6. Look Outs: Look at the Hands of all other players. Steal 1 card from one of them.

DISASTER PHASE
You may play up to 1D6 Disaster cards.
Each Disaster card has a Region or Zone it targets.
Each Disaster card has a Severity Rating.
The targeted region must lose a number of Tokens equal to the
Severity of the Disaster card played.
The player who played the disaster card chooses which Tokens are affected.
The targeted tokens are removed from the board.
Any other player may play an appropriate Mitigation card to decrease the
Severity of the Disaster card.
Played Disaster & Mitigation cards are discarded.
Note: a Mitigation card will only mitigate damage (casualties) in one Region.
SCORE PHASE
The player with the most Tokens in a Region is said to dominate that Region.
If there is a tie in a Region, the Region is said to be contested.
You may choose on your turn in this Phase whether to Score or not.
If you choose to score, all players score:
Each player gains 1 Victory Point for each region they dominate.
No one scores points in contested regions.
Use Coins to keep track of Victory Points.
CARD PHASE
