A 40-minute introduction to EtU gameplay from RogueRaashk
This is a MUST WATCH if you are building a deck!!
Spirit Cost
All Creature and Spell cards have an associated Spirit Cost, which is the ‘cost’ to play the card.
You will start with 0 Spirit, then you will gain 1 Spirit for each round of the game up to 10 Spirit.
Players will aim to balance their deck so that cards with lower Spirit are available to begin the game and higher Spirit cards will be usable towards the later stages of the game.
Health
Citizens will start with 30 health and this is reduced when attacked by opposition forces.
The objective of the game is to deal sufficient damage to reduce your opponent Citizen to zero health.
Creatures
Creatures are the backbone of the game and will form the majority of cards within a deck. Creatures are deployed using Spirit and can then deal out damage to opposition cards. They stay on the game board until their health is depleted, then they go to the graveyard.
