Phase III orders:
Connie
plays Smuggling Lair, a Brown windfall world. It lets her consume 1 good for 2 cards. It's a military world with 1 defence; her strength is 1, from Epsilon Eridani, so she can play it.
omnis
plays Volcanic World for 2 discards. This is a Brown production world. He then draws 1 card for choosing this phase.
Laga
plays Space Port for 2 discards. This is a Blue production world, and gives her 2 cards when trading a Brown good. (Though at present she has no Brown worlds in her layout.) She also draws 1 card for choosing this phase.
That concludes Round 10. Time for new Action cards! Everyone, please send me your choice.

Orders are in:
Connie Neil: Phase II - Develop
omnis: Phase V - Produce
Laga: Phase V - Produce
Phase II (Develop) is first. Thanks to Interstellar Bank, Laga draws 1 card. Everyone, if you haven't put in COs, do so now.
RftG
Phase II (Develop):
Connie
plays Terraforming Robots. With the -2 discount from Galactic Federation and -1 for choosing this phase, she pays nothing. This card lets her draw a card after playing a world, and consume a Brown good for 1 VP and 1 card. She then draws a card from Public Works.
omnis
and
Laga
both pass.
RftG
Phase V (Produce):
Connie
produces 2 Blue goods. She opts not to discard to produce on Damaged Alien Factory.
omnis
produces 1 Blue good and 2 Brown goods. He then draws 3 cards - 1 from Comet Zone, and 2 from Mining Conglomerate because he produces the most Brown goods this phase.
Laga
produces 2 Blue goods and 1 Green good. She also draws 3 cards - 1 from Gem World, and 2 from Consumer Markets, matching the number of Blue goods produced.
Cards are going out now. Everyone, please send me your choice of Action card for round 12.

Action cards for this round:
Connie Neil: Phase III - Settle
omnis: Phase II - Develop
Laga: Phase IV (x2) - Consume (double VPs)
Three phases. Phase II (Develop) opens with
Laga
drawing 1 card, courtesy of Interstellar Bank.
Everyone, if you haven't put in COs for Phase II (or Phase III), send them in. If you have a choice on Consume powers, you can also send me COs for Phase IV.
RftG
Administrative note: Laga's card draw exhausted the deck. I've reshuffled the discards.
Now, Phase II.
Connie
plays Investment Credits. She gets -2 cost from Galactic Federation, so it costs nothing. It gives a further -1 cost on any future decelopments. She then draws a card from Public Works.
omnis
plays Colony Ship for 1 discard. He chose this phase, so he gets -1 cost. He also picks up 1 card from Public Works.
Laga
passes.
RftG
Phase III (Settle):
Connie
discards Colony Ship to play Lost Species Ark World. This normally costs 5 discards, but she plays it for free. It's a Green production world; whenever she produces on this world, she draws 2 cards. She then draws 2 cards - 1 for choosing this phase, and 1 from Terraforming Robots.
omnis
just played the other Colony Ship, and he discards it to play Galactic Studios. This also normally costs 5 discards. It's a Blue production world. Whenever he produces on it, he draws 1 card; it also allows him to consume 1 good for 1 VP and 1 card.
Laga
plays Earth's Lost Colony for 2 discards. This is a Blue production world, and also allows her to consume 1 good for 1 VP.
RftG
We are down to Phase IV (Consume). Everyone has 3 goods to consume.
Connie
consumes her goods on Public Works, Epsilon Eridani and Terraforming Robots, for 3 VPs and 2 cards.
omnis
consumes his goods on Galactic Trendsetters, the freshly placed Gaalctic Studios and Public Works for 4 VPs and 1 card.
Laga
consumes her goods on Consumer Markets and Old Earth (either of which can take more than one good) for 3 VPs. However, she chose this phase, and opted to double her points; she gets 6 VPs.
Cards are going out now to finish Round 12. Everyone, please send me your choice of Action card for Round 13.
