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

The Decks

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


The Character Decks

  • Red: the Warrior Deck. The symbol for Warriors is crossed swords.
  • 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.
  • Ability Cards: These cards describe abilities that can be played, either permanently or temporarily.
  • Action Cards: These cards describe special actions that can be used once when played.

The Item Decks

  • Gray: the Shop Deck. The symbol for items is a pouch.
    • Item cards can be bought or sold, and represent common items used while adventuring.
    • Item cards can sometimes be gained because of Adventure cards.
  • Gold: the Loot Deck. The symbol for items is a coin.
    • Loot cards represent rare treasures or improved equipment that can be used while adventuring.
    • Loot cards are sometimes gained because of Adventurer 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.
