Crew consensus established the following conditions: Each round of competition shall require a different game. No Card-games and chess-alikes unless neither or both opponents are swarms. The two lowest-scoring contenders will move ahead from the first 3 rounds. The games shall be ordered in reverse chronological order from contemporary to ancient. Round 2 - μ-μ Rocket Players race to organize supply chains for Silurian remittances being sent by rocket to competing factions at the Silurian colony on Luna. The rockets cannot launch until they are full, so each player must direct the flow of cargo for successive rockets in the alloted time. The winner is the player who successfully launches the most rockets. Opponents can interfere with each other by employing the Grumpy, an orbital laser platform. Opponents can also assign spies to distract the rocket pilots with surprise Purr attacks, as well as by jumping upon the control panels to redirect the rockets and steal the cargo for their own faction.
