Each planet is a [snub dodecahedron](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snub_dodecahedron), with 12 pentagonal spaces and 80 equilateral triangle spaces. The bottom pentagon and its surrounding 14 triangles are not used, so the playable board has 11 pentagonal spaces and 66 triangle spaces. The 11 pentagonal spaces are called HQ spaces.

For the purposes of the rules below, two spaces are "adjacent" if they share an edge. To find the distance between to a target, count the spaces along the shortest chain of adjacent spaces, counting the target but not your own space. Each HQ pentagon counts as 2 spaces for the purposes of counting shooting distance. This _only_ affects shooting distance -- moving onto a pentagon is still one ordinary Move.

For multi-player games, the player that rolls highest places a Factory and adjacent Rover, then players take turns counter-clockwise placing. The last player to place moves first, then play moves clockwise after that player.
