## Description
Battlecrest: Korvu – Hero Set brings a new level of excitement to the already beloved tactical card game Battlecrest. With this set, you can choose from four legendary heroes, each with their own set of action cards, a health marker, and a touch of personality that only a Sakkan fighter’s life can offer. Grid movement mechanics make every step a strategic calculation, while hand management forces you to decide whether to keep an attack card or save it for a future play. The modular board creates unique scenarios each game, and the scenario/mission mode lets you progress through epic campaigns or tackle solo challenges—though solo play requires the Imperator expansion to function. With a playtime of only 20 minutes, Battlecrest: Korvu is perfect for those who want quick, intense battles, whether in duos, three‑ or four‑player teams, or even solo games. If you enjoy hero variety, team cooperation, and the feeling of a board that changes each round, this set will surprise you. The only caveat is that combat can be a bit complex for beginners, and solo mode depends on another expansion. Overall, it’s a fun and dynamic addition that enriches the Battlecrest universe and keeps the fun constant.
