Second game, another question

[jmt]

If a mission has 2 to complete (or any other multiple items) must all items be available at the same time or can you "pay it over time" as, say, 1 on 2 consecutive turns?

All at once, or not at all.

All at once, or not at all.

We played it that way - makes sense anyway.

I'd need to dig out the rules' citation, but I am sure it's specifically stated that way.

I was not able to find it but that was in the middle of a game

As the most recent file, I'll use the downloadable rulebook for reference.

While not explicit in either the description of stage 3 or the example, there is no concept of partial contract resolution [or partial complication resolution]. Implied in the language in the contract resolution example on page 21 (note that there's no 21 in the lower left of the page) "She must be able to meet both requirements by spending a and resource tokens from her Resource Pool." is that it is all or nothing.

Thanks, Ian
