To play Asking for Trobils, first, decide who will be the Trobil Hunters. Each player starts with one ship. Place your ship at different locations on the board to gather resources. These resources are key to trapping Trobils. If you find that one ship isn't getting you enough resources, fly through the wormhole on the board to create two or three ships. You can also make connections with other elements on the board to gain more resources or interact with the local Riffraff. Send out pirates, bounty hunters, or gangsters to make areas more difficult for your opponents. On the other hand, send traders and courtesans to enhance locations for everyone. Remember, for every Trobil card you capture, you get victory points. The player with the most points at the end of the game wins. As for the Kickstarter Edition, note that paid add - ons from the campaign are not included unless it's specifically stated. When you're done playing, just neatly put all the pieces, cards, and ships back in the box. Keep the box in a dry place to prevent any damage to the game components.
