Description
Sylvion is a tower-defense type game in which attacks come down four rows and in waves. You build a deck using a unique drafting process and play cards from your hand by paying with other cards in your hand. You can play cards to the rows like fountains and trees or play animals for instant effects or to manipulate the enemy decks of cards. When all the waves have finished, you must have kept the heart of the Sylvion verdant, or else the whole forest of the Oniverse will be destroyed. This game can be played in an introductory style, advanced mode, and includes expansions and an appendix for further challenges and complexity. A TOWER-DEFENSE GAME IN THE ONIVERSE: The Ravage, a dreadful fire entity, has raised a blazing army of fire elementals to scorch the forest of the Oniverse. As the guardian of the forest, you must stop this incendiary threat. STRATEGY BOARD GAME: Sylvion is a unique take on tower-defense games. Waves of fire elementals make their way across the board, threatening the precious Edge cards on the other side. Counter threats by spending cards that offer a range of effects, from destroying fire elementals to being able to draw new cards. DEFEND THE FOREST: Summon fountains to form aquatic ramparts to extinguish the fearsome fire elementals and the forest’s inhabitants to your aid as the Ravage makes its way through the woods. HIGHLY VARIABLE: Over the course of several games, players will learn and master various card synergies and abilities. They then can tackle the expansions also included in Sylvion. Each expansion provides more cards and game dynamics. NUMBER OF PLAYERS AND AVERAGE PLAYTIME: This game is designed for 1 to 2 players and is suitable for ages 10 and older. Average playtime is approximately 30 minutes.
