Leaping Lions

Draft and upgrade platforms and move your lion to earn points for your performance.

This Malaysian take on Chinese New Year delivered on everything we were looking for. Vibrant and elegant, Leaping Lions celebrated its holiday theme in every aspect of play. Seeing the lion dance across the platforms is pure fun, but it’s the complex interplay between the various platform cards that really makes the game shine. Every game requires a delicate dance between choosing unique abilities or scoring elements, playing cards or discarding them for upgrades, and managing the pool of draftable cards for the next turn. With a variety of ways to score and the potential for explosive combos, our games were full of big exciting moments that made us want to play Leaping Lions again and again.
