 Entanglion is a cooperative board game designed for two players. The goal is to reconstruct a quantum computer developed by an ancient race. Work together with your teammate to navigate the three galaxies of the quantum universe – Centarious, Superious, and Entanglion – in a quest to collect eight quantum computer components. Be careful to avoid detection by the planetary defense mechanisms guarding the components!

Next, place the Quantum Shuffle card face down on the deck. Finally, place the remaining event cards face down on the deck.
 5. **Set the initial detection rate**. Place the detection rate token on the detection rate scale. For an easy game, start with a detection rate of 1 or 2. For a more challenging game, start with a detection rate of 3. If the detection rate reaches the final level (X) before the quantum computer has been built, the game ends in a loss.

 # Engine cards

-Engine cards are used to navigate your ships around the quantum universe. Navigation paths on the game board are labeled with the card(s) needed to traverse them (e.g. "X/CNOT" means either X or CNOT can be used to traverse that path). In some cases, only one spaceship may traverse a path. Engine cards may be played with no effect when no transition is shown on the board.

 # Detection rate
-The detection rate determines the difficulty of successfully evading planetary defenses. The detection rate token is used to keep track of the current detection rate. When a player's spaceship has been detected by orbital defenses, or a player's away team has been detected by ground defenses, the detection rate is increased, making it easier for each planet's defenses to detect the players in the future. The game ends when the detection rate reaches the final level (designated with an X).

 # Orbital defenses
 Planets in Entanglion are protected by orbital defenses that scan for ships looking to plunder the quantum components hidden there. It is possible to evade these defenses using your quantum engines. If you are detected, however, your navigation system will automatically take evasive maneuvers and jump to a random planet in the Centarious system. This jump triggers a quantum event.
