Rules questions
Answered from the rulebook by Ludoya's rules assistant.
When can I form Diplomatic Relations with a Minor Species?
You may do so at any time during any of your Actions. Its ability takes effect immediately after you form the relationship (p. 1).
How do I add a Minor Species Ambassador Tile to my Reputation Track?
Pay the Money cost shown on its tile, then place it on an empty Ambassador Tile space on your Reputation Track (p. 1).
Can I ally with more than one Minor Species, and can I later discard a tile?
You may form Diplomatic Relations with multiple Minor Species, but their Ambassador Tiles cannot be discarded from your Reputation Track (p. 1).
Can we use Minor Species in a 2- or 3-player game?
Yes. Minor Species can be used even though players cannot form Diplomatic Relations with one another in 2–3 player games (p. 1).
Do the Minor Species discounts reduce costs below the minimum, and when do their VP count?
The Research discount cannot reduce a Tech’s Science cost below the minimum Science cost. Several abilities grant VP at the end of the game; check each tile for its specific scoring effect (p. 1).
