Setup

Common cards do not belong to any faction. Common Action cards are activated by any player, Common Special cards and Module cards operate in favor of each player. Any player can use Common Shortcut cards, while Common Traps damage each player.

Common cards are meant to diversify the gameplay, and their use significantly changes the situation in the sector from the very beginning of the game, forcing players to change their usual strategies. These cards are designed for experienced players who already know the game well and want to try something different and more challenging.

When players want to use the Common cards, they should shuffle them, draw one or two and place them in any of the 3 Common sectors (not the Faction sectors) in the game. It's up to the players to decide how many cards they use and where to place them.
