HUNT FOR GLORY. Ivion is quick, strategic, and brutal. Welcome to the most intense and rewarding battle card game experience on the market.

Help make all three Make-A-Trait finalists a reality by pledging to reach our $40,000 stretch goal!

Thanks for joining us on our Monday stream, which ended with an electrifying and unexpected finish! We recommend checking it out if you'd like to learn what Ivion is, how to play, and what its components look like.

• Want to give one of the duel decks a whirl? Here's the Print and Play cards.

Check out the streams we've ran so far during the campaign! In these streams, we play through the duel decks provided in (so far) the Knight and the Lady and the Hound and the Hare products, explaining the game, what it is, and how it works as we go. There's also some technical issues and general tomfoolery, so bear with us, and thanks for watching!

Why Kickstarter? We're not a big company that can get to retail without your support. We need excited backers like you to make Ivion a reality, and we'd like nothing more than to get our project into your hands so you can enjoy playing it as much as we do. Please consider pitching in now rather than later—it truly will bring the game to life.

Why no Stretch Goals? Ivion is a massive project for our team's size and resources. From the countless number of design iterations to the hundreds of illustrations that give it color, it takes a great deal of time and money to complete. We want to bring as much high-quality Ivion content to your table as we can, and we can spend more energy doing that if we aren't focused on superfluous upgrades. Instead, we imbued these boxes with beauty and functionality before Kickstarter—this is the best we currently have to offer, and we hope it has piqued your interest!

Thank you for considering backing our love letter to gaming. Please consider engaging with us in the comments, telling your friends about Ivion, or backing the project! We wouldn't be here without you, and we are humbled by the support of this amazing community.
