Harness the Fundamental Forces
of the Universe!
Of the 4 fundamental forces, Gravity is probably the most familiar to us. We encounter it every day, it holds us to our planet, but despite feeling quite powerful, it is actually the weakest force! Don't underestimate it, though...
In-game, Gravity pulls opponent cards into its hold. It takes a while to build up, but once it gets going, it is a force to be reckoned with!
Contrary to its name, the Weak Nuclear Force (“Atom” in Milestone) is actually quite strong. It only works across incredibly small distances (10-18 m), but it is this force that guides nuclear fusion, the process which powers the sun!
In-game, Atoms push opponent cards right off the field. Discard anything standing in your way!
The Electromagnetic Force (“Magnet” in Milestone) governs the behaviour of charged particles throughout the universe. If you zoom in on most physical phenomena – friction, collision, elasticity – you will find this force acting on a micro-scale.
In-game, Magnets push or pull other Magnets. Magnets won't be pulled into Gravity and make an excellent defense against it!
In-game, Void pulls your own cards into its hold. It builds quickly and can make for fast victories when used wisely!
Heat energy (“Thermal” in Milestone) is exchanged in chemical reactions and can be a product of physical interactions like friction. It is often understood as the measure of the average particle movement within a given system.
Using Thermal energy will burn (discard) individual cards or freeze (tap) stacks of cards.
Beyond force and matter, there exist certain energies in this universe. Energies flow in and out of interactions, and are bound by the dimensions in which they operate. Time, while not an energy, itself, is theorized to be one of these dimensions.
Manipulating time (“Temporal” in-game) will grant you additional actions on your turn, or remove actions from the opponent.
BUILD a deck. PLAN your synergies. OPTIMIZE each hand!
Every card has value in the right situation!
Will you control the field with Atom and Thermal, forcing opponent discards each turn? Or use their cards as fuel for your growing Gravity? Maybe sacrifice a Temporal early to build up Void, then set up a sneaky win with Magnet?
Luck may decide your hand, but only Strategy can decide the winner!
STRATEGIZE
To Achieve Victory!
The main gameplay of Milestone: Fundamental Forces takes place on the card field, but the real strategy often plays out on the Milestone Paths!
Block a path early and hold your ground, or recklessly chase down multiple Milestones at once! The choice is up to you, but be careful, the path to victory is rarely a straight line!

Open up an entirely different dimension of Strategy, Variety, and Replayability in Advanced Play. Here, Milestones are paired with game-changing Boons that can shift the tides of a match or secure a definitive lead!
Radioactive Decay
Atoms can now discard 2 opponent cards in 1 action.
Frostbite
If no opponent cards are frostbitten, the next one to act becomes so: Frostbitten cards are permanently tapped.
Refraction
Tap an Atom during your opponent’s turn to redirect their attack to a different target.
Lightning
Whenever there are at least 2 Magnets on your side, you may remove 1 card from the opponent’s field for free.
Particle Accelerator
For every 2 cards discarded from the opponent’s field this turn, gain 1 action point.
