1) Game Supplies 


















54 expedition cards (1 card of 6 colors each from 2 to 10 cards)














18 investment cards



Two-sided game board










Basic game board









Game board for professionals



2) Game Preparation

Spread the board out with five cells. If you are using the basic game board, put 12 purple cards in the box. Purple cards are not used in the basic game. And after mixing the cards well, divide the cards into 8 pieces among each player. Stack the rest of the cards well on one side so that the back is visible to make a stack of cards.




















3) Game Start

First, decide the First-player, and each player takes turns performing their turn. Players must put down their cards only on their own side of the board. Take one of the two actions in turn.

1. Place your card

Pick one card from your hand and choose one of the two option.


1) Place cards on your expedition


















Place the card where you are exploring new routes, or where you are expanding your existing ones. When you create a new trail, place the card in your direction from the same color abandon card. If you already have a card on that trail, place it at the bottom of the row.




















Caution: When expanding an existing magnetic path, be sure to place a card that is larger than the 'Last Card of the Trail'. When placing the card, place it on top of the old card, as shown in the picture below, but keep all the numbers visible.














*Investment cards can only be placed when exploration card is not placed. And more than two investment cards can also be placed on one exploration path.

2) Throwing away the card
















When you don't want to or can't leave a card on the trail, place a card in your hand in the throwaway card box. When placing a card in the throwaway card box, place it in a box that matches the color of the card. When you create a pile of throwaway cards, make sure that the cards overlap exactly so that only the top card is visible.


2. Pick a card

After placing the cards, you pull out a card and hold it in your hand. There are five piles of discarded cards


















Choose one of your favorite piles of regular cards and pick one card on the top. However, you cannot pick the card you threw away this time. Once you have selected, you will finish your turn.


4) Game Over

















If someone takes the last card from the pile, the game will end.


<How to calculate the scores>

















Subtract a number from each cell by 20 and multiply each cell by the number of investor cards.
: 4+6+8+10-20 x 2=16 points

Land that hasn't been pioneered at all is just zero points. (It might be a negative score if it doesn't go over 20 points when it's pioneered..)

If you have more than 8 sheets in each column, you get an additional +20 each.
