"Like Catan but with less randomness, more agency, and none of the frustrations of fickle trade partners. Be prepared for a tight and interactive game." – Board Game Quest “The better Catan? It felt like an improved version — less luck, more tactical, and in your control. If you fell behind, you always knew it was your own fault. Lots of fun.” – Spielpunkt
WALK OR TELEPORT WIZARDS
Walk your wizards one hex for free, or pay one gold to teleport a wizard up to two hexes away, bypassing opponent walls.
CAST INTRICATE SPELLS
Cast a different action spell with each wizard (Forage, Steal, Protect). Expend resources to weave potent magic and everlasting effects.
CONJURE BUILDINGS & WALLS
Conjure buildings on hexes your wizards occupy to score points. Build walls to protect wizards and towns from thieving rivals and volcanic eruptions.
RISE FROM THE ASHES AND REIGN VICTORIOUS IN SYGON
At the end of each round, active volcanoes may erupt, deteriorating adjacent unwalled hexes. Towns encircled by ash, walls, or volcanoes gain 1 extra point. Then, players receive gold from the bank equal to their point deficit.

"Catan vibes. Felt like a heavier version with engaging, strategic gameplay. Easy to learn, but surprisingly deep. Dynamic, interactive, and wonderfully produced."
"Catan-like game without random resources! Spells provide resource recovery and deeper player interaction. The clever scoring system lets players notably impact the endgame. I really liked Hexes of Sygon!

"If you’re a Catan fan, you will love Hexes of Sygon. Not too complex of a game, very good component quality, and well written rules. While it borrows some elements from Catan, it is a totally different game. It's not as random and I could see this replacing Catan for its fans."
