Revenant reference sheet

Overview

• Competitive worker placement, 1–4 players, set in the Voidfall universe [p.2 — Introduction]
• Play as rival admirals escorting a fleet through 4 rounds of Voidborn attacks [p.4 — Goal of the Game]
• Place Crew figures on ships to gain Influence with Great Houses and take ship actions [p.4 — Action Phase]

Turn structure

Each round follows this sequence [p.4 — Round Sequence]:

1. Sonar Phase (skip Round 1): spawn Voidborn via Rift dice OR place new ships if Hyperjump resolved; draw Improvement cards per Captain level
2. Action Phase: each player takes 3 turns; each turn = 1 Main action + 1 Bonus action
3. Breach Phase: Voidborn attack sector by sector (1–8); distribute damage to House ships; check Corruption
4. Hyperjump Phase: if Hyperjump marker is Enabled, resolve jump sequence; otherwise skip
5. Recall Phase: retrieve Crew figures; move ships off planets; highest Tactics player picks next first player

Actions

Main Action steps (each turn) [p.4 — Action Phase]

1. Place a Crew figure on any ship with an empty action space (not another player's Frigate or Civilian ships)
2. Gain Influence with that ship's affiliated House (Revenant = any House; own Frigate = draw Hidden Influence cards)
3. Optionally move the ship (small ships only) before or after resolving the action
4. Resolve the ship's action (see table below)
5. Gain 1 Corruption if the ship was corrupted or you chose the Corrupted Planet action

Bonus Action (choose one non-corrupted Compartment action) [p.5 — Bonus action]

• Remove Corruption: spend 1 Neutronium + discard 1 Improvement card; may do twice
• Gain Resource: gain 1 Resource token onto a non-corrupted slot
• Gain Tactics: advance Tactics track by 1
• Play card: spend Resource cost of an Improvement card to play it
• Activate ability: resolve all Activate-icon abilities on your boards
• Move Frigate: move Frigate up to 2 Sectors; no ship action resolved

Combat

Breach Phase — sector order 1→8 [p.6 — Breach Phase]

• Each Voidborn ship deals 1 damage; subtract 1 per Absorber in that Sector
• Distribute total damage among House-affiliated ships only (never player Frigates)
• Player whose Frigate is closest to the Sector decides damage distribution; Tactics breaks ties
• Ship destroyed when damage exceeds its empty Damage spaces → remove from map, decrease House Power
• Excess damage that cannot hit any ship → hits Revenant; if Revenant full, resolve top Revenant Damage tile
• After all damage: if a Rift + 1+ Voidborn share a Sector, add 1 Corruption to a House ship there
• Remove all Absorbers from each Sector after resolving it

Scoring

Scored after Breach phase of Round 4 [p.6 — Final Scoring]

• Influence: each Influence point × House Power = VP (e.g. 5 Influence × 3 Power = 15 VP); includes Hidden Influence cards
• Hidden Agenda: 6 VP per completed Objective (up to 3 objectives per card)
• Equipment & Training cards: 2 VP each played
• Support cards: 1 VP each played
• Captain advancements: 1 VP each
• Resources: 1 VP per 4 Resource tokens on Frigate board
• Corruption penalty: −2 VP per Corruption remaining on Frigate board
• Colony card bonus: if exactly 1 Colony card revealed, +1 Power to that House and resolve its extra scoring condition
• Tiebreaker: highest Tactics track position wins

End of game

• Game ends after the Breach phase of Round 4 [p.4 — Goal of the Game]
• Reveal Hidden Agenda cards (if not already revealed during Round 4); mark completed Objectives
• Reveal all Hidden Influence cards; add to public Influence totals
• Colony cards: 1 revealed = +1 Power to shown House; 2 revealed = no Power bonus (Hyperjump not enabled) [p.6 — Final Scoring]
• Player with most VP wins; Tactics track breaks ties

Glossary

• House Power: number of ships a House has on the map; shown by token on Influence track; multiplies Influence into VP [p.6 — House Power]
