# Phase 2 - Distribution

At the beginning of *phase 2*, the [players](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/players.md) distribute their [actors](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/actors.md) to [locations](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/playing-field.md), while the [players](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/players.md) do not see which [actors](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/actors.md) and which [locations](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/playing-field.md) other [players](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/players.md) have sent.

[Players](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/players.md) allocate actors at the same time.

Each [player](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/players.md) has 4 different [actors](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/actors.md) and 4 different [RSP-tokens](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/rsp-tokens.md). Each [actor](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/actors.md), the alayer must supply one of the [RSP-tokens](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/rsp-tokens.md). As a result of the distribution, each of the [actors](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/actors.md) must have one of the [RSP-tokens](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/rsp-tokens.md).

After distributing the [actors](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/actors.md) with [RSP-tokens](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/rsp-tokens.md) among the [locations](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/playing-field.md), the [player](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/players.md) can (optionally) add no more than one [material resource](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/material-resources.md) to each [actor](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/actors.md), as a bet on the outcome of the [conflict](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-rules/game-turn/phase-4-conflict.md). After the [players](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/players.md) have assigned their [actors](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/actors.md) to [locations](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/playing-field.md), equipped them with [RSP-tokens](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/rsp-tokens.md), and made or not bets on the outcome of the [conflict](/welcome-to-metarcy/game-rules/game-turn/phase-4-conflict.md) at their discretion, *phase 2* ends.
