Summary

The 10th Age is a competitive game for two or more players. Players take turns performing Actions, including drawing cards from multiple decks, playing cards from their hands, or activating card abilities. Players do not engage each other directly, but instead compete to complete one or more objectives that are listed on certain played cards, or predetermined at the start of the game. The first to complete the necessary objectives wins the game.

Basic Rules

There are multiple decks of cards in The 10th Age, each with its own kinds of cards.

  • Yellow: the Rogue Deck. The symbol for Rogues is a dagger.
  • Blue: the Mage Deck. The symbol for Mages is a magic staff.
  • Green: the Healer Deck. The symbol for healers is an ankh on a chain.
  • Purple: the Support Deck. the symbol for supporters is a harp.

All character decks contain the same kinds of cards.

  • Character Cards: These cards describe playable characters, including their stats, abilities, and cost.
    • Ally Cards: These cards describe Allies - henchmen, summoned creatures, constructs, etc., which may be played if the correct type of Character Card is in play.
    • Ally Cards can be discarded as an action, allowing the player to draw an Item Card for free.

The Item Decks

  • Gray: the Shop Deck. The symbol for items is a pouch.
    • Item Cards are drawn into the hand, and can be played onto Character Cards.

The Adventurer Decks

There are multiple Adventure Decks, each representing a different adventure, dungeon, quest, goal, etc.

  • Brown: the Adventure Deck. The symbol for an adventure card is a door.
    • Hazard cards represent dangers that players /encounter and must be overcome to progress:
      • Dangers: these cards represent adventure-wide dangers (ie. Winter's Chill or Earthquakes).
      • Traps: these are specific dangers that can harm individuals or groups (ie. Pit Trap or Spikes).
      • Monsters these are creatures of various dangerousness that are encountered (ie. Giant Spider or Orgg Warrior).
      • Hazard cards list their preferred target. If no such target is available, the player being targeted may choose.
    • NPC cards are neutral characters that can be interacted with in a variety of ways.
    • Objective cards fall into three categories:
      • Victory Conditions: describe actions that must be completed to win the game (ie. Kill the Dragon, Pull the Correct Lever, or Retrieve the Eye of Eternity).
      • Quests: a list of conditions which, when met, grant a reward (ie. Bring me a Shrubbery).
      • Objectives: items or actions which are used to fulfill Victory Conditions (ie, A Mysterious Lever Levers, A Shrubbery, 'The Dragon or The Eye of Eternity).
    • Event cards represent occurrences which effect one or more players in various ways.
    • Choice cards present players with a choice, with different outcomes depending on what choice is made.

Start of Play

Setup

Each player selects 5 Adventurers and places them into play in a row in front of them; this is their party. A party can have no more than 5 characters in it, but can have Auxiliaries - non-character units that fall under an individual character's control. The character on the left of this lineup is the party leader.

Each player then selects 5 Item cards at random; they may play any that are possible to play, and keep the rest in their hand.

Each player then draws a hand of 5 Character cards of any color (Red, Yellow, Blue, Green, or Purple); this is their hand. A player's hand size is limited to a maximum of 10 unless they have cards in play to change this rule (ie. an Item card such as a Backpack).

Selecting an Adventure

The players must agree on an Adventure deck to play. Mixing decks is not advisable.

Default Victory Condition: If the entire Adventure deck has been drawn and played, the game ends and the player with the highest total value of cards in play is the winner.

Deck Specific Victory Condition: If a player meets an in-play Victory Condition, the game ends with them as the winner. This victory overrides the Default Victory Condition.

Rules for Play

Each Round of Play consists of each player taking their Turn, one at a time, starting with a randomly selected first player, and continuing clockwise from them.

On a player's turn, they may perform three actions. They may all be different actions, or all the same action, or any combination thereof.

Actions

  • Draw 1 Card: Draw a card from any deck.
  • Activate 1 Card's Ability: Activate 1 card that is already in play. Mark or rotate the card to indicate that it has been Activated, and follow the rules on the card.
  • Play 1 Card: Play 1 card from your hand into play; if the card is an Ability card, designate which of your Characters the card applies to.
    • Permanent: The card is immediately played on the table face up.
      • Ability, Item, & Loot Cards: These cards must be placed adjacent to an applicable character.
      • Hazard Cards: These cards are immediately placed between the player's cards and the common play area when drawn, and are resolved immediately. If the resolution fails to Destroy the Hazard, move it to the common play area between all players.
      • Location & NPC Cards: These cards are played in the common area immediately; follow the rules on the card.
      • Action Cards: These cards activate when played; follow the rules on the card.
    • One-Shot: One-Shot cards activate immediately when played; follow the rules on the card, and then discard it immediately.
      • Save: Some One-Shot cards have a Save value. If they are activated

Card Stacking

  • Stacking: If you play a card that is identical to a card you already have in play, the cards Stack. Stacked cards add their HP, but only increase all other stats by +1 for each additional card in the stack, after the first; their EP remain unchanged. For example, if there are three Wolves in a stack, the stack has the sum HP of all three Wolves (minus any HP lost to combat), but all of its other stats gain a +2 bonus.
  • Stacking Monsters: If you play a Monster card and fail to destroy it, and their are is an identical Monster (or stack of Monsters) in the common area, the undefeated Monster is added to the stack. Its HP (minus any HP lost in combat when played) are added to the stack.
    • Stack Kills: If a stack suffers enough total damage to it's HP to equal to the max HP of one card in the stack, discard one such card and reduce all of that stack's bonuses accordingly by 1.
    • Stack Saturation: If adding a Unit to a stack reduces its HP as a stack to kill one or more Units in it, discard Units according to the Stack Kills rule.
    • Stack Damage: Stacks deal +1 damage per card in the stack.
    • Stack DPT: Stacks that deal or suffer DPT (Damage per Turn) only deal or suffer +1 DPT for each card in the stack after the first. The duration of the DPT remains unaffected.
    • Buffs on Stacks: Buff effects on stacks are cumulative; each card in the stack gains the buff.
    • Debuffs vs. Stacks: Debuff effects on stacks are cumulative;each card in the stack gains the debuff.
    • Stack Debuffers: Stacks with Debuff effects can only select one target for their debuff, gaining a bonus to their check for every card in the stack after the first.
