== Core Mechanisms ==
* '''Time Manipulation:''' Abilities to alter the timeline, retrieve cards from the discard pile, or affect opponents' turns.
* '''Splicing:''' Placing cards in a chronological sequence to trigger powerful chain reactions.
* '''Paradox Management:''' Balancing powerful artifacts with the risk of timeline instability (avoiding penalties).

== Card Abilities by Era ==
Each era focuses on a specific strategic advantage triggered upon play:

* '''Ancient (Blue) – Stability:'''
** ''Protection:'' Prevents opponents from messing with your timeline.
** ''Archive:'' Allows you to save hand cards for future rounds.
* '''Medieval (Green) – Resources:'''
** ''Harvest:'' Generates extra energy or allows free card draws.
** ''Alliance:'' Copies the effect of another green card already in your timeline.
* '''Industrial (Red) – Expansion:'''
** ''Steam:'' Grants a 3rd action for your next turn but often generates a Paradox.
** ''Production:'' Converts low-value artifacts into victory points.
* '''Future (Yellow) – Manipulation:'''
** ''Time Warp:'' Look at and reorder the top cards of the deck.
** ''Replication:'' Play a card directly from the discard pile.

== Turn Structure ==
You have **2 actions** per turn. You may perform the same action twice:

# '''Explore:''' Draw 2 cards (deck or market). Keep one, discard the other.
# '''Splicing (Play):''' Place an artifact into your timeline.
#* Check '''Requirements''' (energy cost or discarding cards).
#* Trigger: Check if icons on the new card activate abilities of existing cards.
# '''Stabilize:''' Discard 2 hand cards to remove one Paradox marker.
# '''Activate:''' Use a "once per turn" ability of a card already in your timeline.

== Paradoxes & Risks ==
* A '''Paradox''' is triggered by specific card effects or high-instability combos.
* '''Penalty:''' The slot is blocked. Each remaining Paradox at the end of the game is '''-3 points'''.

== End of Game & Scoring ==
Triggered when the deck is empty or a player fills their timeline (8-10 cards).
* '''Points:''' Sum of all values on artifact cards.
* '''Set Bonus:''' Extra points for each complete set of 4 different eras (+5 points).
* '''Deductions:''' Subtract points for remaining Paradox markers and unpaid time costs.
