Scientists

Each scientist has one player sheet. Each sheet prints the same discovery card table and shows the scientist's start-with influence, energy, and stat values. The values are summarised in the Scientist Stat Table below.

Scientist Setup

Each scientist's player sheet prints the following setup. Each sheet also shows a Laboratory card area, a boxed area labelled "LABORATORY" with no further printed instructions.

Charles Darwin

  • Start with: 1 Religion influence, 1 Enterprise influence.
  • 3 energy each turn (yellow energy cube).

Nikola Tesla

  • Start with: no influence.
  • 3 energy each turn (white energy cube).

Thomas Edison

  • Start with: 2 Government influence, 2 Enterprise influence.
  • 3 energy each turn (red energy cube).

Albert Einstein

  • Start with: 1 Government influence.
  • 3 energy each turn (teal energy cube).

Marie Curie

  • Start with: 1 Science influence.
  • 3 energy each turn (dark blue energy cube).

Scientist Stat Table

Each sheet prints the stat values of all five scientists in one table, with the columns Research, Experiment and Publish. Each scientist's own sheet also shows that scientist's values as a row of icons along the bottom, in the same order (Research, Experiment, Publish).

Discovery Card Table

Each player sheet prints the same card table. It lists the cards by discipline and level, with the Research, Experiment and Publish values, the influence icons (Government, Religion, Enterprise, Science), the Prestige value, and the pre-requisites. Blank cells are empty on the sheet.

Transcriber note: the Experiment column prints two values separated by a bar (for example "5 | 4") on every row. The sheets do not label what the two values mean, so they are transcribed as printed.

The sheets print the table without procedural text.
