Legends of Gadia Press Release 2025-10-23
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Award-Winning Snohomish County Novelist Hosts Launch Party for Indie Card Game LEGENDS OF GADIA at Zulu’s Board Game Cafe
LYNNWOOD, WA – October 23, 2025 – Su Mon Han, a Mill Creek-based fantasy novelist and indie game designer, proudly announces the official release of her debut card game, LEGENDS OF GADIA: First Edition. Han, whose upcoming GADIA novel series took the Grand Prize at the San Francisco Writers’ Conference’s 2024 Annual Writing Contest, successfully funded the game on Kickstarter in February 2025.
LEGENDS OF GADIA is a highly thematic, strategic card game based on the fictional game played by characters in her GADIA novel series, bringing the deep fantasy lore to life in the real world. With its tagline, “The Most Epic Game You Can Play in 20 Minutes!” this limited card game (MSRP: $29.99) is complete in a single, 48-card deck and is designed for 2 to 4 players (Ages 8+).
The gameplay is fast-paced, offering strategic depth in a 20-minute session that is perfect as a "filler game." The rules are easy to learn, reminiscent of classics like Rummy or Bridge, but incorporate a bold fantasy twist with magic spells and card team-ups that elucidate the stories and histories of the twelve heroes from the world of GADIA depicted in the cards. This thematic focus is amplified by the gorgeous, original art on the cards, which evokes fantasy tarot and Art Nouveau, hand-drawn by fantasy illustrators Cyvii (Instagram handle: @cyvii.art) and Olha Hyshchak (Instagram handle: @fate_221). The designer confirms the game contains absolutely no AI-generated art.
Operating under her company Dream Compendium, LLC, Han invites the community to celebrate the First Edition release (which officially shipped on September 30, 2025) at a free public launch event.
