| everybody talk to your own culture | Coach non-colonizers as they arrive:
- show them their cards and remind them of the rules for eating.
- Remind them how they need to trade to get cards of different suits in Round 1.
- They will need to get cards of the same suit in Round 2 (but a different suit than they started with)
- They can only harvest as many Fruit Loops as they have “scored” in their card-trading in that round.
- If they do not have enough food, some of them must starve and become refugees in a foreign land.
- If they get taken over, they may lose their ability to harvest Fruit Loops and be forced to buy Cheerios.
- Remind them to keep a high card ready to defend their power circle, and
- NO STALLING. They must fight when the colonizer attacks or they give up their power circle.
- Show them the schedule so they can see when rounds will start and end (on cell phone time)

Evan, Hillary, Autumn, and Wesch
| Coach colonizers as they arrive:
- They start the round by placing a Yellow Card in their “natural resources expended” bin. (put the first in there for them to demonstrate)
- Goal: Create a global economy.
- They can only grow cotton, Fruit Loops, and Cocoa Puffs in certain places. Encourage them to colonize at least one of each and get their global economy rolling.
- Show them the broken yellow card and tell them to go colonize a labor colony to put it together for them. No colonizer should work. They can be more effective by getting others to work for them.
- Show them the schedule so they can see when rounds will start and end (on cell phone time)
