Over the hammering noise of your steam powered airship, you hear a distinct and frightening roar. Your opponent has summoned a fearsome Stygian dragon! The scaled beast glares furiously at your army marching below, diving in for a brutal and bloody kill. In response, you rekindle the Chaos spark smoldering in one of your berserkers by channeling the power of your energy crystals. She lunges towards the majestic beast – a clash of fury and fire that brings further ruin to an already shattered world. Have you bought your faction enough time to reach sanctuary, or will you suffer defeat at the hands of your pursuer? Welcome to Your Existenz! Combine strategic use of playing cards with tactical positioning of your playing pieces on the gameboard. Enjoy playing with a powerful deck of cards without spending "big bucks on boosters". Choose from four scheming factions, each with its own flavor and mechanics. Brawl with your friends in exciting team-battles, in battles royal, or during (un)Organized Play events at your local game shop! Existenz: On the Ruins of Chaos is a strategy card game in which epic battles are fought on a game board. The game is played by two or more people, each controlling a life base: your faction's floating bastion of power. Fighting off your opponents, you try to escape from the center of the boards towards the safety of the outer rim. You use energy crystals to fuel arcane technomantic rituals in order to protect your life base, or to obliterate your enemies. These rituals allow you to control creatures of tremendous power and create constructs of awe-inspiring size. The magic arsenal of cards in your deck allow you to manipulate the course of the game and deliver deadly combos.
