3 - Play area and setup

Below is the recommended layout for your side of the board during a game of Voidream. Feel free to tweak it in a way that's comfortable to you, as long as the layout is clear to your opponent and the same play areas are represented.

In particular, some decks care about the cards in the discard pile and Void. Since these are unordered piles, players are encouraged to arrange or split them in any way that makes sense to them, as long as it's clear to both players where the cards belong.


To set up for the game:

  • Show your opponent your bastion and mind cards. Then resolve any "At the start of the game" instructions printed on the back of your bastion.
  • Shuffle your dream deck, without the bastion card. Make sure to offer your opponent a cut, which must be performed.
  • Place your bastion card under the deck, the side with the bastion name face up.
  • Set up your mind card in its board position, and draw your hand of arcana.
