Moving Through the Menus

Press one key to choose. You do not press Enter to pick a menu item. Each item shows its key in brackets, like (1). Press that key and it runs at once.

Every menu leaves with the 0 key, labeled "Quit". On a turn menu (Spending, Attack, Covert, Trading), Quit moves you to the next step of your turn; you cannot go back to that menu until your next turn. On a side menu (like the Bank or the System Menu), Quit takes you back to where you were.

The System Menu opens with the * key from the Spending menu. It holds extra options like Preferences, Set Tax Rate, and Show Instructions.

Pressing Enter with no other key also chooses Quit — the prompt shows "Quit" so you can see what Enter will do. On a turn menu, this only happens if you turn on "Enter exits Buy menu" in Preferences; on a side menu, Enter always chooses Quit.
