Events (2 of each)

  • Global Economic Crisis: All players immediately lose half their money (keeping the larger part if the halves are unequal). Oh, well…what is money anyway?
  • Launch Delay: No modules may be built and Core Modules may not be turned over by any player for the rest of this year. Blame it on the weather.
  • Uneventful Year: No events may be played by any players for the rest of this year. Business as usual.
  • Meteor Storm: Damage any 2 exterior modules of a station (unless that station has a functioning Shield Generator). Alert! Incoming meteors!
  • Sabotage: Damage any 2 modules of a station belonging to a player with more Victory Points than you. Undercover agent reporting: Mission successful!
  • Malfunction: Temporarily damage any 2 modules of a station. It looks bad, but we’ll fix it. Just give us some time.
  • Accident: Damage any module of a station. What do you mean “oops”?
  • Beyond Repair: Remove a damaged exterior module from a station. It’s worse than we thought.
  • Sponsored Repairs: Remove up to 2 damage markers from your station. Fortunately, we have some friends.
  • Visiting Worker: Use an unused crew action of another player’s station. You pay the costs (crew, money), you choose targets and you get any cards, money or Victory Points generated. Very generous to let us use it.
  • High-risk Project: Remove any number of unused crew from your station to gain that many MC. It is a sacrifice I am willing to make.
  • Research Funds: Gain +1 MC. Also gain +1 MC for each [scientific] module in your station. Our research investments are paying off.
  • Cold War: The player(s) that has the most functioning [military] modules gains 2 Victory Points. Military superiority! Moahahahahaa!
  • New Arrivals: Add 2 unused crew on the Core Module of your station. Ah! Headquarters is finally sending reinforcements.
  • Efficiency: All crew actions on your station may be used twice this year. We’ve managed to maximize the use of our facilities.
  • Crew Rotation: All players move all their unused crew to the Core Module of the station belonging to the player on their left. There has been a mixup in the scheduled crew reliefs.
  • Bureaucracy: Remove 1 unused crew from a station. Too much paperwork!
  • Unfit Crew: Remove up to 2 unused crew from a station (unless that station has a functioning Gym). Slackers!
