About the game
What you do in a play session
Ever felt the urge to be the villain of the story? In Hero Realms: Boss Deck – Lich, you stop being the hero and become your friends' worst nightmare. Instead of fighting another player in a balanced duel, you step into the shoes of the Lich, an undead master with devastating powers, facing off against an entire group of puny mortal characters. It's the perfect chance to test your friends' endurance while you try to annihilate them with your dark abilities.
The real draw here is the total shift in dynamics. The Lich's deck isn't just 'stronger'; it's fundamentally different. With 30 exclusive cards, the Boss Deck introduces new card types and abilities that aren't found in the base game. You'll deal with distinct resource management and attack patterns that will make the heroes tremble. If you and a friend are looking for something even more chaotic, you can even pit two bosses against each other in a clash of titans, turning the table into a true monster battlefield.
Keep in mind that, as an expansion, you'll need the Hero Realms base game to enjoy the full experience. The Lich adds a layer of asymmetric strategy that completely refreshes the gameplay, turning the match into a desperate race for the heroes to take down the boss before he wipes the board. If you love the feeling of being an epic villain or want to provide a real challenge for your group, this deck is the ideal addition. Get ready to laugh at the 'mortals' while you dominate the board with the power of the underworld!
