricane costs one Capital.

91
00:06:14.258 --> 00:06:19.642
Income brings us to sixteen and
makes our crew available again.

92
00:06:22.333 --> 00:06:25.196
We build a Wind Farm for three Capital,

93
00:06:25.236 --> 00:06:27.207
using one Operative.

94
00:06:28.361 --> 00:06:30.677
On our next turn, we use another

95
00:06:30.717 --> 00:06:34.674
Operative to commit two
Influence to the shared vote.

96
00:06:35.427 --> 00:06:39.082
We pass, keeping our
last Operative available.

97
00:06:41.473 --> 00:06:45.903
The Assembly now launches a
takeover of Greenwall's plant.

98
00:06:45.943 --> 00:06:49.307
It commits one Operative
to start the attack.

99
00:06:49.554 --> 00:06:55.994
A takeover gives other Houses a chance to
join a side using available Operatives.

100
00:06:56.165 --> 00:07:00.061
Each other House can commit
one Operative to either side.

101
00:07:00.101 --> 00:07:05.346
The owner can commit one or two
available Operatives to defend.

102
00:07:06.696 --> 00:07:10.083
We join the attack with
the Operative we saved.

103
00:07:10.225 --> 00:07:13.717
The attacking side now has
two Operatives in total.

104
00:07:13.859 --> 00:07:16.364
The defending side has one.

105
00:07:16.479 --> 00:07:18.982
Those Operatives become
available again during

106
00:07:19.022 --> 00:07:22.270
Income at the start of the next round.

107
00:07:22.469 --> 00:07:26.239
Each side rolls a six-sided die.

108
00:07:26.300 --> 00:07:30.465
Every committed Operative
adds one to that side's roll.

109
00:07:30.619 --> 00:07:35.827
The defender also gets two automatic
points for the plant's built-in security,

110
00:07:35.867 --> 00:07:39.126
even if nobody sends
an Operative to defend.

111
00:07:39.559 --> 00:07:42.668
Here, the attackers roll five.

112
00:07:42.729 --> 00:07:45.628
Add their two Operatives: seven.

113
00:07:45.689 --> 00:07:50.804
The defender rolls one, adds one
defending Operative and two security:

114
00:07:50.844 --> 00:07:56.043
four. Higher total wins;
a tie would favour the defender.

115
00:07:56.492 --> 00:08:00.829
Seven beats four,
so the takeover succeeds.

116
00:08:00.869 --> 00:08:05.394
Community control removes the
plant's normal income and heat.

117
00:08:05.450 --> 00:08:08.245
The asset stays on the board.

118
00:08:09.378 --> 00:08:11.358
A revealed Accelerationist leading a

119
00:08:11.398 --> 00:08:15.924
successful takeover can
choose Vested control instead.

120
00:08:16.077 --> 00:08:20.707
The asset then keeps earning income
for that House and adding heat.

121
00:08:20.768 --> 00:08:25.630
That is an alternative to the
Community result shown here.

122
00:08:28.380 --> 00:08:33.416
A later takeover fails. The other
Houses finish their actions.

123
00:08:33.681 --> 00:08:37.451
Now we resolve the Initiative
we supported earlier.

124
00:08:37.512 --> 00:08:40.317
The Houses committed
two Influence in total,

125
00:08:40.357 --> 00:08:43.939
but five were needed. The proposal fails,

126
00:08:43.979 --> 00:08:46.099
so it provides no cooling.

127
00:08:46.139 --> 00:08:49.317
Our committed Influence is still spent.

128
00:08:50.169 --> 00:08:55.774
Round two is complete. The next round
opens at four hundred and seventy-five.

129
00:08:55.879 --> 00:09:00.462
Our assets, resources and
earlier choices carry forward.

130
00:09:01.012 --> 00:09:03.631
Build your economy. Watch the climate.

131
00:09:03.671 --> 00:09:07.824
Read the other Houses.
Then choose your next move.
