About the project

Eternitium is a deck-building race for 1 to 5 players: time travellers build a deck of Technology and Portal cards to dig through their Era deck and be the first to find the Eternitium gem. Released on BGA in October 2024, the adaptation now includes the Next Gen expansion and a solo campaign played against an AI deck.

Challenges and Risks

  • Lots of card animations, including during simultaneous turns
  • Many cards with unique effects and edge-case rules
  • Discard pile can be consulted at any time
  • Superposition of visible and hidden cards in each Era deck, kept consistent for every viewer
  • A Technology market that must never show duplicates

Next Gen Expansion (live)

  • 6 new card effects
  • Solo mode with 10 unique missions, each altering setup or turn sequence

Lost Gen Expansion (in development)

  • 13 new cards, including single-use Technologies destroyed after use
