In Eternal Decks, you cooperate with up to three players to complete six diverse stages. You start with a small deck and expand it using unique character decks called Eternals. Each turn, you choose one action: play a card, generate a jewel, or pass a card to a teammate. Color and number placement rules on the field add tactical depth. Challenges include surviving ghost towns and defeating bosses.
Who Is This Game For?
Eternal Decks is suitable for hobby gamers and cooperative card game fans aged 10 and up. Its roughly 40-minute playtime fits well into game nights with limited time. Communication limits add challenge without requiring deep prior experience. The solo mode also offers flexible play options.
How It Works
Core mechanics include deck building, hand management, and communication limits. Each player manages a deck, expanded by acquiring cards from various Eternals. On your turn, you perform one action: play a card in one of three field rows, generate a jewel, or give a card to a teammate. Cards can't be placed with the same color or number adjacent in a row, and jewels help mitigate negative Eternal effects. The goal is to cooperate through six varied stages.
