To ready Upgrade Cards with Recur and Non-Recur Icons[]

Some upgrade cards that can be exhausted are marked with a recur () icon next to their name and are readied during the Status Phase. While an upgrade card that is not marked with the icon or icon is exhausted, that card is treated as if it has the icon and is readied during the Status Phase.

Some upgrade cards are marked with a non-recur () icon. These cards do not ready during the Status Phase unless that player pays the cost to ready the card.

  • If both players can pay to ready cards during the Status Phase, they take turns readying one card at a time, starting with the first player, until one player has no more cards to ready.
