Game Presentation

You are Ecomechanics: ‘New World’ artisans whose aim is to reduce the extraction of raw materials from our planet. Your art consists of constructing, repairing, or recycling pieces of robots that were the backbone of the labour force in the ‘old world’ of mass production, in order to transition from an extraction-based way of life to one that is more in tune with the physical limits of the planet. Your dream: To be honoured with the Ecomechanics’ most prestigious award: the Medal of the Order of the Leaf.

With 4 players, the game is played in teams, 2 vs. 2; teammates are sitting next to each other.

How the game is played

Game setup

Give one Shed to each Ecomechanic and place the following Parts inside them: 1 Nut, 1 Oil Drop, 1 Circuit Board, 2 Energy

Place the correct number of randomly-drawn House Droid cards on the table

Sort the Droid cards for the appropriate number of players into 3 decks according to their Season (I, II, or III) and shuffle each deck individually.

Make a single face down draw deck with these 3 decks and the 2 Interseason cards by doing the following:

a.  Place the Season I deck first, with the Interseason II card on top.

b.  On top of this, place the Season II deck, with the Interseason III card on top.

c.  Place the Season III deck on the top of this deck.

d.  Flip this entire deck over and place it, face up, in one of the 2 spaces in the Card Distributor. The Season I cards will therefore be on the top of this deck.

4 players: There are two decks, one with the cards for 2 players, and the other with the cards for 3 and 4 players

Place the card distributor between the Ecomechanics
