In the advanced two-player game, what happens when I choose both Explore cards?

The designer (Tom Lehmann) answered this directly on BoardGameGeek, and the rulebook is consistent with it.

There is one Explore phase. The player with both draws eight and keeps two (plus power effects), and the opponent does a normal draw two keep one — the opponent gets nothing from your bonuses. Both Consume actions also give a single phase; you sell a good first, then double VP.
