Onefinity Rules

Table side choice

Contrary to many other wargames, Onefinity does not have deployment phase. Check the Table Generator to create and validate your own table or use this table example as a starting point.

Each player should chose an opposed side of the table; Do an opposed draw of 1 card - Draw off. If a 🃏 is drawn, discard it, then shuffle your discard pile back in your deck.
Highest wins and gets to chose their table side.
Other player automatically gets the opposite side.

No trooper is deployed on the table!
Troopers will enter the table from the Active player side when they get activated and enter play.

Warning

Troopers - unless stated otherwise - must always enter play from their player's table side

Info

Scenarios can provide start of game variations

Note on Jokers

Jokers are always considered a critical. But the game has not started yet, the goal is for players to retain them in their deck before the game actually starts.

Turns

After each player has chosen their side, do another opposed draw of 1 card. If a 🃏 is drawn, discard it, then shuffle your discard pile back in your deck.
Highest wins and becomes the Active player while the other player becomes the Reactive player.

The Active player draws 1 card. The value of the card is the number of action points the player can spend to activate their troopers. Again, if a 🃏 is drawn, discard it, then shuffle your discard pile back in your deck.

Actions points can be used on any active trooper in any order as the player sees fit.

Once the Active player has depleted his action points pool or decides to pass, it is now Reactive player turn to become active and draw for action points.

The game ends with the first player reaching the amount of victory points (VP) required by the scenario.

Note on Jokers during AP draw

Jokers don't have any value and are always considered a critical. That's why it doesn't make sense to consider it as other cards for Activation Points and should be discarded.

Troopers state and conditions

  • The reactive trooper is not downed.
  • The reactive trooper has a Special Skill, Weapon, or Equipment allowing it to react to enemy actions without LoF.
  • They are affected by a Radius Weapon - blast effect - or are the target of a Hacking attack

The possible reactive actions are the following:
