The Defence of Procyon III (pronounced "pross-yonn") is a team-based, card-driven strategic combat game. What makes this game especially unique? Each of the 4 factions have their own unique ruleset and mechanics. In effect, there are 4 different card-base combat games interacting with each other. However, you cannot go it alone. You win or lose along with your teammate, and their aid at a crucial time could swing the tide of battle.

If you only have 2 or 3 players, one or both players will control 2 factions instead of 1. There is also a bot option to control the alien factions for solo and co-op play.


There is a lot to learn in the world of Procyon III, so it is highly recommended that you and your friends choose a faction before the game and review only your rulebook, which is already set up next to your seat at the table. You can also download the rulebooks from the links below.
