About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey there, board game enthusiasts! If you're already hooked on the thrill of "Keep the Heroes Out!", get ready for some extra action with this little pack of goodies. These promo cards, originally part of the Dice Tower 2023 Kickstarter campaign, add a nice spicy twist to your games.
The star of the show is the "Lucky Potion," an action card that gives you a sweet strategic edge. It lets you peek at the top three tactic cards in your deck, keep all the ones with a 'surge' symbol (that red arrow, you know?), and discard the rest. It's a neat way to optimize your hand and make sure the best cards are always within reach when you need them most.
On top of that, the pack comes with four new Loot Cards that bring more variety and challenges to the table. You'll find "Beast," "Ambush 1," "Move and Portal Scroll," "Ambush 2," "Move Potion," and "Ambush 1." Each of these can shake up the game, whether by forcing an unexpected move, setting a trap, or offering a special item. The inclusion of "Swarm Move" and "Lucky Potion" also promises to shake up the available tactics.
These cards are perfect for anyone looking to refresh their gameplay and explore new strategies within the "Keep the Heroes Out!" universe. The language dependency is moderate, so having a translated reference sheet or translated cards handy will be quite helpful the first time you play with them. If you're looking to expand your options and add an element of surprise to your cooperative sessions, this expansion is a great find.
