Full disclosure: I'm not actually going to back the game. I'm really only interested in the digital version, and the devs have been really fuzzy about what exactly the future holds in that regard. I have no idea what will happen after Altered leaves BGA, but if the devs come forward with a concrete plan about an official digital product, I'll back it in a heartbeat because the game is really cool, breathing a ton of fresh ideas into the TCG genre.
I forgot to mention a key rule, which is that players can hold only 2 cards in their Reserve. If they have 3 or more cards in Reserve at the end of the round, they have to discard down to 2. If I made any other omissions, please let me know in the comments!

About Altered, from BoardGameGeek:
Altered is an innovative TCG which offers a new, refreshing approach to both competitive and casual players. Set in a universe of rich lore and visual design (influenced by Miyazaki's work and Dixit-like illustrations), this game is about exploring a new, reshaped Earth after a mysterious event, the Confluence, profoundly altered it.
Shape your own adventure, choose a faction and lead your expeditions through an ever-changing world. Be the first to discover what the universe of Altered has in store for you!
What really lies at the heart of this revolution is a ton of expertly tailored details - a new rarity system, deep evolving lore, innovative game mechanisms and design - and a phygital experience that comes along with its myriad of life-quality improvements, both for the players, tournaments organizers and store owners alike.
Born and led from the mind of talented game designer Régis Bonnessée (founder of the Libellud studio, which published Dixit, Mysterium, Dice Forge, and Seasons), this project is brought to you by the French studio Equinox, based in Paris, in partnership with and exclusively distributed by Asmodee.
