In Welcome Station, the player who ends the game with the most money wins the game.

Setup: During setup, players receive their supplies including a score card with individual scoring goals.

Each round consists of 2 phases: Auction and Welcome.

Auction: Secretly place bids on modules to add to Welcome Station.

Welcome: Carefully place your module, as well as 1 visitor in 1 of your module's locations. Placing a module may also trigger the arrival of additional visitors in neighboring modules.

Play then returns to the auction phase. The station continues to grow as interactions between modules becomes more complex.

End game: The game ends when the module deck runs out or when one player's supply is down to 5 or fewer visitors. Players then tally scores for each zone based on their individual score cards, subtracting their loans to find who has made the most space bucks and won the game!
