About the game
What you do in a play session
The game's mechanics revolve around a constant auction. Each round, you send your super-powered mercenaries to try to destroy enemy bases, but the twist is that recruiting these heroes is a fierce competition. You attack and prepare your strategy, but your opponent has the chance to bid to steal that hero you wanted so badly. It's a classic 'take that' game where provocation and bluffing are just as important as the raw power of your cards. Will you risk everything to keep a powerful hero, or save your credits for a future move?
With a quick playtime of about 20 minutes, Heroes for Sale is the kind of game that keeps you on your toes. The tension of seeing your hero being 'bought' by your opponent creates moments that are both hilarious and frustrating in just the right way. It's a perfect duel for those who enjoy card games that require reading the game and a bit of malice. If you enjoy science fiction, superhero themes, and don't mind seeing your plans ruined by a well-timed last-minute bid, this title is an excellent addition to your collection of quick duels.
