Lion Forge and Resurrection Games partner for Iyanu's card and board games

Resurrection Games, a leading brand in collectible tabletop gaming, is excited to partner with TV studio Lion Forge Entertainment for their highly anticipated animated series "IYANU" – an epic superhero fantasy story set to premiere on Cartoon Network, Max and Showmax this Spring.

The Resurrection Games collaboration will introduce multiple card and board games, providing children and families with an immersive, interactive way to explore the characters, storyline, and rich world of "IYANU." These include:
• "Yorubaland: Wild Terrain" (Family Board Game): Teams compete in this tactical "Tiger Tag" game, with Team Chosen seeking the Source while Team Corrupt pursues them across a revealing landscape.
• "Iyanu: Crossroads" (Ages 4-9): A memory tile game where players use unique character abilities to collect tokens and artifacts, racing to be first to gather seven.
• "Iyanu: Mark of the Chosen" (Ages 6+): A push-your-luck card game where players draw from the Yoruba deck to master divine powers, collecting victory points over three rounds.

Resurrection Games is dedicated to bringing stories to life through collectible games built around licensed IPs. “The best projects start with a passionate, supportive community and a gameplay core that ties everything together,” Resurrection Games President Brian Zander shared, “Whether it’s a unique mechanic, an engaging theme or character design, or a dynamic balance between strategy and luck, we focus on creating experiences that players and fans can’t stop talking about. For us, it’s all about finding the spark that makes a game unforgettable and building everything else around it.”

Lion Forge Entertainment Founder and CEO David Steward II said, “Partnering with Resurrection Games to bring ‘Iyanu’ to tabletop games goes beyond simply watching the story unfold on screen – it provides a fresh and unique opportunity for fans to dive deep into the adventure themselves. Through these games, players can explore the rich cultural mythology and powerful themes of the series in a way that is both engaging and meaningful.”

Drawing from Nigerian culture and mythology, "IYANU" follows a young orphan in the fantasy kingdom of Yorubaland who discovers she possesses divine powers not seen since the Age of Wonders. Together with her friends Biyi, Toye, and a magical leopard named Ekun, Iyanu embarks on an epic journey to master her abilities and protect her homeland from an ancient evil. Lion Forge Entertainment has recently closed a deal with ITVX to stream "Iyanu" in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and the series is set to launch in the Summer in the UK.
