There are three types of Earth Tau cards, each with a different back to help you identify them.
1: LEADER cards represent who you are in the game with the other Players representing your Rival Leaders.
2: LOC cards represent where the trouble is and where your Teams need to be.
3: ASSET cards make up your Deck and represent the different Heroes, Villains, Gadgets, Events, and Professionals you can use to build your teams.
Skirmish is a quick game type and perfect introduction for Earth Tau™. Providing fast game times, and a more focused approach on single Location domination.
Skirmish rules allow for turn after turn Deployment in the same Location, unlike WAR.
You cannot legally deploy into Admin turn after turn, this rule also applies to War.
Use your deployment marker to track between Admin and Location deployment.
WAR is the original game type for Earth Tau™. Deeper and more varied combinations, strategies, and playstyles come together to create engaging and challenging gameplay.
WAR games are rich in watercooler moments that inspire additional replays. Multiple Locations create unique combo plays, challenging the ideas of a single dominate game META.
WAR rules do not allow for any turn after turn Deployment in the same Location or Admin, unlike Skirmish.
Use your deployment marker to track between Admin and multiple Location deployment.
