Components
- 4 Laboratory Mats
- 4 Microscopes
- 9 Beaker Tokens (3 each in 3 colors)
Setup
Give each player a Laboratory Mat and a Microscope in their color. Place the mats into each player's play area, and place the Microscope in the space in the mat's center. Place the 9 Beakers into the game box's lid.
Gameplay
At the start of each round before [one word is missing from the source text here], shake up the Beakers in the box lid, and then, holding the box under the table, randomly draw one at a time. Place each above each of the Action Mats, based on the player count:
- 1-2 players: 1 Beaker above all mats.
- 3 players: 1 Beaker above mats A and D, and 2 Beakers above B and C.
- 4 players: 2 Beakers above all mats.
Advancing Science
Each time a player is the first to assign a Rancher to any Action Space on an Action Mat with one or more Beakers, they must select and take 1 of the Beakers to advance the Microscope in their Lab. Move your Microscope along the path that matches that Beaker's color into the connected space. You MUST move it along that colored path, even if it goes in a direction you do not want. After resolving this, discard that Beaker to the box lid.
Making a Breakthrough
When your Microscope enters a space with an icon, you immediately gain the listed reward (following normal Action Space rules). After gaining the reward, reset by moving your Microscope back to its starting spot.
Solo Mode
The Rival Ranch gets its own Laboratory Mat and Microscope. If it is the first to place a Rival Rancher Card on an Action Mat, move its Microscope and discard the Beaker to the box lid.
