Sooooo many ways to play and enjoy Hero Realms equals endless fun and long game nights. Both of these add a new way to play as one player will control the boss to defeat our heroes. I also forgot to mention but I received the two Boss Decks: The Dragon and the Lich. So if you play with young kids be aware there are cards with scary images, gore, and scantily dressed women, men, and creatures of all kinds. And since most of my gaming is done with my kids I have to doctor those cards. The other thing I have an issue with, and one I had with Hero Realms, is some of the artwork is not PG. Again not a deal breaker, just something to keep on your radar when you play. Making sure that each turn players are doing everything for the Master then themselves and catching all the rules and effects can be daunting. This is not a condemning statement, but there is a lot of housekeeping that goes along with this game. Being able to make your character more powerful by leveling up and gaining treasures to face future foes is a blast. Players are compelled to move forward to find out the mystery behind everything that is going on. The story line behind Thandar is engaging and well written. ![]() Add on cooperative play and a campaign and you have yourself a winner! A very easy to use deck building mechanism that sets itself up for fast easy play with players of all abilities. I absolutely love the Star and Hero Realms gaming system. But really check out some of these cards: The artwork is phenomenal* and really pulls you into this fantasy world. But you do get to explore new story lines (similar to choose your own adventure) and create a stronger and more fierce character which can be very exciting. The game can be harsh! But if it was easy it wouldn't be fun.īeating a foe feels like you have won the Super Bowl, well maybe not that big. I found that we only won about 30 to 40% of the time. So don't think that it will be a walk in the park, because it won't. Players aren't winning every time out of the gate. The Ruin of Thandar is also very well balanced for a cooperative game. Now I will mention this later in my cons, but the Ruins of Thandar campaign can get a bit more difficult, in terms of game play, having to track everything that needs to be done. For starters it is the game system-deck building streamlined-which is very simple and easy to teach as well as play. Now they add on RPG style play, please just take my money! Oh wait, you already did. The addition of heroes in order to create asymmetric set ups was brilliant. Hero Realms was a great addition, opening the system up to fantasy theme loving gamers. Star Realms was an instant favorite the first time I played it and still is after hundreds of plays (both physically and online). If not they get to start again, just like those old console games that didn't have the save function or undo!Īs mentioned before, and probably too often, I love The Realms universe that White Wizard has created. If the players win they will read in the campaign book to find out what their rewards are then move on to the next scenario. Play continues like this until all players have been defeated or the Master has been defeated (health being taken down to zero). After the current player has ended their turn play passes to the player on the left. Players will use coins to buy cards from the market and attacks to attack Minions, Elite Minions, and the Master. ![]() The process is exactly the same as in Hero Realms. Once the Master's effects/attacks have been resolved the current player will now play cards from their hand. ![]() Players can also attack minions that are in front of other directly adjacent players (on the left or right) as long as there is not one in front of themselves. Minions in front of a player must be dealt with before players can directly attack the Master or any Elite Minions. If an Elite Minion is drawn it is placed in front of the Master and will effect all players (on their turns) in the same manor as the regular minion. If a minion is drawn it will be placed in front of the current player and it's attack/effect will be added to that of the Masters. The Master's attacks go towards the current player's Guards, then Champions (unless the Hero can be knocked out), then the Hero themselves. Next players will resolve the actual card drawn (Minion, Action, etc.). That will tell the players the effect that will be taking place. On the card there is an orb with a color that matches one on the Master's abilities on it's reference card. First they will activate the Master by drawing one or more cards (depending on the Master's level) from the Master's deck. Each player on their turn will take the following actions. Three player set up with Master at the top (between players two and three).
