Players in Aeons End are not removed from the game if their life is reduced to 0. Rater they enter an exhausted state where they continue fighting, but with disadvantages.
Immediate Effects[]
If a player's life is reduced to zero, that player is exhausted. Resolve the following effects in order.
- Resolve the nemesis's Unleash effect twice.
- The exhausted player destroys one of their breaches, discarding any spells prepped in that breach. Destroyed breaches can be returned to the box - there is no way to regain a destroyed breach. The remaining breaches stay in their current positions.
- The exhausted player discards all of their charge tokens.
Playing as Exhausted[]
The exhausted player continues to participate in the game as usual with the following exceptions:
- The exhausted players cannot gain life.
- When a card deals damage to the player with the lowest life, it always deals that damage to the non-exhausted player with the lowest current life.
- When an exhausted player suffers damage, instead deal twice that amount of damage to Gravehold. This includes excess damage when a player initially becomes exhausted.
If all players become exhausted, the game ends immediately and the players lose. If playing a solo mage game, the game continues after the player is exhausted, and only when Gravehold is reduced to 0 life does the player lose.
