Roll die and move ship.D. Play a coin and move ship.E. Restore power reserves. A. Draw and place a planet.1. A planet’s suit determines the solar system it will be played to.2. The value of the planet determines where in the solar system it will be placed.a. If the planet is the first to be added to a solar system it is placed to theright of the sun.b. If the value is higher then the last planet to be played in that system it isadded to the current string of planets.c. If the value is lower then the last planet to be played in that system it isadded to the sun. B. Colonize a planet. 1. The player must be on the plane the wishes to colonize.2.
