Action phase is about putting strategy into the motion. During the phase the only one allowed to
move is the playing team. Turns of the teams are predetermined in the rules on the beginning. 


The teams and its participants assume that the goal of the game is to defeat the opponent while
securing the survival of their people. That strategy showed us through human nature, that is
blinded by its own primal instincts. It proves that history repeat itself since the need of this mission
appeared after the destruction of the Earth caused by war. The planet still untouched contained
more then enough resources for everyone to live in peace. By putting down the walls and
conquering the territories form each other they limit planets supply and doom their own missions. 


Only after some time of clashes teams start to see bigger picture and cooperate in order to
achieve the joint goal. However cooperation part was interfered by louder music and observers
distractions provoking conflict. Even in the time cooperation teams failed to achieve their mission
but they learned a lesson about the power and influence of their first instinct reaction, and the
consequences of it, which should help them in the future conflictive situations.
