About the game
If you already enjoy the brawling nature of Hero Realms, the Journeys – Discovery pack arrives to add an extra layer of strategy to your games. Instead of simply pounding your opponent until they fall, you now have secret objectives to pursue. Discovery introduces a quest system that shifts the table dynamics: you receive quest cards at the start of the game, and if you manage to fulfill the proposed challenge, you are rewarded with incredibly powerful relics.

These relics aren't just for show; they enter your deck and provide the necessary upgrade to turn the tide of battle. The big twist here is that victory no longer depends solely on reducing the opponent's health to zero. If you are clever enough to complete all three of your quests, you win the game automatically! This creates a delicious tension, as your opponents might realize you're close to completing an objective and try to take you down before you secure that final relic.

The pack is compact, featuring 6 new quest cards and 6 relic cards, but the impact on gameplay is massive. It transforms the deck-building arms race into a strategic treasure hunt. You'll need to balance buying cards for defense and attack with the execution of quests to ensure a swift victory. It's the ideal expansion for those who feel the base game has become predictable and want new ways to achieve glory on the battlefield. Prepare your deck, plan your secret steps, and discover the strongest artifacts in the realm!
