Reset the Grid

If all modifiers in the Grid are revealed, the Grid is reset after the task (step A3). If all modifiers in the Grid are revealed outside of a task, reset the Grid immediately. 

To reset the Grid, flip all modifiers – including those in the Archive – face down and shuffle them. Then, place 16 modifiers face down at random on the table and place the remaining modifiers face down on the Archive card. 

If you reveal (or analyze) more modifiers than available, you must immediately reset the Grid with the following special rule: 

  1. Set aside the modifiers you just revealed (or analyzed). Then, flip all other modifiers – including those in the Archive – face down and shuffle them. 
  2. Put the set-aside modifiers back into the Grid (they stay revealed) and fill it with random modifiers until there are 16 modifiers in the Grid. 
  3. Place the remaining modifiers on the Archive card. Finally, continue revealing (or analyzing) modifiers from the Grid. (Apply all revealed modifiers if you perform a task.)

Clarifications:

  • The Archive usually has 3 modifiers. However, if modifiers are added to or removed from the modifier pool, the archive may have more or fewer than 3 modifiers.
