Board of the game

Each player’s board consists of several zones, as illustrated above.

• Abyss zone is where cards that have been dissolved are placed.
• Burn zone is where cards that have been burnt are placed.
• Commandant zone is where player's commandant is placed face up at the start of the game.
• Construct zone is where constructs are placed face down when they are played. Only one construct can be placed in each zone. Constructs do not change their zones when they are built.
• Deck zone is where player's deck stays face down unless it is shuffled or cut.
• Discard zone is where cards that have been destroyed are placed.
• Unit zone is where units are placed face up when they are summoned. Only one unit can be placed in each zone.

Commandant, construct and unit zones make up the player's arena.

If there is a card in the unit zone directly above a card in commandant or construct zone, that second card is considered covered. (Covered cards cannot be targeted by enemy attacks and other effects.)
