Answers to FAQs

  • You can  choose modules controlled by any player.
  • Unlinked modules are moved to their controller's memory exhausted.
  • Unlinking a module in a memory has no effect.
  • You can link this module even if there is no valid target to unlink. In that case, the effect has no impact on the game.
  • If the ability has at least one target, you must choose one.

Long ago, understanding electron currents allowed us to harness electricity, boosting all our technologies. But much more was yet to be discovered in the quantum world.

When the temperature is low enough, electrons can flow without resistance in a condition called superconductivity. They couple in so-called Cooper pairs, sharing a joint quantum state that lets them traverse atoms unaffected by collisions. But this is not all: magnetic fields can make them levitate, pinning them with flux strings that pass through the material and hold it in space. What new inventions can this phenomenon lead to?
