About the game

What you do in a play session

Looking for that extra spice to change your table's dynamics? Hero Realms: Year One Promo Cards is exactly that. This is a special set of 12 cards originally distributed as prizes in events and tournament support between 2016 and 2017, though they were also available to those who backed the Kickstarter campaign. If you already enjoy the brawling nature of Hero Realms, these cards bring new strategic options to build your deck and surprise your opponents.

The set consists of a mix of Action cards and one Champion. It includes duplicates of cards like 'Afterlife', 'Devotion', 'Robbery', and 'Raiding Party', which help diversify attack and control tactics. Additionally, the pack includes unique cards such as 'The Summoning', 'Dragon Fire', 'Crime Spree', and the powerful 'Mobia - Elf Lord', adding that extra layer of power everyone wants in their deck.

It's important to remember that this is not a standalone game, but a supplement. You need the base game to use these cards. Another crucial point: since these are promotional cards, the language dependency is high. If you aren't fluent in English, you'll need a translation to understand the effects and avoid mistakes during the match. Overall, it's a targeted upgrade for those who want to expand combat possibilities and breathe new life into their deck-building sessions, transforming how you manage resources and attack your opponents.
