Play proceeds clockwise. 

TURN SEQUENCE
Players take turns. 
Each turn has 4 Phases:
Population Phase 
Disaster Phase
Score Phase
Card Phase

POPULATION PHASE
You may take 1D6 of the following 6 actions: 
1. Migrate: Move up to 1D6 of your population Tokens from any Regions to any Regions. 
2. Transfer: Switch places of 1D6 of your Tokens and an opponent’s in adjacent Regions. 
3. Growth: Gain 1D6 Tokens in any Regions you already occupy. 
4. Lure: Move 1D6 Opponent’s Tokens to any Regions.
5. S**t Happens: Draw 1D6 cards from the deck and put them in your hand.
6. Look Outs: Look at the Hands of all other players. Steal 1 card from one of them. 
You cannot pick the same action more than once per turn. 

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
Max hand size is 7 cards.  Discard excess cards. 
If the deck runs out, shuffle the discard and draw from it.
