Read the full game description
Ivion is an expandable head-to-head card combat system in which a deck represents a custom fantasy hero. Players combine classes, a specialization, and feats, then spend actions and generated power to attack, defend, move, and reshape the tactical grid. Range, facing, terrain, interrupts, and status effects turn each hand into a positional puzzle rather than a simple damage race. Standalone English sets include two ready-to-play heroes and can be mixed with other Ivion boxes for broader deck construction and multiplayer team formats.
