Etherstone - a card game in a mysterious world, for 2 to 4 players

In Etherstone, players take on the role of Leaders seeking the strength to avert imminent extinction.

They must gain the most victory points through various means, such as summoning cards, fighting threats, and using their abilities as effectively as possible.

The first phase of the game is the draft. Each player chooses their seven cards and a leader card. Leaders have a specific number of health points, a strength value, and a special ability.

Then the actual game begins. By performing various actions, Leaders will gain Etherstones, summon rituals, followers, and technologies, and activate the abilities of played cards. Finally, they will attack threats until the end of the game.

When one of the end-of-game conditions is triggered, the Leader with the most points wins!
