Hero Realms is a card-based deck building fantasy tabletop game, designed by Rob Dougherty and Darwin Kastle and published in 2016 by White Wizard Games. The game started out as a Kickstarter campaign in 2016. The goal of Hero Realms is to destroy your opponent or opponents by purchasing cards using "Gold" and using these cards to attack your opponent's "health" and their champions using your "combat" points or other powerful effects.[1]
Hero Realms is similar to other deck building games, like Star Realms,[1] Ascension, and Dominion. The game is marketed as portable and expandable, as it comes in a small box and contains only cards and no dice or markers.
Winning the game
A player wins when they reduce their opponent's score (called health) to zero.
Expansions
White Wizard Games have released five Character Packs that act as custom starting hands:
- Wizard
- Cleric
- Thief
- Ranger
- Fighter
- The Dragon Boss Deck
- The Lich Boss Deck
- The Ruin of Thandar Campaign Deck
Reception
