Board Game Geek Reviews


  1. 8 out of 10

    Very simple but rewarding good planning, good replayability due to expansions included, the board made of cards is a bit fiddly and takes up a lot of space.

  2. 6.5 out of 10

    Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but this game seems impossible to win. Also, for a single player game this takes up a huge amount of space. I enjoy Onirim and Aerion. This one just fell short for me due to the difficulty.

  3. 4 out of 10

    I suppose it should have been obvious. I dislike many co-operative games because they seem too much like us against the system puzzles. I dislike many cube pushers for their solitaire-ish feel. It was kind of inevitable that I wouldn't enjoy a game like Sylvion, designed for solo play. Sylvion appears a well designed game. As in a good coop, the system ratchets up the pressure as the game progresses. There are also options to adjust the level of difficulty. Thematically, the struggle of fire versus the forest and its wildlife works. I just feel no desire to play it again. The childlike and surreal character of the artwork is appealing. Production quality is good, although, as others have commented, the box insert favours style over function. The rules are clear and an easy read.

The mad Fire Elemental lord is out to burn down the dream forest. Attacking in waves using Fire Elementals, your only defense are trees and fountains and those animals brave enough to offer aid before scurrying away to safety. Using a unique drafting system and combining it with a tower defense game, will you be able to keep your forest green?

Sylvion is a tower-defense type game in which attacks come down four rows and in waves. You build a deck using a unique drafting process and play cards from your hand by paying with other cards in your hand. You can play cards to the rows like fountains and trees or play animals for instant effects or to manipulate the enemy decks of cards. When all the waves have finished, you must have kept the heart of the Sylvion verdant, or else the whole forest of the Oniverse will be destroyed.

This game can be played in an introductory style, advanced mode, and includes two expansions and an appendix for further challenges and complexity.
