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.

Plant into three tracks, then watch them chain. A 26-step game takes six to ten minutes. Your opponent is the Neighbor next door — no waiting, no connection, no other people. HOW IT PLAYS Every action sweeps its track from right to left, firing each plant it passes. A longer row pays more, and a well-ordered one pays a lot more. That is engine-building: you are not playing cards, you are building a machine. WHAT IS IN IT • 80 real plant cards with scientific names, across six groups — succulents, rainforest foliage, epiphytic orchids, ferns, carnivores and herbs • 16 seasonal goals and 12 secret landscape contracts • Ten difficulty levels, from learning the rules up to a real fight • A daily challenge: one game a day, the same one for everyone, with a daily Game Center leaderboard • 19 achievements (nine of them difficulty challenges), best-score leaderboards for each difficulty band, and a full seven-row scoring breakdown • History: your last 50 games with a score trend, and any of them can be replayed with the same cards • iPhone Duo support, folded or open WHAT IT DOES NOT DO • No ads • No subscription, no gacha, no energy timers • No tracking, no data collection — it plays entirely offline; Game Center leaderboards are optional and off by default • One payment, once Three full games are free. One unlock opens the rest.
