Replication / Matter Transfer

Notes

Matter Transfer

The sequence of play is:

• choose an amount of Alien Influence to pay, in order to activate the event
• choose an upgrade you intend to move, and a destination
• announce your intention
• other players individually decide whether to pay a greater amount of Alien Influence to block the move
• if no-one blocks it, the move completes

Any player can pay to block the move, not just the player(s) affected by it. Players cannot pool resources to block it, however.

The amount paid initially and the amount paid to block happen only once. There is no repeated bidding back and forth, or escalation of the amount.
