Decks

Each player starts with their own deck consisting of 5 Blue Shards, 4 Red Shards, and 1 Gold Shard. Excess Material cards are placed in their own face-up stacks. Golden Prestige cards are shuffled to form the prestige deck, and all the other cards are shuffled to form the main deck. Put the top 5 cards of the main deck and the top 2 cards of the prestige deck face-up in the middle of the play area. This is the Shop. Whenever there are fewer than 5 main deck cards or fewer than 2 prestige cards in the Shop, add the top card of the appropriate deck to the Shop. A player's cards that are discarded or destroyed are put in that player's own discard pile. Cards that are Trashed are put into a face-up Trash pile belonging to no player. When a card would be drawn from a player's deck (not just looked at) while it is empty, that player first turns their discard pile face-down and shuffles it to make their new deck. This is called Cycling one's deck.

Materials and Buying Cards

Materials are neither Actions nor Things. When a Material is played, it generates a certain amount of coins and remains in play until discarded (As turns become more complex, tokens should be used to track a player's coins). A player may buy Material cards or cards from the Shop by spending coins equal to the card's cost, which is the first number in its cornervalue. Actions cost Red Coins to purchase, Things cost Blue Coins, and Materials may be paid for with any combination of Red or Blue coins. Prestige cards have two numbers in their cornervalue; the first is the card's cost, and the second is the card's prestige cost, which must be paid in Gold Coins. Gold Coins can only be spent on costs that specifically require Gold Coins, or they may be spent to change the color of one of your Red or Blue coins. Purchased cards are put on top of the buying player's discard pile. Players should keep track of how many non-Material cards they have purchased.

On Your Turn

During your turn, you may play up to one Action, up to one Thing, and any number of Materials, and buy up to one card of each type (Action, Thing, and Material). At the end of your turn (after card effects that occur at the end of a turn), discard all Materials you control, lose all your unspent coins, and then discard down to or draw up to your hand size (5 by default). Note that you do not draw at the beginning of your turn.

Victory Points and Ending the Game

Whenever a player cycles their deck, they gain 1 VP (victory point) for every 4 non-Material cards they have purchased (round down). The game ends either when a player reaches 50 VP, or when the main deck or prestige deck is empty and no cards from that deck remain in the shop. The player with the most VP at the end of the game wins.

Additional Rules

• Tokens count as Things. A Token's type is also its name. If a Token moves from play to any other zone, it ceases to exist.
• If a card played by one player ends up in another player's play area, mark it as being owned by the first player. If it would be destroyed, it goes to its owner's discard pile. (Example: Alice plays a card with the text "Play this into any player's control" into Bob's play area. It is marked as being owned by Alice. Chippy then plays a card with the text "Attach this to another player's Thing" onto that card. Chippy's card is marked as being owned by Chippy. Dave then plays a card that says "Destroy all Things controlled by target player" targeting Bob. Alice's Thing, which Bob controls, goes to Alice's discard pile, and Chippy's card which was attached to it goes to Chippy's discard pile.)
• The generic term for Action Abilities, Thing Abilities, Action and Thing Abilities, Turn Abilities, and anything else of the form "Bold Text Followed By Colon:" is "Ability"
• Effects that occur as a Reaction to an event (e.g. "When a player plays an Action card, as a reaction you may...") take place after the triggering event is declared, but before that event takes effect.
• To "Upgrade" a Material is to return it to its supply pile and replace it with a Material of the same color from the next supply pile up (A Blue Shard upgrades into a Blue Bar, a Gold Bar upgrades into a Gold Slab). This is treated as the card changing, rather than leaving the zone it's in, and the new card isn't treated as having entered the zone it's in. Slabs cannot be upgraded. To "Downgrade" a Material is to return it to its supply pile and replace it with a Material of the same color from the next supply pile down. Shards cannot be downgraded.

Infinity Vortex

Thing

At the end of each player's turn, they discard a card and put it face-down under this card. Don't mark ownership of that card. If this card leaves play or if it would lose this sentence, each player in turn order, starting with you, plays a random card from under Infinity Vortex until there are no cards left (this changes ownership of those cards).
