To play Newton Retail Edition, first gather 1 to 4 players. The game takes place in six rounds. At the start of each round, pick five cards from your hand. Each card lets you do an action in the game. Look at the symbols on the board to see what the action will do. At the end of the round, put all the cards back in your hand except one. Leaving a card on the board makes an action stronger, but you can't use that action again. Try to get new cards as you play to do more actions. When all six rounds are over, figure out your score. The player with the most victory points (VP) wins. Remember, this game is set in the 17th - century scientific revolution, so think like a young scientist! Keep your cards in a safe place and don't bend them. If you have any questions while playing, you can always contact The Game Steward.
