Welcome to Shoulder of Orion, a one-on-one print-and-play card game.
Will you sign up with the Union Marine Corps and defend humanity (and the Company's perfidium mining interests)? Or will you defend your home and devour their biomass as the Swarm? Perhaps you've returned as Prophets of the dark void, hell-bent on spreading the chilling embrace of the Exomessiah. Or perhaps you will become the Recursion, robot warriors from the wartorn future, here to free the replicants from future subjugation. Choose wisely, and fight for the future of the Orion Nebula!
Each faction comes with a multitude of subclasses and iconic characters that define your deck - build your army the way you want to play. Incubate a horde of spiderlings as Mother Aranea, or field giant mechs as Knight Apollo. Hybrid characters bridge the divide between factions, making deckbuilding fun and flavourful.
As the war continues, the factions of Orion discover new technologies - spend energy to increase your tech level, giving you access to powerful cards.
Create bunkers and strongholds with far-reaching effects and defend them from enemy attacks. But be careful - if you let your opponent build their citadel unopposed, they will destroy you.
Build up an army with unique abilities and synergies to protect your fortifications and destroy your enemies. From robots to demons and alien wasps, there are a variety of units to choose from.
Prepare cards face down in orbit to counter your enemies plans, or bait out their counters prematurely to ensure your victory.
Enjoy an accessible & expandable card game made by a community of competitive players and deckbuilders alike.
