Wise Wizard Games Hero Realms Deckbuilding Game

We love this game! Deckbuilding game with a good variety of market cards. The expansions make the game very fun too, but the original game is definitely good enough. The box is compact, but has everything you need in it - it is easy to store because of the size. The box and cards are good quality. The artwork on the cards is very nice too.

This game was an instant hit in our house. Generally, we are picky with games but this was extremely easy to learn and quick to play. Due to its size it is extremely portable and the short nature of the game averaging around 15 mins per round means you can fit it in anytime. The art is great, the box is perfectly sized to fit the cards and accommodates any additional characters pack you may want to purchase. We have since bought the wizard and ranger characters packs and they were a great addition. Star realms are made by the same publisher and depending on your interest in fantasy or space will decide which way you go. I have found this to be better balanced even though my wife seems to always win. I would recommend this for anyone new to board games.

This has become one of my favourite games, as it is close to the "easy to learn, hard to master" sweet spot. That means that it's easier to find people to play with than for more complex games, but you can enjoy some really varied gameplay and strategies. One recommendation - use one of the many score-keeping apps you can get for your mobile phone rather than the supplied scoring cards, which are the only weak point in the design of the game. Thoroughly recommended to anyone interested in board/card games.

I bought this as an alternative to Star Realms Frontier, which we found to be a surprise hit. This game is very similar, but feels different enough owing to the larger values of attack and healing. It's easy to learn, and quick and addictive to play. It would be 5 stars but..... you should be aware that the box art and 3 cards have changed to include the faces of real kickstarter backers (I think!). While two of the cards look great, and are possibly better than their originals, the Rayla card (artwork front and centre on the box) is a bit jarring and in my opinion not as good as the original artwork. Not really a big problem, but worth being aware of to avoid initial disappointment when it arrives.

The product was missing cards but their support was excellent and shipped us the missing cards. We've enjoyed playing, and I would recommend for family game light... just be warned it turns competitive very quickly after the initial few games.

No issue with the game, just not as big a fan of the theme as I was Star Realms. If I could give multi part reviews I'd give the look, feel and production values 5 stars. I actually much prefer the hard box of this in terms of storage however if I am looking for a game to slip into the backpack when off away I'd probably still go for Star Realms as slightly easier on space! Although appreciate the contradiction there. I do have friends who prefer this to 'space' though so it's very dependent on individual tastes.

Build your deck during gameplay by spending your resources on creatures, heroes and spells to add to your army and dominate the other players. Took us a while to figure out this mechanic and the way your discard piles come back into play as your initially limited deck runs out. Just because we were used to card games where you build a deck before starting play! This, however, is one of the gameplay elements we enjoyed the most. Your tactics change as you decide what deck to build based on what's available - and what your enemies have chosen. Bought as a gift, will be buying another for myself after playing!

This one's from the same guys who designed and published the ultra popular deck building game "Star Realms". It shares a common game mechanic but with subtle twists in order to accommodate a fantasy setting. The card art is impeccable and the quality very decent linen finish. If you intend to really give this game a tough workout you may want to consider buying good quality transparent sleeves, something like Dragon Shields. Also particularly liked the scoring cards that came with this game as I find them by far more practical to use than those which come with Star Realms.

Très bon jeu de cartes de stratégie.

My friend and I love this game. while we generally play Dominion for our deckbuilding game the box is huge compared to this one. It's small and comes with all you need to play. Likes: If you have played a deck builder then this will be easy to pick up. The combat is manageable and can get a bit swingy if certain cards come into the lineup without any healing available. A bunch of expansions including boss battle which turn the game into a one vs all thing. A few campaign expansions that make the game a co-op experience and finally classes, the add some player powers and asymmetrical starter decks. Dislikes: One of the 'colors' has all the healing and is the only one so actually getting healing cards isn't that common so if your opponent gets lucky with the lineup and money in hand they can do a ton of damage in a single turn. The game does get samey with about 20ish plays. The expansions help with this and make the game way better. The expansions are basically the same price as the base game. Shouldn't really be a point here but I figured I should mention it. Sleeving the cards makes it not fit the box it came in. Final Thoughts: Overall a fun, easy, and quick game. The game does feel fresh if you play it for a while and then wait some time and come back to it. Or if you add the expansions. 8.5/10 (Will always play it, base game or expansions)

Kurz zum Spielprinzip.: Es handelt sich um ein reines Kartenspiel, jeder Spieler erhält die gleiche Starthand an Karten (Ressource und Angriff), Karten aus dem Startdeck abheben ausspielen und auf den Ablagestapel legen, neue Karten vom Deck abheben, sind nicht genügend Karten im Deck wird der Ablagestapel gemischt und als Deck weitergeführt. Es gibt eine Auslage in der man Karten kaufen und seinem Deck hinzufügen kann, so erweitert man sein Deck nach und nach und versucht die Lebenspunkte des Gegenspielers auf 0 zu bringen. Das war ganz grob nur, gibt auf YouTube aber gute Videos die das Prinzip im Detail erklären. Was hat mir gefallen.: + Illustrationen + sehr einfaches Spielprinzip das in wenigen Minuten erklärt ist, eignet sich also gut um in kürzester Zeit den Freunden/Kindern es näher zu bringen. + günstiger Preis (bei mir waren es um die 18 Euro) + kurzweilig Was hat mir nicht gefallen.: - auch wenn die Kartentexte nicht wirklich wichtig sind da alles über Symbole läuft, mein Englisch mehr als ausreichend dafür ist, habe ich meine Spiele einfach gern auf deutsch. - Taktische Möglichkeiten nur begrenzt bis kaum vorhanden, da alles sehr einfach gehalten ist. - Oft entscheidet 1 oder 2 starke Spielzüge das Spiel, was sehr schade ist wenn man sich auf einen Schlagabtausch freut. Fazit.: Ein lustiges Spiel für nebenbei, keinen Tiefgang wie bei TCG's erwarten und die Einfachheit der Dinge genießen. So frustrierend es sein kann ein offenes Spiel dank einem starken Zug des Gegenspielers zu verlieren, so viel Freude macht es ein Spiel mit einem Lebenspunkt dank einem guten Blatt zu gewinnen. Klare Kaufempfehlung.

Shipped within 2 days. Great game in great conditions.

The box is sturdy, more than the boxes than come with the Star Realms games. The art is crisp and beautiful. It's also a really easy game to learn! My partner and I added house rules though, because unlike Star Realms, this game has a lot LESS healing cards - so we upped the starting HP to 100. It allows you to actually have time to build a deck and play for a good amount of time.
