The cards that are above your player board and only showing red, are activated on your opponent’s turns. When the cards are in dock, face up on your player board, these ships are activated on your turn. The difference in where the cards are located is the twist of Space Base.

In space, no one can hear you scream, but when playing Space Base, your friends definitely will. “I swear, if I roll another damn three combination, I am chucking these dice into space.”-Brandon Kempf April 2019
