Background Information and Core Principles

Extinction: Rift in the Aether (ERA) is a light-hearted competitive Player-vs-Player (PvP) card game, themed around elemental dinosaurs (known as dinos) battling each other to conquer the era. You take actions, equip your dinos with weapons and armour, and battle with them.
ERA has been designed intentionally to have very simple game mechanics that are difficult to master but very easy and straight-forward to learn.
Games of ERA should not take a long time to complete. An average game between two players should span approximately 8 turns, and take approximately 15-20 minutes to complete (when played by players who are familiar with the game).
ERA is designed primarily to be played by two players (duel), but is compatible with multiplayer involving 3+ players as well.
The four elements bound together by the Aether are Earth, Air, Fire, Water.

Deck Construction

Each player must construct their game components before the game begins. The components the player must prepare are:

3 dinos
- A player can select any 3 dinos they wish, however cannot select more than 1 of a unique dino.
- Selected dinos can be of any element.
3 crystals
- Crystals must match the elements of the selected dinos.
  - For example, if you select 2 Air dinos and 1 Earth dino, you must have 2 Air crystals and 1 Earth crystal.
30 card deck
- The deck consists of 3 event cards and 27 other cards.
- The 3 events must match the elements of the selected dinos.
  - For example, if you select 2 Water dinos and 1 Air dino, you must have 2 Water events and 1 Air event.
- A unique event card can only be selected once. As an example, if you have 3 Water dinos, you must have 3 Water events, but each of those Water events must be a different unique event card.
- The 27 other cards can be any combination of Action and Equipment cards. A deck can have up to 3 copies of any unique Action or Equipment card.

Players should refer to Card Legality for information on which cards are allowed to be included in ERA decks.
