Three things happen between rounds:

  1. Everyone gets income — gain the resources shown on your starting income card plus the resources printed in the bottom-right corner of every card you have tucked. (With organizations from Space Agencies, income resolves only at the start of rounds 3, 4, and 5 — there is no income card, and income uses only the tucked cards.)
  2. Pass the starting player marker one seat to the left. A new player will start the next round
  3. Move the rotation reminder token onto the next round's stack of end-of-round cards

To speed up the game, players may resolve their income any time after they have passed, even before the current round ends.

Also Between Rounds

  • Clear any marked organization once-per-round abilities (Space Agencies only)
  • Gold milestones and neutral milestones do not retrigger between rounds — they are triggered by crossing spaces on the scoring track during turns

Refilling the Card Row

Whenever you draw a card from the card row, replace it immediately with a card from the top of the deck. If the deck is ever empty, shuffle the discard pile to make a new deck.
