Factions Deck
Overview
The Factions Deck assigns each player to a powerful guild, order, or secret society. Each faction grants a global passive effect, alternate objectives, or enhanced gameplay traits.
Setup
Each player draws one Faction card at the start of the game. It remains face-up and active for the duration of the match. In multiplayer, you may allow players to choose or draft factions.
Gameplay Impact
Faction effects are persistent and cannot be removed unless house rules allow, similar to emblems. These effects stack with cards and enchantments, creating deep synergy options.
Balanced Roles
Factions should be equally powerful. If needed, you can restrict certain combinations or rotate weaker/stronger factions between games.
Design Tip
Use Factions to introduce asymmetry, identity, and long-term synergy. Great for repeated play and developing house metas.
