Description
You choose from one of two card-based automa decks, where the tactical deck shows on the back of each card the buying power that the automa will have for its upcoming turn. The front of the card shows three rules by which the automa will choose which of the three available tiles to draft after factoring in what it can afford. When the automa earns income by passing (can't afford any tiles) or by crossing an income space, it does so according to an income number on its card, which tends to be low when the card's buying power is high and vice-versa. The automa doesn't place polyonimos, but instead collects end-game points based on what it collects over the course of the game.
