Mechanics

Icaion is an Engine Territory Building, Resource Management eurogame, and Velkhorne is a simulated opponent, allowing you to play Icaion solo. Each turn, Velkhorne will act based on its Action Cards, deny your access to Qoam crystals, and direct the parasites: all to make your life and mission harder.

Velkhorne owns zones

Velkhorne's wanderings always linger near the City, but the way he affects the territories around him is very invasive and far reaching.

Each city node has five associated Regions - 1 of each type. These five Regions are collectively known as its zone. Most actions Velkhorne does will manipulate Regions within this zone.

Instead of collecting, He steals

Velkhorne does not collect Curio cards, Qoam crystals, Shards, and Apparatuses. Instead, it discards or removes them from the game.

You will have to be skillful to avoid being stumped in your gathering of resources.

Velkhorne spreads corruption

He doesn't just remove things you may want, he can also add wicked parasites that can inhibit your machines and your plans.

Challenge Cards

The game experience can vary each time thanks to the Challenge Cards. The more cards you add, the tougher it becomes to overcome your enemy.
