Draw the following amount of cards from each deck into their corresponding shop. * Weapon frame shop β†’ 2 slots * Attachments shop β†’ 6 slots * Gadgets shop β†’ 4 slots * Consumables shop β†’ 4 slots Each player takes turn shopping, starting from the player with the first player token and rotate clockwise.
