    Outwit Rivals and Seize Control of the Galaxy's Most Notorious Underworld in a Thrilling Board Game of Strategy and Crime, Designed by J. Carmichael!
    Step into the world of Shadow Moon Syndicates, designed by J. Carmichael and developed by S.J. Macdonald, where cunning moves and your influence are your keys to power. In Shadow Moon Syndicates, players step into the role of crime bosses, navigating a world of high-stakes heists and strategic power plays. Set in the notorious Shadow Moon, once a humble mining colony and now the largest trading hub in the outer sector, the game plunges you into an underworld rife with corruption. There, players compete to control the criminal underbelly of this thriving hub. With a mix of cunning card play and strategic decision-making, you'll vie for influence, outmaneuvering rivals to complete daring operations and amass credits. Over four rounds, 2-5 players use their cards to influence regions, execute missions, and assemble specialists, all in a bid to gain ascendancy. Success in Shadow Moon Syndicates hinges on your ability to build a powerful network and maximize your resources. The crime boss with the most credits at the end claims the title of Sovereign of Shadow Moon. Will you rise to power, or fall in the shadows of your rivals?
