About the game

What you do in a play session

Gorg, the Orc Shaman, is a special promo card — originally created to thank backers of the Hero Realms Kickstarter, and now only available through select events or limited-time offers. It’s not a standalone game, but a bonus addition for Hero Realms players: a new powerful unit to weave into your deck-building strategy. Gorg channels classic orc-shaman vibes — heavy on dark magic, supportive abilities, and a healthy dose of chaotic fun. The core Deck, Bag, and Pool Building mechanic stays central, and this card just amplifies the creative potential for building clever, unique decks. Light (weight 1/5 on BGG), quick to learn, and ideal for fans who enjoy mixing action, tactics, and a touch of orcish mischief into their battles. Just one note: you’ll need the base game (Hero Realms) to make sense of it — this is a *bonus*, not a replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers before you buy

6 questions
Do I need the base game to use this card?
Yes — this is an exclusive expansion; without Hero Realms, it has no gameplay function.
Does it change game length?
No — it keeps the same playtime as the base game (usually 20–40 min) and only adds options, not complexity.
Is the card in English?
Yes — the promo follows the base game’s language, so English players get an English card.
Can I use it in regular games?
Absolutely — it’s optional and integrates smoothly into any deck, as long as you follow deck-building rules.
Is this card rare?
Yes — it was produced in limited quantities (backer exclusives + small convention runs), making it collectible.
Should I get it if I’m not into orcs?
Only if you love the mechanics — Gorg plays well, but the theme might not resonate if you’re not into fantasy villains.
