Category: Expansion for wallet game

The suns of Malvios are dying. Across the planet, survivors race to glean what hope for the future they can find in the failing light. Pooling their resources, experts from all walks of life converge to find the best path forward – and the team they’ll need to follow it.

Converge is one of our most ambitious games yet. Set in a sci-fi world on the brink of destruction, players race to fulfill shared goals by recruiting team members to their faction, all while managing the mysterious artifact that may just hold the key to success. 

Designed by Peter C. Hayward (That Time You Killed Me, Village Pillage) and beautifully illustrated by Steven De Waele, Converge uses a single shared ruleset across multiple 18-card wallets. Each set can be played by itself as a standalone game or mixed with the others to create new combinations of 18-card playsets. 

Whether you want a grab-and-play experience or the opportunity for near-endless variation, Converge offers something for everyone.

Converge: Aspects of Vision solo expansion works with any combination of factions. With only 5 turns to play, it’s a race to achieve goals and earn stars before time runs out! On every turn, one of the opponent’s cards will be revealed, serving as both one of their faction members and a shared goal. Play 2 cards each turn to counter their steady advance to victory.  

Each of the solo cards features an ability on one side and a goal on the other. At the start of the game, pair 3 ability cards with 3 face-up goals. You may use the ability at any time as one of your actions, or complete the paired goal to gain the ability to use as an additional action when you complete the paired goal, giving you an extra chance to turn the tides in your favor. By managing the artifact and shrewdly using your abilities, you might just save the day.

Samuel ★★★★★

I expected solo play to feel tacked on, but the experts-from-all-walks-of-life angle actually makes the resource pooling a real puzzle instead of a watered-down version of the multiplayer game. Losing the other players' banter stings a little, yet the dying-sun tension carries it fine on its own.

Matthew ★★★★★

The shift to playing solo didn’t feel like a compromise at all—the dying suns theme actually lands harder when it’s just you racing to gather hope alone. Setup and teardown are quick enough that I’ve already gotten in three games tonight, and each one’s puzzle of pooling survivors feels fresh.

Chloe B. ★★★★★

I was skeptical about a solo expansion for a wallet game, but the thematic race to gather hope as the suns die gives each round real urgency. Setup takes under a minute, and the AI opponent's decisions are varied enough that I've already played it five times this week.
