During the End of the Game, these are awarded one at a time,
starting with the leftmost achievement.

//END OF GAME_
The game ends in 1 of 2 ways:

1. A player or team achieving Superstar status. Superstars win the game immediately. Do not award achievements.
2. At the end of a round in which the last event was resolved. Players proceed to awarding achievements.

ACHIEVEMENTS
Each End of Game achievement is awarded to the player or team, if any, who earned it. These achievements are awarded one at a time
from left to right. If there is ever a tie for an achievement condition, all tied players or teams earn the achievement.

NOTE: Players or teams cannot earn superstar status during awarding of achievements.

After all achievements have been awarded, if any, players or teams compare the final position of the Fame tokens on their Fame Tracks
with the player or team having the most fame winning!

In the event of a tie, the tied player or team that earned the most Achievements Fame tokens wins. If there is still a tie, the tied player or
team with the most RELOAD Fame tokens on their Fame Track wins. If there is still a tie, the tied players or teams share the victory, and the
crowd anxiously awaits a rematch on the next episode of RELOAD!

Advanced Parachuting

Instead of the standard parachuting rules, players may wish to add a bit of risk to returning to the island. The below rules replace the
standard parachuting rules.

If a player’s miniature is not on the map at the start of their turn, they must parachute onto the map follwing these steps:
1. A player must target either the Central Tower or a hex adjacent to it and places their miniature on it.
2. They roll 2 dice, and compare the results with the zone markers around the edges of the map to determine how drift affects their
ability to land in their targeted hex.
• If they rolled values matching the same zone, they land on the targeted hex. (example: both dice rolled a 1.)
• If they rolled values matching directly opposite zone markers, they land on the targeted hex. (example: a 2 and a 5 are rolled.)
• If they rolled values matching neither the same nor directly opposite zones, the player must choose to move their character 1 hex
towards a zone marker matching the value of one of the rolled dice.

Dax targets the jungle tile north of the central tower as

his landing zone. The following examples show how the 3
possible results of his die rolls affect his drift.

MATCHING RESULT - ON TARGET

Dax rolls a 1 and a 1. Because
the dice match the same zone
he does not drift and lands in the
targeted hex.

OPPOSING RESULT - ON TARGET

Dax rolls a 3 and a 4. Because
the dice match opposite zones
he does not drift and lands in the
targeted hex.

ALL OTHER RESULT - DRIFT 1 SPACE

Dax rolls a 1 and a 5. Because
the dice match neither the same
zone nor opposite zones he must
drift in the direction of one of the
zones matching his rolled dice.
In this instance in the direction
of either zone 1 or zone 5. He
chooses 5 and lands and lands in
the jungle hex below the targeted
hex.

LANDING ON TRAPS
In the rare instance where a player must land on a hex where
another player’s trap is present, immediately resolve the trap
token before proceeding to step 1.2 Choose Equipment.
