About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey adventurers! Get ready for Heroes of Barcadia, a party game that will test your courage and your thirst! The situation is dire: monsters have stolen all the drinks and hidden them in an ever-changing dungeon. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to rescue this liquid treasure!

In this adventure for 2 to 6 players, you'll build the dungeon with tiles, face nasty creatures, and collect Power-Ups to boost your character's abilities. But watch out, because Loot Cards can hinder your friends in the race to face the final boss and reclaim the drinks. The coolest part? Your 'health' in the game is measured by what's in your cup! That's right, the Liquid Life System™ uses your favorite beverage – be it soda, water, or something stronger – to track your hit points. Run out of drink, and you know what happens, right?

Heroes of Barcadia blends dice rolling with tile placement in a fantastic, humor-filled adventure, perfect for those who enjoy a more adult vibe and aren't afraid of a good pun. Prepare for a fast-paced, chaotic, and always surprising experience where the 'nice guys' might just finish last. So, fill your glass, bring your thirst for adventure, and get ready to rumble in this epic party!
