Infestation Conflict Rules

Printed insert, reproduced as printed:

Infestation is a new Conflict set that offers another way to add more direct confrontation in a game of "Among the Stars".

To use it, follow the instructions in the manual on playing the Aggressive mode, replacing the Dispute conflict cards with the Infestation ones. However, when playing with this Conflict set, each player must also put an Infestation token on his Main Reactor at the beginning of the 2nd year.

Whenever a location has an Infestation token on it, you may not build locations adjacent to it. Moreover, at the end of the game you get +3 VP for every Infestation token on your Station.

Transcriber's note: on the printed insert, the VP amount is shown as an orange icon whose visible digit is 3; it is read here as +3 VP.

Infestation Conflict Card

Take an Infestation token from one of your locations and place it on a location in another player's Station.
