About the game
What you do in a play session
Ever imagined Wonderland in need of a massive renovation? The 'Nothing' has devoured everything, and the Queen of Hearts, in a moment of sheer confusion, has summoned entire armies of Alices to fix the mess. In Alicematic Heroes, you take charge of one of these Alice teams in a strategic race to see who can rebuild the land most efficiently. The game revolves around managing your hand of cards and expanding your influence across a modular board made of hex tiles. Each Alice you summon comes in a specific color and requires 'Dream Power' to activate. By playing a card onto your personal player board, you trigger special abilities known as 'Megalomania'. If you can't afford the cost, you can play the card as a 'commoner', which helps build up your power in that color but skips the powerful bonus. The strategic heart of the game lies in territory conquest. To claim an area, you need to balance your Military and Mobility resources. If you lack the strength, you can leave a territory under attack and finish it on a later turn, but be warned: other players might swoop in and steal the victory. The game also features 'Mystic Forests', which can only be captured once surrounded by player-controlled territories, adding a layer of tension and area-majority competition. After 14 rounds, the final score tallies up who controlled the most areas, who has the most Alices of each color, and the success of your Megalomania effects. It's an interesting mix of resource management and area control, wrapped in a vibrant art style that stands out. If you enjoy planning your turns and watching your card tableau grow while trying to outmaneuver opponents, Alicematic Heroes offers a tight and engaging experience. It’s the kind of game that demands you keep a close eye on your rivals, as the competition for hexes is constant and any mistake could cost you the reconstruction of Wonderland. Prepare your strategy, manage your Alices wisely, and try not to get lost in the madness of the board!
