Rally your loyal robot squad against the sabotage of the Evil Cogs, manage your dwindling hand of cards to patch failing machinery, and race against the clock to save the dream-world factory.
Cyberion (designed by Shadi Torbey, illustrated by Elisa McCausland, and published by Z-Man Games) is a tense, tactical card game set in the acclaimed Oniverse universe (Onirim, Sylvion, Castellion). Set within the automated factory at the heart of the world of dreams, players face an impending catastrophe as Evil Cogs sabotage the main mainframe. The primary gameplay objective centers on cooperative or solo hand management and puzzle resolution: players must wisely allocate their robot cards either to repair damaged machine cards or to trigger powerful special abilities, racing to restore the factory before all failsafes collapse.
The primary mechanical hurdle stems from balancing hand efficiency against escalating repair difficulty. As the game progresses, machines become increasingly complex to fix, demanding precise numerical combinations and suit matching. However, players can unlock modular expansions included right in the box—such as unstable energy sources and sabotage modules—to scale the challenge and deepen the tactical depth. Designed for 1 to 2 players aged 10 and up, a complete crisis resolution plays out in a brisk 15 to 30 minutes. To save the dream factory from total implosion, you must optimize every robot card in your hand, survive the chaotic cog attacks, and complete all critical repairs just in the nick of time.
