To play a game of Planechase, each player needs his or her own planar deck, consisting of at least 10 different oversized cards.
Other than the above, the normal rules of the game are followed, and Planechase can be adapted to any multiplayer variant.
Four game packs were released on September 4, 2009: "Elemental Thunder", "Metallic Dreams", "Strike Force", and "Zombie Empire".
Each game pack comes with a 60-card preconstructed deck, 10 plane cards, a planar die, and multi-player rules.
Unlike the original Planechase release, these decks contain 21 new cards spread among them.
