The Comprehensive Rules is the most complete document regarding the rules of Altered. It is the reference to follow for any game of Altered and Organized Play specifically.

While the Comprehensive Rules should help players and judges answer questions about the game, they are not meant to be read in their entirety and should not be used to learn the game either. If you mean to learn the rules of Altered, then we recommend you download the Quickrules for an easier and faster way into your first game.

We hope the Comprehensive Rules help you in the following months as the Altered community grows and start holding the first OP events and tournaments. We also hope it becomes a tool you can use to better understand the game, and help new players as they discover Altered.

In any competitive setting (Expeditions, tournaments, Tumult events), the Comprehensive Rules should be referred to when resolving complex cards interaction. When playing in a store event, it is up to the store to make sure that the players play with the most up-to-date rules. When playing in a tournament, it is the Tournament Organizer’s responsibility.

Stores and tournaments may call upon Judges to assist in some of their events organization and rule enforcement. If players should disagree on card interactions, it is then up to the event’s judges to decide, based on the Comprehensive Rules.

When not playing in a competitive setting, while Comprehensive Rules can be consulted and might help players in case of a disagreement, they are not required to play the game.

The Comprehensive Rules contents are detailed in the first few pages of the document to give you an overview of every topic and concepts used in the game to determine interactions.

The Glossary can also help you with a specific item of the game and give you the different sections of the Comprehensive Rules where you can find a rule relating to it.

This version 1.0 is the first version of the Comprehensive Rules for Altered. New editions of this document will be released on a regular basis to take into account any future changes regarding gameplay.

We’ll communicate everytime the Comprehensive Rules are updated and you will always be able to refer to the latest version on the How to play page of the Altered app or site.
