Lion Forge Entertainment has tapped Resurrection Games to launch board and card games for its superhero fantasy series Iyanu.
Resurrection Games will introduce Yorubaland: Wild Terrain, a family board game; Iyanu: Crossroads, a memory tile game for ages 4 to 9; and Iyanu: Mark of the Chosen, a card game for ages 6-plus.
In Yorubaland: Wild Terrain, teams compete in a tactical “Tiger Tag” game, with Team Chosen seeking the Source while Team Corrupt pursues them across a revealing landscape.
With Iyanu: Crossroads, players use unique character abilities to collect tokens and artifacts and race to be the first to gather seven.
Iyanu: Mark of the Chosen is a push-your-luck card game in which players draw from the Yoruba deck to master divine powers, collecting victory points over three rounds.
“The best projects start with a passionate, supportive community and a gameplay core that ties everything together,” said Brian Zander, president of Resurrection Games. “Whether it’s a unique mechanic, an engaging theme or character design, or a dynamic balance between strategy and luck, we focus on creating experiences that players and fans can’t stop talking about. For us, it’s all about finding the spark that makes a game unforgettable and building everything else around it.”
David Steward II, founder and CEO of Lion Forge Entertainment, said, “Partnering with Resurrection Games to bring Iyanu to tabletop games goes beyond simply watching the story unfold on screen–it provides a fresh and unique opportunity for fans to dive deep into the adventure themselves. Through these games, players can explore the rich cultural mythology and powerful themes of the series in a way that is both engaging and meaningful.”
