Cosmolancer players taking the role of freelance photographers in space! As in the other versions, the game lasts three rounds, and to start a round, each player draws a random tile and keeps it secret. On a turn, you either:
• Draw a tile and place it in an empty space on the 6x5 grid.
• Place the tile in your hand.
• Place one of your tokens, which are numbered 1-4, in an empty space.
When all of the spaces are filled, you score each of your tokens, multiplying the number on the token by the sum of the tiles in its row and column, with some special tiles nullifying positive values or splitting a row into two segments. You retrieve all of your 1 tokens, but the others are now out of play. After three rounds, whoever has the highest score wins.
