Hero Realms

The fantasy answer to Star Realms — buy, build and battle your way through a market of champions, gold and steel until your opponent's health hits zero. Games run twenty minutes and teach in five, but the deck you build is different every time. Designed by Magic: The Gathering Pro Tour champions Darwin Kastle and Rob Dougherty, it's one of the highest-rated deckbuilders on the shelf and the gateway to a huge line of character packs and co-op campaigns.
