The player who defeats the last security card takes the loot and places it in front of them. They also take a blank card.

The manager of the defeated building draws a new filter card and puts it face up on the table with a piece of Loot. They draw four new security cards. If this building is defeated, repeat the same process, drawing five cards instead.

At the end of their turn players discard as many cards as they like and redraw up to five.

When the draw deck is empty, shuffle the discard pile to form a new draw deck.

The player who gets three pieces of loot first wins.
