Read the full game description

For all eternity, the Trees of life have rooted the harmony between Sky, Earth and Sea. But the Trees are dying. The time has come: they must be planted atop the sacred peninsulas. The cards are in your hands! Will you be able to achieve harmony by honouring your pledges? In this strategy card game, you will yourself determine, in the course of the game, the number of tricks (all cards played in a turn and won by a player) that you must win. In addition, your opponents and yourself can alter the trump suit(the family that overrides the others) at any time; but this will cost you, so will you do it? It is up to you to constantly decide on the best option and to adapt to situations combining uncertainty, tension and risk-taking! Eternity is an original trick-taking game that revisits the classic card games like Whist or Belote.
