Nobura, a forgotten planet shrouded in mystery, was awakened when a cosmic being sacrificed its divine essence. Etherstones, magical stones, shaped the planet's biomes and linked every living creature to the world itself. Yet from the depths emerges the Vacuous, a parasitic force threatening all surface life. In Etherstone, each player commands a faction leader with life points, strength and a permanent asymmetric ability. The first phase has you build your deck by drafting seven cards and a leader – or grab a pre‑made hand that matches the leader for a quicker start. On your turn you may take only one action: Dice Draft (to acquire cards), Summon, Attack, Rest, or Void Pact. Summoned cards help you earn victory points, overcome threats and trigger unique abilities. The game ends when the active player has no cards left in hand, the Threat deck runs out, or the victory‑point pool is empty. The winner is the player with the most points after navigating this blend of strategic choices, hand management and deck‑building. With closed and open drafting, deck/bag/pool building and variable player powers, Etherstone offers a tactical 30‑60 minute experience for 2‑4 players who love fast decisions and a fantasy‑sci‑fi vibe.
