Shadow Moon Syndicates

About this board game

Shadow Moon Syndicates is a strategy card game for 2–5 players, with games lasting about 90 minutes. Across three rounds, each player becomes a crime boss competing to build a powerful syndicate and claim ascendancy over Shadow Moon.

Once a small mining colony, Shadow Moon has become the outer sector’s greatest trading hub. Beneath its respectable surface, desperate criminal syndicates pursue fortunes through daring heists, ruthless raids, and carefully managed influence.

Players use their hands of cards to nefariously influence the regions of Shadow Moon. Effective card management is central to success, helping players gain lucrative credits, complete missions, and overcome their rivals.

• Play as a criminal syndicate boss in a corrupt trading hub.
• Use cards to place influence across Shadow Moon’s regions.
• Carry out high-stakes criminal operations and complete missions.
• Assemble specialists for the game’s finale.
• Compete to accumulate the most credits by the end of the game.

The city’s underworld includes street thugs, corporate operatives, and two-faced humanitarians, creating a setting where legitimacy is only a thin veneer. Every decision helps shape your rise from the underbelly of society toward greater influence.

In Shadow Moon Syndicates, success belongs to the player who turns careful planning and criminal ambition into the greatest fortune. Will your syndicate become the Sovereign of Shadow Moon?
