Lethbridge AB — Resurrection Games, a leading brand in collectible tabletop gaming, has partnered with the award-winning studio Lion Forge Entertainment to bring the epic world of IYANU to life—just in time for the holidays.
Inspired
by the hit animated series IYANU—airing on Cartoon Network and now
streaming on HBO Max—the Resurrection Games collection offers families
and fans an immersive new way to experience the Nigerian-inspired
superhero fantasy.
Pre-orders are now open for three debut titles, each capturing the adventure, mythology, and heart of Iyanu’s story:
● Iyanu: Crossroads (Ages 6+)
— A memory tile game where young players use unique character abilities
to collect tokens and artifacts, racing to gather seven and claim
victory. Crossroads was named 2025 Best Geeky Gift: Games & Puzzle by The PopInsider.
● Yorubaland: Wild Terrain (Family Board Game)
— Teams compete in a tactical “Tiger Tag” chase. Team Chosen seeks the
Source while Team Corrupt pursues them across a dynamic, tile-built
landscape.
● Iyanu: Mark of the Chosen (Ages 9+)
— A push-your-luck card game where players draw from the Yoruba deck to
master divine powers and earn victory points over three rounds.
Each game brings to life the characters and themes of IYANU,
an epic coming-of-age story about a young orphan who discovers divine
powers not seen since the Age of Wonders. Together with her friends
Biyi, Toye, and her magical leopard Ekun, Iyanu must master her gifts
and defend the kingdom of Yorubaland from an ancient evil.
Based
on the Dark Horse Comics/YouNeek Studios graphic novel Iyanu: Child of
Wonder by award-winning Nigerian creator Roye Okupe, the animated
adaptation is produced by Lion Forge Entertainment, the Academy Award®-
and Emmy®-winning studio behind Hair Love.
Shipping
is estimated for early December 2025. The card game Iyanu: Mark of the
Chosen is priced at $21.95, Iyanu: Crossroads at $26.50, and Yorubaland:
Wild Terrain at $48.50, making the collection a versatile addition to
any holiday gift guide. ###
