you're right, it's buried under the avatar definition. you loose when the other player's avatar's time is reduced to zero. i will make this more clear.

an avatar is similar to an mtg commander or a one piece leader, and time = life/life points. max time varies by avatar.

as far as the large number of zones, it's similar to a more organized mtg board, where different card types are played in their own row instead of wherever.
