Overview

What ABG knows about this game

Heroes & Wizards is a light-hearted and party-ready card game where players race to collect a winning combination of legendary heroes in order to embark on an epic quest to save the game's kingdom from impending doom. Players can steal hero cards, enlist the help of powerful wizard cards and play mischief-making event cards as they prepare their party of heroes for adventure. To launch a quest and win the game, a player's party must first acquire heroes with enough compatible skills between them, then the player must get their hands on an elusive quest card in order to lock down victory before their opponents get the chance. Heroes and Wizards gives a light-hearted and family-friendly twist to the fantasy role-playing game genre, but its interactive gameplay leaves plenty of room for tense competition and treachery too, to suit both skilled strategists as well as first-time gamers. -description from designer
