Fourth Wing Takes Flight: Fantasy Card Game Soars onto Shelves Ahead of Amazon TV Adaptation

Fourth Wing Soars to New Heights with Fantasy Card Game Release In a move that's sure to delight fans of the bestselling Empyrean series, Hasbro has launched Priorities: Fourth Wing Edition, a fantasy card game based on Rebecca Yarros' hit novels. The game, which hit shelves this week, marks the first title in a slate of branded Hasbro Games tied to the blockbuster series. The gameplay is designed to mirror the immersive, character-driven choices that have fueled Yarros' runaway success. One player, dubbed the Wingleader, secretly ranks five cards pulled from across the first three Empyrean novels - Fourth Wing, Iron Flame, and Onyx Storm - while the rest of the group, known as the Iron Squad, works together to guess the order. "We're thrilled to bring the world of Fourth Wing to life in a new way," said Yarros. "The game is all about strategy and teamwork, just like the novels. I'm excited to see fans engaging with each other in a whole new way." According to Hasbro, the game is designed to spark spirited debates among players, with categories spanning romance, rivalries, power struggles, and fan-favorite riders. The set includes 100 cards, each featuring quotes, scenes, or characters from the novels. Priorities: Fourth Wing Edition is available now on Amazon and Barnes & Noble for $24.99. Fans can also order the game online through Hasbro's website. The Empyrean series has gained a massive following since its debut in 2020, with over 1 million copies sold worldwide. The series' success has led to a partnership between Hasbro and Entangled Publishing to develop branded games based on the novels. "We're excited to partner with Rebecca Yarros and Entangled Publishing to bring the world of Fourth Wing to life in new and innovative ways," said a spokesperson for Hasbro. "The game is a testament to the enduring popularity of the series, and we can't wait to see how fans engage with it."
