Rules Reference
Relics are powerful artifacts with unique abilities.
- Players can use the abilities of hazardous, cultural, and industrial relic fragments in their play area to draw cards from the relic deck.
- Relic fragments can be found when exploring planets and frontier tokens, and can be exchanged with other players as part of transactions.
- When a player is instructed to gain a relic, they draw the top card of the relic deck and place it faceup in their play area.
- If there are no cards in the relic deck, they do not gain a relic.
- A player can use the abilities of relics that are in their play area.
- Relics cannot be traded.
Notes
- If the relic deck is empty, a player may still purge three relic fragments as an action.
- If an eliminated player had any relic fragments, they are discarded to their respective exploration discard piles. If an eliminated player had any relics, they are purged.
- For notes about specific relics, see the relic notes page.
