About the game
What you do in a play session
Hero Realms: Tibus, Guild Lord Promo Cards is an exclusive card set that originated during the Hero Realms Kickstarter campaign. The expansion introduces the Shadow Boss card, which works in both solo and cooperative modes, allowing you to tackle challenges alone or team up with the base game, even without character packs or the Campaign Starter Deck. Although it’s a promotional item, it can still be found at conventions and special promotions, but availability is limited, so anyone wanting to secure a copy needs to keep an eye on events.
The Shadow Boss card adds an extra layer of strategy to the game. In solo play, it provides a denser campaign experience, requiring the player to carefully plan moves to overcome the adversary. In cooperative mode, players must coordinate their actions and combine cards to defeat the monster, reinforcing the teamwork spirit that Hero Realms already values. The deck, bag, and pool building mechanic remains intact: players continue building their decks from common cards, but now have the option to include Shadow Boss to increase tactical variety.
Moreover, the set keeps the classic Hero Realms visual style, with detailed illustrations and artwork that fits perfectly into the fantasy and combat universe. Each card is standard size, making it easy to integrate with the rest of the game. The set can be played by 1 to 4 players, with game time varying depending on the configuration, but usually ranges from 30 to 60 minutes. Complexity stays at the same level as the base game, being accessible to beginners and challenging for veterans looking for new battle scenarios.
In short, if you’re already a fan of Hero Realms and want to try new gameplay possibilities, the Tibus, Guild Lord promo set is a great addition. Just remember that the quantity available is limited, so don’t wait.
