Each pack comes with a Character Card that notes the starting health, two Health-Tracking cards, two special ability cards, and a ten-card starter deck.Hero Realms is a fantasy-themed deck-building game that is an adaptation of the award-winning Star Realms game. These additional packs substitute a player's starting cards. She uses the three gold to buy the Eleven Curse and the attack to do one damage to her opponent.In a typical two player game the game ends when one player has reduced their opponent's health to zero.In addition to the base game I was also lucky enough to receive five character packs Cleric, Thief, Ranger, Wizard, and Fighter. At the conclusion of her turn she will discard the played cards (champions stay in play) and draw back up to five cards in her hand.In this example player one has played a two cards worth three gold and one card with an attack of one. During her turn she may also activate any champions that are already in play. Gold is used for buying cards from the Market, actions are used for their primary ability (and secondary if ally cards are present), and champions are put into play for later use. There are some differences which I will explain in that section.There are a couple different ways to set up Hero Realms and we will be taking a look at both starting with the base game then exploring the character expansion packs.To set up the base game each player will take two Health-Tracking Cards of the same color and set them to fifty (see the set up image below). Gather champions to your cause and outwit your opponents and you will be the Hero of the Realms.In Hero Realms each player will start with a basic deck of cards which they will add to over the course of the game in order to become more powerful and destroy their opponent.If you are familiar with Star Realms you can probably skip the set up and game play and go directly to the review.
