Arcs: Konflikt i zapaść na Rubieży

When you declare an ambition on your lead card you place the zero marker over the card’s number (it becomes 0) but you still get the card’s action pips and may take actions as normal; you also can’t declare if all ambition markers are already placed and you can’t declare the same ambition multiple times using the same card (page 9).

Surpass: play a face‑up card of the lead suit with a higher number and you may take actions up to the pips on your card; Copy: play any card face‑down and you may take only one of the lead card’s actions; Pivot: play a face‑up card of a different suit (any number) and you may take only one action on your card (page 10).

You can seize initiative by playing an extra action card face‑down (no actions for that card) or by Surpassing with a “7” (four‑player games); a player who seizes the initiative keeps it for the round, otherwise after the round the player who Surpassed with the highest card number takes initiative (page 10–11).

Yes — any piece you build in a system controlled by someone other than you is placed damaged (ships are tipped over; buildings are flipped to their damaged side) (page 12).

Resolve rolled dice in order: attacker takes hits from assault faces first, skirmish can cause an interception hit, then attacker’s damage faces hit defending ships (then buildings once no ships remain), then building hits and finally raid effects; a hit on a fresh piece damages it, a hit on an already damaged piece destroys it and becomes a Trophy for the attacker (pages 14–15).

Score any ambition with markers by awarding the first‑place player the higher Power and the second‑place player the lower Power shown on the ambition markers; ties for first mean tied players all receive second‑place (and ties for second earn nothing), and you cannot gain Power from an ambition if you have none of the thing it counts (page 18).
