A game of "Alteil" usually lasts between fifteen and twenty minutes. Since the internet allows players to use virtual gameplay techniques, players are able to do things which they couldn't do using physical cards. For instance, players can have the same card from their deck in multiple files (files are groupings of cards that are used in a match). Players in the game are referred to as nihongo|Iczers|イクサー|Ikusā.
Cards
The cards are separated into four element like groups called Spheres of Influence. These spheres are individually called: nihongo|Refess|リフェス|Rifesu, nihongo|Lawtia|ローティア|Rōtia, nihongo|Gowen|ゴウエン|Gouen, and nihongo|Falkow|ファルカウ|Farukau. Cards of a sphere typically have similar strengths and weaknesses.
