players will have in their hands some combination of collection technique and reality check documents. players use their collection technique to solve the intelligence problem on the field of play, and can use their reality check documents to help them do so or hinder their opponent’s ability to do so. however, not every collection technique document can be used against every intelligence problem. in order to use a technique against a problem, the collection technique has to meet two conditions.

1. 1. the intelligence aspects listed in the collection technique document have to match at least one of the intelligence aspects listed in the intelligence problem document.
2. 2. the range listed on the collection technique card has to cover the difficulty rating of the intelligence problem.
4. reality check document can be used to modify a technique or a problem to create matches that would otherwise not be possible. the player who most recently talked with someone in an au citizen organization gets to go first.

on their turn, each player will announce which (if any) of the problems on the field they want to solve, and collection technique and any reality checks to do so. this is the player’s collection strategy. a player can only target one intelligence problem a turn but should play as many collection techniques as they need to solve the problem (i.e. if it's a 2 point problem, they should play two techniques).

players may also choose to pass and not target any problem, at which point 'it’s the next player’s turn.

once a player has played his collection strategy, the other players then have a chance to act as “the system” and try and disrupt the strategy. up to three reality check documents can be played by all the other players combined to disrupt the played collection strategy. after each disruption attempt, the player whose turn it is has the opportunity to respond to the disruption by either playing his own reality check document or replacing a countered collection technique document with another one from his pile.

countered techniques and associated reality check documents are placed in the discard pile; reality checks which are used to modify an intelligence problem document stay on the field until the intelligence problem is solved.

 

if the player still has an intact collection strategy after all disruption attempts have been made (or if none of the other players attempt to disrupt his strategy), the player keeps the intelligence problem document, and counts the number of techniques required to solve the problem (as identified in the intelligence problem document) towards his point total. play then continues to the next player. if a player is unable to respond to a disruption attempt, his turn is over and play continues to the next player. when a player is trying to solve a problem that requires multiple techniques, his turn may end with some collection technique documents still being on the field of play but not enough to solve the problem. in this case, the non-countered collection technique documents stay associated with that intelligence problem on the field, and other players can opt to solve the problem by adding their own collection technique documents to complete the collection strategy on their turn

play continues around the table until all players have determined there is nothing else they can do. this ends the round. before the next round starts:

• 1) if there are less than ten documents on the field, place additional documents from the intelligence problem pile on the table until there are ten.
• 2) any player who has documents left over can discard any unused documents that they don’t want for the next round.
• 3) after all players have discarded unwanted documents, rebalance by handing out new documents (collection technique and reality check) to each player so they are back up to a set of seven documents.
• the next round starts with the player who went second in the last round
