About the game
Eternal Decks puts you and your team on an epic journey where every card decision can change the course of the game. At the start, everyone begins with just five cards in their decks, but the real fun comes when you start hunting for extra cards in the unique decks of each Eternal—legendary characters that accompany the game. Each turn, you can play a card on the board, in the river, or use an ability, generate a jewel, or even trade a card with a teammate. The challenge lies in the positioning rules: the three rows on the board cannot have cards of the same color or number adjacent to each other, and special rules apply depending on the scenario you’re in. Jewels serve as your shield against the negative effects of the Eternals, allowing you to maintain control even when the situation gets tense. The game unfolds across six distinct scenarios, each with unique objectives—from scoring points, surviving a ghost town, navigating labyrinths, to defeating a final boss. The blend of deck building, hand management, and limited communication creates a flow that demands both individual strategy and team cooperation. If you love card games that require careful planning, quick decisions, and a dash of luck, Eternal Decks promises hours of cooperative fun with unexpected twists. Get ready to test your negotiation, spatial reasoning, and teamwork skills as you battle the challenges each scenario brings.
