Enter The Ultraverse
Enter the Ultraverse (EtU) is a deck building card game similar to Magic The Gathering and Hearthstone. The play style will be familiar to anyone who has played those games, but the EtU deck has a little special sauce in the mix with the inclusion of Weapon, Ship and Land tokens.
The assets will be on the Cardano blockchain and brought into the game via your Web3 wallet. Note that you won’t lose any assets through gameplay! If you don’t have any of those tokens you will still be able to play.

Deck Building
Players should select 2 factions (a primary and secondary) plus neutrals to build a deck.
30+ cards are recommended with a primary 15, secondary 10, neutral 5 split or similar.
Card Types are as follows:
- Creatures – These are the backbone of play and sit on the game board
- Spells – These enact with the game and can be very powerful
- Weapons – These allow the citizen to deal out Damage with limited Durability
- Support – These are usable as support for the cards in the match
Note – only 2 support cards can be active at one time. So if you have multiple support cards in your deck and 2 are active, the third would need to replace one of the active cards.
It is also possible to add a single Weapon card, plus a Ship and a Terraform (additional support cards).
| Deck Type | Primary | Secondary | Neutral | Weapon* | Ship | Land |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 15 | 10 | 5 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
* Weapon must be from the Primary faction unless you have “Quantum Wilds” which allows a Weapon from ANY faction
Card Levelling
Your cards can be levelled up by selecting a card and choosing the ‘Level Up’ button.
Each ‘level up’ will +1 to your card’s ‘Level’ metadata.
Your cards appearance will also change at certain levelling points, this begins at level 10.
Levelling Costs
Costs for levelling are ~2 ADA plus RAD tokens (and later resource tokens)
The itemized cost table for levelling cards can be found by clicking the small yellow ‘info’ icon.
Founder Card Discounts
The levelling costs will be reduced from the standard cost if you have a Founder’s Card:
– 25% for all 7 card colors
– 20% for Black or White cards
– 15% for Purple or Orange cards
– 10% for Red, Blue or Green cards
Benefits of Levelling Up
Card levelling should be considered as purely cosmetic. At various stages in the levelling process the card appearance will change, garnering increased market value.
