(BETA rules summary)

Roll dice

You will see dice lined up below your black strip. First, assign a die to one of the 5 roles on the black strip at the top (click the die, then the black strip role). This role will definitely happen.

Dice you have under role will (and the die on the black strip) can be used to perform that role's action(s). Dice you have on other roles may be usable as well, but only if an opponent picks that role.

For each die you have on a role that at least one person picked, you can do an action. Any dice for actions not chosen go back to the cup.

Recruit citizens

All used dice go into your citizenry (your personal dice pool) -- you will have to spend 1 money per die to buy them back. If you spend all your money, you get 1 money at the end of the round.

You can also retrieve any dice that are stuck on developments or worlds at this point, or leave them there for the next round.

If everyone has fewer than 12 tiles built (players start with 3 tiles) and not all the VP chips are used up, then another round is played.

Watch Out!

If you happen to get the Alien Archeology starting tile/ability, ($4 instead of $2 when stocking using a yellow die,) note that the first die used in the Explore phase will always be a yellow die, if possible, regardless of the die you select. Be sure to stock first to get the $4, then scout afterward.
