Story so far...
Centuries ago (an alien race) placed an alien agent on the edge of the universe in a Solar
System known as Aether. There were 6 factions known as Terra, Ignis, Anima, Adaquo,
Vitreus and Metallum. The alien agent is under orders to disrupt the peace for each of the
factions and convert the population to its own species. The alien agent has been waiting
patiently for a temporal rift to begin his mission. A temporal rift occurs once every
thousand years, distorting the fabric of all things and acting as the catalyst the alien agent was
waiting for to start the conversion.
Exordium
Quite a few games have the same concept of working against other players to win the game.
Temporal Rift is not that type of game. Instead, players are encouraged to work together in
order to stop the alien invasion that is occurring.
Sounds easy enough right? I mean a handful of players working together to beat the game
should be a piece of cake. Well, it’s not as easy as it might sound, as there is a possibility that
one of the players will be working against you in order to make sure the alien invasion
succeeds. This player will work in secret to try and thwart your every attempt at victory.

Taking a look at
The key components
The game contains many different elements and components. We suggest you give the
following brief explanations to your group as you set up the game, or review them for new
players before starting:
Cards
There are five major category of cards in Temporal Rift:
The Disaster cards, are drawn once per turn and represent a natural
disaster that threatens all players. Players have a choice at this point.
They can work together to avert the disaster or allow it to happen.
Note: Not all disaster cards have the same repercussions or rewards,
read the disaster description carefully.
The Mission cards, will be handed out at the beginning of the
Game, these will determine how you intend on closing the rift.
The Resource cards, are broken up by which faction they are
connected to. Each faction has 10 of their designated resource.

6
The Defense Cards, Each player is given one Defense Card at the
beginning of the game and may choose to use it during their turn if
an alien conversion occurs on their planet.
The Faction Cards, represents what faction you belong to and where
your starting position will be.
Special card instructions
Defense Cards-
A player is attacked by aliens when the team fails to avert the current round’s disaster. The
planet with the disaster will be attacked by the aliens. When a player is attacked by aliens,
there is an opportunity to use a Defense Card. The player must have the required number of
resources and population to use the Defense Card.
Alien mission card- This card is different from other mission cards. If
a player draws this card, their mission will be to try and convert the
majority of the other planets’ population to aliens.
Tokens

7
There are three types of tokens in Temporal Rift
Population Tokens are represented by the color white and are divided up equally
between your factions, with each faction receiving 20. These are essentially your life
points for the game and should be treated as such. These can replenish by successfully
averting certain disasters.
Alien Tokens are represented by the color blue and are located inside the rift and
represent the alien invasions force. There are 120 tokens total and unlike the
population tokens these do not replenish.
Player Tokens are represented by different colored pawns for each of the six factions. Players
will use these to move around the board.

8
Object of the Game
In Temporal Rift, you and your friends are the leaders of their own factions who must stop an
Alien Invasion from happening by closing the rift that occurred in space. Your Victory hinges
on the successful completion of averting the Disasters and completing your missions.
Each Disaster offers its own challenge, with rewards for the victorious and consequences for
the defeated. An averted disaster usually grants the victorious with a replenishment of
population. In Defeat the population will be converted.
The game ends prematurely if the faction leaders cannot prevent the aliens from doing the
following.
a. Total Population reaches zero
Otherwise the game ends after one of the players successfully completes their mission to
close the rift.
NOTE:
If there is an Alien Agent, they win if they complete their mission before the other
players.

9
Game Setup
To start, place the game board ¹ for Temporal Rift in the center of the table. Place 20 Civilian
Tokens ² on each of the designated faction spaces. There should be a total of 120 population.
Next, place the Disaster Cards ³ on the space provided. These should be shuffled and placed
face down. Shuffle each of the resource card decks and place them in their designated spaces ⁴.
Place the 120 Alien Tokens ⁵ inside the Rift, located at the center of the board.
Shuffle and deal one Faction Card ⁶ to each player. Place your Faction card face up in front of
you. This card will tell you where you will place your starting piece. Next you will place your
player piece on the designated faction ⁷ according to your faction card.
Shuffle and deal one Mission Card ⁸ to each player. Look at your mission card but do not
show it to anyone else. This card tells you what you must do to beat the game and should be
kept secret from all other players until the end. Place this card face down next to your faction
card. Every player should also be given a defense card ⁹ before the game starts. This card can
be placed face up or face down.
Note: Any unused mission cards are to be placed back in the box face down without
being looked at. Deal out one Defense Card to each player. Place this card face up
below your faction card. This card can be used only at specific times in the game.
Important Note: All resource cards played during the course of the game must be placed in
the Resource Check Space face down and should not be looked at until the end of the round.
The cards are then recycled back into the resource decks and shuffled once more.

11
Game Turn
Order of Play
In most board games the order of play is clockwise. Temporal Rift has the order of play
moving counterclockwise in successive turns until:
The game is lost prematurely
Or…
A player completes the mission they have been tasked with.
In Temporal Rift the youngest player will go first. Followed by the player next to him/her
counterclockwise.
Beginning the Game
Before the new leaders of the systems alliance venture forth, they should discuss how disaster
rewards will be distributed amongst themselves.
Rounds
Temporal Rift is played over a number of turns each round. Starting with the first player and
proceeding counterclockwise, players take complete turns in order until either the human or
alien players have won the game. Each turn consists of the following steps, carried out in
order:
1. Disaster Step - First player will draw a disaster card at the beginning of each round and
read it out loud for all players to hear. (See “completing a disaster” page 5)
2. Collection step - Players will collect one card from the resource of the faction they
currently occupy. (See “Collection Step” page 14)

12
3. Resource check step - Players may then add a resource to the resource check pile if
they wish. (See “Checking your resources on page 6)
4. Activating Defense Card (If Necessary) - If the player is able to, they may activate
their defense card. (see “Defense Cards” on page 6)
5. Movement Step - Players will then choose whether they wish to travel to another
faction or stay at the one they currently occupy. (see “Traveling” on page 15)
After the movement step, the current player’s turn is over. They then hand the current
player token counterclockwise to the player on their right. This player then begins their turn
starting with the collection step.
Game Turn Detail
Disaster Step
At the beginning of each turn the first player will draw a disaster card. This disaster will be
read to all the players. At the end of the round the players will check whether they have
successfully averted the disaster or not.
Note: this step only occurs after the first initial round is completed.
The invasion process
Failing to avert the disaster can sometimes lead to your population being converted over to
the aliens. If this occurs too often it could lead to complete annihilation.
However…
If the players are able to successfully avert the disaster Most of the Disaster Cards will replenish
a portion of your total population when you avert them. This only works if the players

13
successfully avert the disaster. The players are then granted a number of population which
can be given to a single player or split up between multiple players. The players must decide
among each other who is in need of the population.
Note: This effect does not stack. If no player has need for a replenishment of
population, the population bonus disappears.
Collection Step
During this step the current player will draw a resource card according to the faction they are
currently occupying at that time. The player always draws a resource card from the current
faction regardless of the number of cards already in their hand.
Example: Player 3 is currently occupying the faction Terra. Player 3 draws a resource
card from the terra resource pile.
Resource Check Step
When a disaster card is played the players are given objectives that they can try to complete in
order to aver the disaster. If a player chooses to help out with averting the disaster they will
place their selected resource card face down in the resource check space. (See Resource Checks
on page 16 for further information.)
Activating a Defense card Step
When the players’ population has been converted over to aliens, players have the option of
using the defense card. To activate a defense card the player must have and discard:
5 FOOD
8 FUEL
7 METAL
Activating the defense card will convert 5 population back to normal.
Movement Step

14
During this step Players are able to move freely between factions so long as they follow the
designated travel paths. However you may only move to one faction per turn.
Core Rules
Factions
Each player will draw a faction card at the beginning of the game to determine which faction
and resource they start with.
The factions of the systems alliance are:
The Terra are a faction that worship earth as the mother of all creation. Their home planet is
covered with forests and lush vegetation. They pull their main resource of Wood from the
dense forests.
The Ignis are a faction who worship fire as the purging fire. Their home planet is mostly
covered in fire and lava. The main resource is food and comes from the volcanic ash and the
creatures that dwell there.
The Anima are a faction who worship wind as the bringer of change. Their planet is a dusty
ball of gas. They use the wind to funnel the gases into fuel.
The Adaquo are a faction who worship water as the bringer of life. Since the planet is mostly
covered by water, the main resource is purified water.
The Virteus are a faction who worship crystal as the Healer of life. Their planet is covered in
crystals of different shapes and hue. Many crystals form this planet, but their primary
resource is diamonds.
The Metallum are a faction who worship metal as the protector of all. Their home planet is
covered in mountains rich with ore. Their main resource is adamantium and it comes from
mines deep within the mountains.

15
Occupying a faction
Only 1 player can occupy a faction at a time. In addition, players can only stay at that faction
for a maximum of 2 turns. This is regulated by the players in the game.
Note: If all the factions are currently occupied, a player may stop in between planets
for one turn. The player will not receive any resources when doing this.
Resource cards
When a player uses a resource card they must use the total amount of resource represented by
that card.
Example: A player has a card representing 5 metal. They cannot use 3 of that metal
towards something, they must use all 5.
Missions
When a player receives their mission card at the beginning of the game they are prohibited
from revealing any information on that card. They must place the card face down in front of
them so other players cannot see what is on it. There are two reasons for this restriction.
1. One of the missions is that of the alien agent. If everyone knew who was working
against them; it would be a short lived conspiracy.
2. One of the possibilities when drawing mission cards face down is not having the agent
in play at all. This allows a bit of tension to brew between the alliance leaders. This
creates a sense of purpose when deciding which direction you will go.
Note: If this is the first time playing temporal rift you may want to play the
game once with the mission cards face up and with no agent to help familiarize
yourself with the mechanics.

16
Standard Mission Objectives
For the Human players to win the game they must successfully complete their objective
located on the mission card in order to close the rift.
Alien Mission Objective
For the Alien player to win the game they must successfully complete their objective located
on the mission card in order to make sure the invasion succeeds.
Component Limitations
Temporal Rift has a limited number of Resource cards that may run out over time. To limit
this after each resource card is used they get recycled back into the decks which are than
shuffled.
Note: if the disaster cards are to run out before the end of the game the current player
shuffles the discard pile to form a new deck.
Secrecy
A key element of Temporal Rift is the paranoia and tension surrounding the hidden alien
agent. Because of this, secrecy is very important, and the following rules must be observed at
all times:
Blind Accusations
Players may accuse each other of being the alien agent at any time. Although these
accusations have no game rule effects, they can help or confuse other players into not
trusting one another.
Resource Checks

17
Players are prohibited from revealing the exact number of resources they have. They may use
vague terms such as “I may be able to help a little with this disaster” but they may not use
more specific statements such as “I have 3 Wood resources I can use” In addition after the
resource check is completed players may not identify which cards they used.
Player strategy
The ultimate goal for players is to conserve enough resources to complete their missions.
The side goal for players is to use those resources to avert the disaster that come into play.
On the players Turn
Three things need to be taken into account during the players turn.
1. The player’s resources and the possible resources of other players are paramount!
2. Players would do well to keep their civilian population, their allies’ population, and
the alien population in mind.
3. Players should try to discern who the agent is, if there is one at all.
On the alien players turn
If you are playing as the Alien Agent than there are two things you should keep in mind
during your turn.
1. What resources the other players could be holding and how to sabotage their
attempts at averting the current rounds disaster.
2. Try to throw suspicion off of yourself if you are suspected of being the alien agent.
