Public Objective

TI3 is usually played to 10 Victory Points, long games to 14 VP. Fulfilling objectives is the primary way to accumulate these points, with Public Objectives providing the majority of the VP needed to win the game.

They come in 2 "stages", with stage 2 becoming available as early as the 4th game round. Public Objectives provide 1-3VP, and once acheived are permanent VP. All players can acheive Public Objectives when they have fulfilled the requirements during the present game round. A player can claim any face-up Public Objective.

Normally only 1 Public Objective can be claimed per Status Phase, noted by placing your race's flag on the card and moving your token on the VP track to match the value printed on the card. Normally, 1 Public Objective is revealed each Status Phase.
