Description Edit | History

X610Z: On the Ruins of Chaos is a living card and board game. In this game you control a brave band of survivors seeking refuge from the dangers of Mount Vargah. You achieve this by making your way towards the relative safety of a victory point, or by destroying your opponent in direct combat. Play your cards in order to gather resources, summon powerful allies, and cast dangerous fluxes or catalysts. However, you will suffer defeat if you run out of cards, so make sure you either defeat your opponents or reach the victory point before that happens.

The four ready-to-play decks included in the box represent the main factions in the world of X610Z. Each deck has its own unique corresponding playing style:

Arnunnian Alliance: masters of magic striking with lightning speed.
Undead Legion: zombie overlords threatening to overwhelm all.
Pirate Confederacy: cunning thieves looking for opportunity.
Red Barbarian Brotherhood: brutal and unrelenting force.

The box contains four ready-to-play decks, four sets of playing pieces, a rulebook, a quick reference rules sheet, and a game board presenting a map of the world to track your adventures.

X610Z: On the Ruins of Chaos can be played by 2 to 4 players in various challenging ways. Look for future themed expansions decks adding even more ways to play, up to 6 players.

X610Z: On the Ruins of Chaos is a stand-alone version of the X610Z collectible card game and offers a selection of cards from Act I: The New Era, Act II: Spoils of War and new cards designed for ExistenZ: On the Ruins of Chaos.

The Story...

Arnunnian librarians tell of an ancient time when forgotten science and technological wonder ruled the minds of man. Their unrelenting quest for progress eventually became their own undoing. A dangerous experiment involving unstable component X-6-10-Z resulted in the Chaos virus, causing strange mutations and destroying most forms of technology. Within a few years, the virus had plummeted the world into a new dark age.

Letter of Muljanii, high magistrate of the Arnunnian Alliance:
Centuries have passed, this is the New Era. We rebuilt civilization on the ruins of Chaos. However, our constant struggle for survival and precious energy crystals soon divided us into factions. This conflict was centered on the slopes of Mount Vargah, prime harvesting ground of magical resources. To our surprise and dismay, this hostile volcanic land has now exploded in protest. Furious lava creatures rise from the molten stone to fight each faction, forcing them to flee and seek refuge in their homelands beyond the outer regions.

During the Great Flight, old feuds are settled between the factions...
The Arnunnian Alliance has mastered magic and strikes with lightning speed; the Red Barbarian Brotherhood pursues with brutal and unrelenting force; the Pirate Confederacy cunningly sneaks past their opponents, while the Undead Legion’s growing numbers threaten to overwhelm all that stand in their way.

We have to reach safety, or die trying.

- Muljanii, high magistrate of the Arnunnian Alliance -

Description of the four faction decks

Arnunnian Alliance:
As a proud Sky Captain of the Arnunnian Alliance, your superior knowledge of magic enables you to outrun enemies and counter any attack. Nothing will block your path to victory as you use powerful fluxes to deny your opponent any hope of winning this battle. Are you up for glory?

Undead Legion:
As a sinister Mystagogue to the King of the Undead, you recruit minions from the graves of the battlefield using necrotic energy. The stench of rotting flesh preceding your troops is a warning to all that lack the courage and stomach to face the horrors that you have unleashed. To you, each casualty is a reinforcement. Dig it?

Pirate Confederacy:
As a cunning Pirate Prince of the Confederacy, you are a master of manipulation. Using stealth and deception, you surprise your enemy at every turn. By stealing from your enemies, and using their resources against them, you keep the opponent occupied while you escape to victory. Pirates make their own rules...savvy?

Red Barbarian Brotherhood:
As a brutish Red Barbarian warlord you lead a brotherhood of battle-hardened madmen and fierce monstrous creatures. You invoke scorching fluxes to incinerate all that would bring you dishonor, while your berserkers set themselves aflame with rage and fire. Can you stand the heat?
