Welcome to Neolysium the strategy card game for building a better world. Each hand is a new challenge to create a thriving environment that generates abundant energy. The game will test your decision making skills and strategic creativity while promoting a positive non-violent gameplay suitable for all ages. The game has no ads, does not collect any personal information, and is built solely for your enjoyment. How to play You start the game with 4 cards in hand and 10 spaces to play cards. Each turn you will draw a card from the deck and choose to either play a card to build your environment or discard. The objective is to maximize the amount of energy your environment produces. The game is over when you have used all of your playable spaces or your deck has run out of cards. Cards have attributes that can produce energy, create play spaces, add more cards to your deck, and other abilities to be discovered. Certain cards require other cards to be played first so having an understanding of your deck is important for developing an effective strategy. Every turn is a critical decision in managing spaces, card count, and energy output.
