Beyond

Choose a side as celestial spirits gather to defend the balance of the world from Nian Shou, or make a pact with the evil spirit and spread chaos as a Tyrant. In this competitive card game, collect sets of four cards representing celestial spirits to gain energy points. Draw cards while pushing your luck, exchange tokens, steal cards using their reverse sides, and use special token effects in advanced play. The game ends when a player completes three spirit patterns, with the player holding the most energy points winning. Gathering all six Nian Shou cards triggers an immediate victory.
