In a distant time – so far in the future that either global
warming or technical progress is so advanced that windmills are going swimmingly
in the Antarctic climate – the rising sea level and increased resource
consumption has driven mankind to increase investment in polar research. The
Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research sees an increasingly creative
interpretation of the Antarctic Treaty System.
Your objective in Antarctica is to develop research centers in Antarctica and
to mine resources – for research purposes only, of course. The sun orbits
Antarctica counter-clockwise, and each ship it thaws moves on for scientific
progress. At the end of the game, victory points for all kinds of majorities are
granted. Will your consort be the one that gained a fortune … er, has done
most to rescue mankind?
Turn order is determined by the sun. Whenever it shines on one of your ships,
you may erect buildings, recruit new scientists, build more ships, or do
scientific research. The game ends when all buildings have been erected, or when
one player has placed his last scientist.
