About the game

What you do in a play session

Barony: Heroes is a mini-expansion that adds a new layer of strategy and variety to the already incredible Barony. With 24 Hero cards, each player can choose a unique, asymmetric power to use during the game. These powers are one-time use, so you'll need to think carefully about when to activate them to maximize their impact. The expansion is compatible with both the Royal Edition of Barony and the original version, but beware: the art style doesn't match the base game. The cards are language-independent, so no matter where you're from, the challenge remains the same. If you're a fan of Barony and want to spice up your strategies, this expansion is a great addition!
