Play only rounds 2, 3, 4, and 5, for a total of 4 rounds. Organizations are balanced for four rounds, so playing five is not recommended (pp. 4, 8).

Choose 2 of the 3 cards, then resolve both simultaneously. The top half only tells you what to mark; it does not grant benefits, while the bottom half provides the listed resources, points, or effects (pp. 4–5).

No. First take all starting resources, then resolve any income increases from cards you tuck; regular income is resolved only at the start of rounds 3, 4, and 5 (p. 5).

No. Signal tokens can be used only during a scan action: discard one to discard one additional card from the row and mark a signal in its matching sector. Because the row is replenished after the whole scan action, you can use at most two signal tokens in one scan action (p. 8).

When all three tasks are complete, remove the long-term objective from the game; it cannot be spent to prevent rival advancement at the end of a round. Uncompleted tasks are not scored at game end, but at the ends of rounds 2, 3, and 4 the rival advances once for each task still visible (p. 7).

No. Even if a single trigger could mark multiple tasks, including tasks on different objectives, you must choose only one task to mark (p. 7).
