Los Angeles, California — November 11, 2026 — Sovereign: Fall of Wormwood and its expansion, Sovereign: Exiles of Eden, debut at PAX Unplugged, December 4–6, 2026. Attendees can play a demo with the designer at the booth of Ixion’s distributor, Modiphius.
SOVEREIGN: FALL OF WORMWOOD is a gripping sci-fi tactical card game for 2-4 players, with cunning diplomacy, exciting combat, and over 300 beautifully illustrated cards. The base game includes six distinct faction decks, each ready to play. Exiles of Eden adds four more factions, bringing the total to ten. Combining elements of CCG’s, worker placement, and bluffing games, Sovereign feels familiar while being wholly unique.“
This is a game that I wanted since I was a little kid,” said designer Damon Stea, “This is an extension of the memories that I have of opening up Magic cards when I was eight years old and feeling like I was actually looking into a magic tome.”
Sovereign is the first game published by Ixion Gameworks, designed by Damon Stea and produced by Cassandra Chowdhury. Stea, who double majored in Film and Game Design at the University of Southern California, initially wrote Sovereign as a movie script. Over time, he realized the story he wanted to tell and the lore he wished to write was better suited to a card game. Ixion Gameworks ran a successful crowdfunding campaign for Sovereign in 2024, and it was subsequently picked up for distribution by Modiphius Entertainment. An addition expansion and a solo/coop module are both planned for release in 2027.
