Precisions:
- You get the Divine Entity no matter where it is: from the side modules of the central board or in front of another player.
- You may welcome several Divine Entities in the same turn.
The game goes through 4 rounds each divided into 3 turns followed by a scoring phase.
- If you have completed a line or a column but you already have the matching Divine Entity, nothing happens.
- You keep your Divine Entities until another person takes one of them from you by completing a line or column of the matching symbols on their board.
At the beginning of a round, deal 4 Biome cards of the current age, Age 1 for the rounds 1 and 2
face down, on each Satellite. and Age 2 for the rounds 3 and 4.
Step 4: Activate your avatar and your Divine Entities At the 2nd turn of the 1st round:
A turn is divided into 5 steps: Activate, in the order of your choice:

Precisions:
- You may activate the Biome’s effects from the line or column facing your avatar’s location in the order of your choice.
Look at them, keep one and put the remaining cards face down back on the satellite you took them from. - You may alternate between the activation of the Biome’s effects in the matching line or column and of the Divine Entities you have welcomed this turn.
Once everyone has chosen a card, go to the next step. - If you do not wish or cannot apply the effect of a Biome or a Divine Entity, do not do it.
- Do not activate the Divine Entities you have welcomed in the previous turns.
Precision: During the last turn of a round, you will be choosing amongst two cards. Pick one and discard the other face down onto the Black Hole board.

 The Spores
Spores are obtained thanks to the powers of some Biomes or when you decide to discard a Biome card rather than putting one into play (cf. Step 2,
p.2). Place this Spore on the Cost spot of the Biome of your choice.

Example: Esther activates the column matching the location

of her avatar. She earns 1 Life Energy point for her Forest
Biome and chooses to pay 3 crystals to place a Spore on the
Desert Biome.

Important:
- There can be only one Spore per Biome.
- If you cover a Biome with a Spore, place the Spore on the newly played Biome.

Note: To put a Spore on a Biome with no effect may be useful in some Spore strategies in which you earn Life Energy points
according to the number of Spores you have on your board.

Spores and Divine Entity Scoring aid

The Spores have a side that is different from the other side. The Divine Entities have a coloured side and a dark side.

When you add a Spore on a Biome on your board, we advise you to put it on During scoring, you may place them on their dark side to indicate that you

may flip the spores onto their opposite side to recall the ones you already
activated during this scoring.
