The rules do not state how long a player may take to answer a question or how precise an answer must be. Players must decide this amongst themselves. Players place their shuttles on either of the two blank spots on the sun. Tokens may occupy the same sunspots at any time. Players place their planet symbols along the edge of the board in front of themselves.
Players roll the die, with the player rolling the highest number going first.
If two or more players tie, they roll again. The player with the first turn rolls the die again, and moves their shuttle the indicated number of spaces in a clockwise direction. Another player will take a Planetrivia card from the appropriate planet and read the question on the back of the card. If you answer the question correctly, then place the appropriate planet symbol token of your color on the planet space on the game board. You do not need to answer a question.
