Eras Deck
Overview
The Eras Deck introduces global time-based phases that shape the battlefield. These world effects change every few turns, simulating epochs of magic, war, peace, or decay.
Setup
Shuffle the Eras Deck and place it face-down in the center of the table. At the beginning of the game, reveal the top Era. It remains active for 3 to 5 full turns or until replaced.
Era Rotation
You may change the active Era based on a turn counter, dice roll, or specific game conditions. For example, roll a d6 each turn - on a 5 or 6, switch to the next Era.
Stacking and Duration
Only one Era should be active at a time. These are persistent effects and impact all players equally. Eras stay in effect until replaced or removed.
Design Tip
Eras add narrative weight to each phase of the game. You can create campaign arcs or story-driven shifts by preselecting a sequence of Eras.
