Nucleum Scoring & Milestones: Networks, Contracts and Game End
Nucleum mixes points earned during play with final scoring and a milestone system that controls the game’s closing tempo.
Contracts
Completed contracts award their printed points and rewards. Some also reinforce other final categories by encouraging network, building or power development.
Powered buildings
Buildings generate points or benefits when powered according to the current rules. Only legal connections through the network count.
Railway network
Network ownership and connectivity contribute to final value through the relevant map and technology rules.
Technology and experiment boards
Unlocked technologies and asymmetric experiment-board effects can provide direct or conditional scoring at the end.
Milestones
The milestone system tracks major progress during the game. As the required milestone conditions are completed, the game moves toward its final phase.
Endgame
When the prescribed end condition is met, finish the remaining turns under the rulebook’s sequence and resolve all final scoring categories.
Winner
Highest VP wins after all contracts, networks, buildings, technologies and end-game effects are counted.
