About the game

What you do in a play session

Prepare for galactic warfare in Space Lion: Divide and Conquer! In this competitive game, you'll take command of one of five asymmetric alien armies, each with its own unique strategies and objectives. The battlefield is on fire, and you need to be smart to emerge victorious. The key to the game lies in managing your hand of 7 cards. Each round, you'll position these cards across three distinct battlefronts, aiming to create powerful combos and outwit your opponents. You can't win every fight, so choosing which battles to prioritize and in what order to resolve them is crucial. Every decision impacts your units and the unfolding of other battles. The player with the highest strength on a lane wins, dealing damage to enemy bases. Destroy all opposing bases to secure victory! To make things even more interesting, each army comes with 7 unique heroes (the Lions) that can completely warp your strategy, adding an extra layer of depth and replayability. With a playtime of 30 to 60 minutes and ideal for 2 to 5 players, Space Lion is a great choice for those who enjoy card games with a sci-fi twist and variable player powers.
