The game is played in several phases:

Phase 1: Player Board and Source Income (Water Droplets to Place)

• Players collect income from their player boards and sources (water droplets).
• Players place water droplets on their player boards and in their reservoirs.

Phase 2: Player Actions

• Players take turns performing actions.
• The main actions are:
  • Construct:
    • To construct, players must place their workers on their player board, place the desired building technology tile and the required machines in their construction wheel, and then rotate the wheel.
    • Construct dams and elevations: Dams create reservoirs to store water.
    • Build power plants: Power plants generate energy when water flows through them.
    • Build conduits: Conduits connect reservoirs to power plants.
  • Produce Energy:
    • Convert water to energy and produce energy with your power plants. You can also use another player’s conduit.
    • Move your energy marker on the energy track the number of spaces equal to the number of energy produced.
    • If you have a contract with an energy demand less than or equal to the number of energy produced, you can fulfill that contract and collect the indicated reward.
  • Workshop: Rotate your wheel to get your machines back faster.
  • Bank: Collect credits.
  • Contracts: Collect new contracts that you can fulfill when producing energy.
  • Patent Office: Buy advanced technology tiles.

Phase 3: Scoring

• Players earn victory points (VP) based on their token on the energy track.
• The round bonus tile is also resolved.

Phase 4: End of Round or Maintenance

• Players check for end-of-game conditions.
• If the game is not over, players perform end-of-round maintenance.

End of the game:

• The player with the most VP wins the game.

Strategic placement of dams, conduits, and power plants is essential to produce the most energy.
