About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready to don your Bronze Cloth and fight alongside Seiya and his friends in Saint Seiya: Deckbuilding! In this card game, you and up to four other friends dive headfirst into the classic Knights of the Zodiac saga, where the Goddess Athena is in danger and the Grand Pope (the Pope, for close friends) is plotting his schemes. The mission is clear: the five Bronze Knights – Seiya, Shiryu, Hyoga, Shun, and Ikki – must race against time to stop the threat before the last flame of the Fire Clock goes out. Each player takes on the role of one of these iconic heroes, with their own powers and strategies. Throughout the game, you'll build your deck, recruiting other Knights to your cause or facing them in epic combat. Use the powerful effects of the cards to assemble the most formidable team and accumulate victory points. When the twelve flames of the clock extinguish, the Knight with the most victory points will be crowned Athena's savior. It's a race against time full of strategy, combat, and, of course, a lot of cosmo!
