Heroes versus Heroes

Heroes battling heroes! Some of them are „undead“ heroes; all have a basis strength and most also a special ability for a certain phase of the conflict, with information on the hero cards.

All heroes are shuffled and each player is dealt six heroes, the rest is draw pile. Conflicts are resolved in maximum three phases and at the end of each phase you check if the conflict is won. For phases I, II and III you play one, two or three hero cards face-down. Then all reveal their cards simultaneously and sum the total strength for each hero, basic strength plus modifications for special abilities for the phase: those abilities must be use when corresponding to the phase. When a hero with a special ability for Phase II is played in Phase I, his special ability is not applied.

When, at the end of a phase, there is a unique winner with most strength, the conflict ends, regardless of the phase, and the winner takes all heroes for victory points. If not, all players involved in the tie of highest value play the next phase, the others are out of the game. When there is no unique winner in Phase III, all involved heroes remain on the table for the next conflict. All players then replenish their hand to six cards for the next conflict. If you cannot completely fill your hand, the game ends and each hero in your stack for victory points is worth one point, Naova gives you 10 bonus points.

Cool and cute with fantast drawings and surprising effects of abilities, sometimes a hero can come back into the conflict in a later phase. A very well-working mechanism with fascination combination options for abilities. Shall we play again?
