Special Rules
Goal
The goal is to have the most production points after 5 milestones.
Milestones
Each milestone lasts a certain number of turns and may have special rules and restrictions for each. All players must abide by each milestone, meaning that changes to the timing of a milestone affect all players. When the end of a milestone occurs, all cards left in players' hands and discard pile are shuffled into the deck and new hands are dealt before the next turn begins.
If a milestone would be changed so that it happened before the current turn, it is instead changed to happen at the end of the current turn.
If a card has text of the form "<Milestone>:", it means "Each turn during the <Milestone> milestone, instead of playing an Action card you may".
