About the game
Embark on a journey through time to conquer immortality! In this thrilling deckbuilding game, become a time traveler in search of the enigmatic Eternitium, a precious gem that grants eternal life hidden in a distant era. Showcase your ingenuity and clever tactics to outpace your rivals in this captivating temporal race. Your quest for eternity begins now! Use the various portals you can create to search for the gem. A mad race begins between the different time travellers. Use technology to help you find the gem more quickly, gather information or waste the time of other players! No holds barred, only one thing matters: being the first to get your hands on the Eternitium gem! One after another, players will play Technology cards to discard as many Era cards as possible. Players will be able to acquire more powerful technologies from the market. Be careful, building these will cause you to lose time by adding Era cards. These technologies will help you to have more prolific turns or to put obstacles in the way of your opponents. The first player to discard all his Era cards and find the gem wins the game. —description from the publisher

Questions and answers
Eternitium supports 1–5 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Eternitium is 15–30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Eternitium for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Eternitium has a complexity rating of 1.7 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game.
