Siberia: The Card Game (Boxed Card Game)

By Coffee Haus Games

Overview:

To set up the game, place two different resources at random on each area in Siberia, place the remaining resources on their supply spaces, draw four of the 20 investment tiles from the bag and lay them on the game board, give each player his own playing panel and workers/salesmen, then place all the action counters in the bag.

In the second phase, players take actions one at a time until everyone has no actions remaining or passes. A resource or worker action can be taken only if both spaces are filled in the appropriate column, when a player takes an action, he removes all action counters in the column, returns them to the bag, then takes the action.

The research facility action must be carried out first, with the player taking the designated resources from the supply and placing one resource in any location that does not already have that resource available.

The worker actions allow a player to place a salesman in a stock exchange, place a worker in Vladivostok, move workers up to three spaces, move a manager to any action space, or claim an investment tile, each investment tile corresponds to a particular resource or worker action and is placed on the player panel permanently, allowing the player to take this action more easily in the future since the column is always half-filled.

Each resource action allows a player to remove that resource from all areas where he has a worker, then immediately sell them on one of the stock exchanges where he has a salesman.

(Once an area is exhausted, nothing can be placed in it for the remainder of the game.) The player who has the most money wins.
