Conspiracy: Abyss Universe

You can either draw 1–3 Lords from the deck and choose one (the others are discarded by color), or take ALL the Lords from one single-color discard pile; if a discard pile has more cards than free spaces when you recruit from it, you choose enough to fill your Chamber and return the rest faceup to the pile. (Rulebook, pp.4–5, 12)

Place recruited Lords left-to-right and top-to-bottom, creating the inverted-pyramid layout shown, and if you recruit multiple Lords you choose the order in which they are placed; then apply any powers of the new Lords. (Rulebook, p.6)

Place a Coat of Arms token on the first Lord of a color you add; if you later add a same-color Lord with higher Influence Points, move the token to that card — only the Lords holding Coat of Arms (the most influential of each color) are counted for the Lords scoring category. (Rulebook, p.7; scoring: p.12)

Lords with 1 IP grant a silver key and 2 IP grant a gold key; two identical keys immediately grant control of a Location (or any third key of any type grants control if your first two were different), and when you place a Location on the Lord it masks the last key revealed and resets your key count to zero. (Rulebook, pp.7–9)

Lords with 3 and 4 IP give pearls; the first player to gain pearls takes the Pearl Master token and tracks their pearls on the Pearl track, and an opponent who reaches the same number of pearls steals the token (if they have more, they steal it and move the marker to their pearl count); the Pearl Master is worth +5 IP at game end. (Rulebook, pp.9, 12)

Adjacent Lords of the same color form Coalitions and at game end you score 3 points for each Lord in your largest Coalition; ties on total Influence Points are broken by the player with more pearls, and if still tied the victory is shared. (Rulebook, p.11; end-of-game/tiebreakers: p.12)
