About & Settings
An unofficial, fan-made companion for Nucleum, part of the BoardGameKit family. Built to make setup faster, teaching clearer, and rules lookup easier.
Legal & content policy
- All rule summaries and teaching scripts here are original text.
- No rulebook, card text, board art, or commercial icons are reproduced.
- We link to official material rather than copying it.
- Every rules-bearing record stores its source, verification date, and confidence.
- We never invent rules to fill gaps — uncertainty is labelled, not hidden.
Verification status legend
- Verified / Official — corroborated by authoritative sources.
- Partially verified / Community consensus — widely agreed but not confirmed line-by-line against the rulebook.
- Unresolved — exact values or timing still need confirmation.
- Research needed — not yet sourced; treated as provisional.
