Phases & Turn Structure

Each game consists of repeating cycles. Every 4 cycles, a Rest Phase occurs.

Cycle Structure​

Each cycle has these phases:

  1. Contract Phase — Both players draw and summon
  2. Main Phase (Player 1) — First player takes actions
  3. Main Phase (Player 2) — Second player takes actions

Contract Phase​

  1. Draw 1 card from the timekeeping deck, gain 3 AP
  2. Place 1 demon face-down
  3. Simultaneously reveal
  4. Faster demon's Evoker chooses main phase order
  5. First contract gives the Time Token to the first main phase Evoker

Speed Ties​

When contracted demons have equal speed, the Time Token holder is considered faster. The other Evoker then takes the Time Token. First contract with no token: resolve by die high roll.

Main Phase​

  • You must play or fuse your contracted demon
  • Actions cost AP with no limit on number of actions per turn
  • AP persists between main phases within a cycle

Rest Phase​

Occurs every 4 cycles:

  • All Evokers lose unspent AP
  • All demons are readied
  • Deal 4 cards to each timekeeping deck
