Before you play

Deck building

Build a legal deck

Your Main Deck must contain exactly 50 cards, no more and no less.

You may include no more than three copies of each card ID unless that card has Innumerable.

Your Immaterial Deck may contain up to 20 cards and may contain only cards with a black-label keyword.

Loner, Team, and Invoke are black-label keywords, meaning they go in the Immaterial Deck.

Select one Generic Universe and one Archetypal Universe. Generic options are Universal for nature, Universe for modern life, and Universia for fantasy. You may use any ratio of the two selected Universes, including a deck made entirely from one of them.

Part one

General game rules

Players and victory

Universia is played by two or four players. Each begins with 10,000 Life and a 20-minute chess clock. A player loses when their Life reaches 0 or their chess clock reaches 0.

A player who cannot complete the required draw at the start of their Draw Phase loses immediately.

Field and decks

Each field has one Main Deck Zone, five Enhancement Zones, five Monster Zones, one Immaterial Deck Zone, and one Rest Zone.

Mana and momentum

Mana is a shared resource measuring from 0 to 10. Paying a cost moves the value toward the opponent. When the value becomes negative after effects resolve, the turn ends and the next player begins with its absolute value.

A player cannot pay more than their available mana plus 10 and cannot hold more than 10. Ending the Battle Phase with mana remaining passes that amount to the opponent as overflow. Ending from the Main Phase, or ending Battle with no mana remaining, gives the opponent 3 mana.

Draw Phase

Both players begin with five cards. The first player does not draw on the first turn. On later turns, the turn player must draw one card from the top of the Main Deck. If they cannot complete that required draw, they lose immediately.

After drawing for the turn, a player with more than seven cards must return cards one at a time to the bottom of their Main Deck until they have seven. At seven or six cards, they may stop or may continue returning cards until they have five. They gain 1 mana for each card returned. This must be completed before the Draw Phase ends.

Main Phase

Play monsters, activate Enhancements, and set Traps. Monsters may enter face-up vertically in attack mode, face-up horizontally in defense mode, or face-down horizontally as a set monster.

Each player's chess clock counts down only while that player is responsible for an action. Used time carries across prompts and turns. Reaching 0 causes that player to lose.

Starting on the turn after an Enhancement is played, its controller may Dispel it during their Main Phase. The Enhancement moves to the Rest Zone and its controller gains mana equal to its printed cost, up to the normal maximum of 10.

Setting a card costs no mana; its cost is paid when it is activated or flipped face up. Non-permanent Enhancements move to the Rest Zone after resolving.

Battle Phase

An attack-mode monster may attack once each Battle Phase. It may attack an opposing monster or attack Life directly when no opposing monster is present.

Use current Power and Shielding, including applicable bonuses, reductions, counters and other stat changes. Use printed values only when a rule explicitly says to, such as Normalize. Recalculate after effects resolve before comparing the next battle's stats.

Against defense mode, compare the attacker's Power to the defender's Shielding. Against attack mode, compare both Monsters' Power. The lower value is destroyed as described by the battle, and the losing player takes the difference as Life damage. Equal attack-mode Monsters destroy each other. Equal Power and Shielding values cause no destruction or Life damage.

End Phase

The player may end after the Main or Battle Phase, and the phase begins automatically when mana is negative after resolution. End Phase effects resolve before the handoff. Ending from the Main Phase or ending Battle with 0 mana gives the opponent 3 mana. Ending Battle with mana remaining passes that exact amount to the opponent as overflow. Negative mana still passes its absolute value.

Combat ruling

Infantry, Guardian & Hunter

Infantry establishes a legal declaration first. Guardian can then redirect that declared attack. Hunter begins with the same legal declaration, then bypasses Infantry as the final target and prevents Guardian from intercepting.

Infantry keyworded cards must be defeated first

If the defending field has one or more attackable Infantry monsters, the attacker must declare the attack against an Infantry monster. The attacker chooses which one when several Infantry monsters are available.

Guardian may intercept a declared attack

After a legal monster target is declared, including an Infantry target, the defending player may intercept the attack using a Guardian. A different Guardian must be in attack position to intercept.

An accepted Guardian moves and battles

If the defending player answers Yes, that Guardian changes to defense position and becomes the attack target. The attacker and Guardian battle using the attacker's Power and the Guardian's Shielding. Answering No leaves the original target in place.

Hunter resolves after a legal declaration

A Hunter must still begin with an Infantry target when Infantry is present. It then automatically retargets to the highest-power opposing attack-position monster and prevents Guardian activation. Hunter cannot choose freely or attack Life through Infantry.

Guardian does not intercept a direct Life attack, does not activate when it is already the chosen target, and must be in attack position before it can change to defense. Once one Guardian accepts, no other Guardian is offered for that attack.

Reading your cards

Keyword rules

Reading keyword labels

[On Play]: Activates when this card is played.

[On Rest]: Activates when this card goes to Rest, subject to the keyword's stated conditions. These effects are not sharable. Resting a card as a cost, such as MeatShield's cost, does not make that keyword an On Rest effect.

[Sharable]: This effect can be granted by a keyword-sharing effect. Sharing does not remove its costs, conditions or timing requirements.

[Deck]: Modifies deck construction or refers to deck requirements. This label alone does not place a card in the Immaterial Deck; Loner, Team and Invoke determine that placement.

Repeated keywords stack

Each occurrence of a keyword applies separately. Two Draw keywords draw two cards. Three Stomp keywords allow three effect-attack attempts at the start of the Battle Phase, resolving one at a time and checking legal targets and protection again for each attempt.

On a card frame, consecutive repetitions are shown as Keyword xY. Delivery x3 means three Delivery occurrences. Repetitions separated by other keywords keep their authored order.

Sharing preserves the number of eligible occurrences. Each occurrence still requires its own legal trigger and any required payment. A card that has already left the field cannot be rested again to pay another cost.

Keywords and card types

Super is a Monster keyword. Tower is an Enhancement keyword: opponent effects cannot affect this Enhancement.

Recycle, Interpose, MeatShield, SpellPlunder and SpellStudy work on both Monsters and Enhancements.

MeatShield is sharable. You may choose to rest this card to prevent another allied Monster from being destroyed. Protection applies only after the rest cost is successfully paid.

Aidlink is a sharable Monster keyword. When played, choose an allied Monster and permanently give it +100 Power and +100 Shielding. Aidlink does not grant keywords to that Monster.

Keyword ruling

Sharing and Mimic

Share only eligible effects

Only effects marked [Sharable] can be shared. On Play and On Rest effects are not sharable. Aidlink is the named exception: its On Play effect is sharable.

For a keyword with several parts, share only its [Sharable] parts. Mimic copies Armored's protection without its On Play counter. Collective also places a granted keyword's On Play counters once and removes any remaining counters placed by that grant when it ends. Other On Play effects do not trigger when keywords are shared.

Mimic copies eligible keywords until the start of your opponent's next Draw Phase. Other sharing effects use the duration stated in their own rules.

Part two

Keyword glossary

Card-specific text and newer rulings take precedence over this living summary. Keyword labels identify when an effect works and whether it can be shared.
