This is a currently unnamed time-travel themed CCG system.

Playing area

The playing area is divided into Eras. At the start of the game, each player removes all the Era cards from their deck, and puts them into play in a line along the centre of the table, in chronological order, with each card face-up, and facing its owner. This is the Timeline, and these are the Eras in which the game will take place.

Eras

While Era cards are face up, their owner has a portal into that time period. When an Era card is turned face down, the portal is closed.

If all of a player's Era cards have been removed from play, they lose the game.

Units and Terrain

All Unit and Terrain cards exist in a particular Era - if a Unit or Terrain is ever unassigned to an Era (if that Era no longer has an Era card), then it is destroyed.

Unit cards have Damage and Stamina ratings; some Terrain cards also have Stamina ratings. If a card ever sustains a number of wound counters that exceed its Stamina, it is destroyed.

Turn structure

A player's turn consists of playing one Thing, and either playing an Action card or taking a Unit Action.

Playing a Thing

Thing cards (Units or Terrains) can be played into any Era to which the player has an open portal; the card is placed in front of the Era.

Where a Thing card has a specific year printed on it, it can only be played into an Era that includes that year. If a Thing has a year followed by a plus sign, it can be played into any Era that contains or follows that year.

Playing an Action

Where an Action card has a specific year printed on it, it can only target Units and Terrain if they are in an Era that includes that year. If a Thing has a year followed by a plus sign, it can target Units and Terrain in any Era that contains or follows that year.

Unit Actions

To take a Unit Action, a player nominates a Unit or Terrain card they control. That Unit may either:-

• Heal: The Unit removes one wound counter from itself.
• Attack: Select another Unit in the same Era as a target. The targeted Unit sustains wounds equal to the Damage Rating of the attacking Unit.
• Warp: Move the Unit from its current Era to an Era adjacent on the timeline.
• Alter a portal: If the Unit is in an Era with no enemy units, it may open or close any portal in that Era by turning the Era card face up or face down. It may also destroy a face-down portal by removing that Era card from the game.
