Call to Adventure: Epic Origins is a card game where you craft your own hero in a high fantasy world. 1-4 players compete to earn the highest Destiny score while cooperating to defeat a common adversary. The game blends tableau building, dice rolling, and storytelling, with over 150 unique cards featuring challenges, abilities, and character progression. Choose your heritage (like Elves or Dwarves), invest in classes to level up, and face increasingly powerful adversaries across three acts of adventure. The cooperative and solo modes have been enhanced, with a campaign mode that unlocks new cards as you progress. In the end, besides determining the winner, everyone gets to tell their hero's story—and you can even convert them into a D&D 5th Edition character!
