GAMEPLAY OVERVIEW
Area Majority/Influence || Hand Management || Set Collection || Open Drafting
What was once a small rag-tag mining colony, Shadow Moon has grown to become the greatest trading hub of the outer sector. But beneath the thin veneer of legitimacy, lies a plague of desperate, corrupt, and highly motivated criminal syndicates. Here, success is for the sinful, and fortunes are won through daring heists and ruthless raids. Rub shoulders with the street thugs, corporate operatives, and two-faced humanitarians as you build your syndicate from the underbelly of society, to establish your influence over Shadow Moon.
In Shadow Moon Syndicates, 2-5 players take on the role of a syndicate crime boss. Over 3 rounds, players will utilize their hand of cards to nefariously influence regions of the Shadow Moon, carry out high-stakes criminal operations, and assemble their specialists for the game’s finale. How players manage their cards is the key to placing influence in the most effective way to gain lucrative credits, complete missions, and overcome their rivals for ascendancy. The player who accumulates the most credits by the game's end is deemed the winner.
Will you be the one to rise above the rest, turning sin into success, to become the Sovereign of Shadow Moon?
