Game Setup is a phase that occurs before the game begins. Some powers are used during Game Setup to create initial conditions, such as Miser's second hand or Tick-Tock's countdown timer.
In Game Setup, players are given their planets and ships, and put four ships on each planet. Next, players choose their aliens - the exact selection method varies between editions and house rules. Finally, players are dealt their initial hands.
