➡️ 3. Experimentation Phase:
Players can perform several actions:
– Buy an Activity card: Only once per turn, players can buy one of the 4 Activity cards available on the central board by paying the indicated cost, which gives them bonuses depending on the number of cards owned.
– Transform resources: Players can transform resources according to the instructions on their personal board or the Marie Curie tile.
– Validate Experience tiles: Players can validate one or more experience tiles.
– Validate the personal objective tile.
➡️ Advancement on the Timeline: Certain actions allow players to advance the Timeline marker on the timeline, which can trigger immediate effects for all players.
