About the game
Keep the Heroes Out! – Guild Master’s Revenge Expansion is the latest addition to the already entertaining Keep the Heroes Out! series. If you’re familiar with the game where each player controls a Guild Master trying to stop heroes from invading the city, you’ll love the 1‑vs‑many mode that this expansion brings. Now, one player takes on the role of the Guild Master while the others become heroes attempting to breach the territory. The Guild Master’s goal is to prevent the heroes from claiming influence zones, while the heroes aim to accumulate victory points by spreading across the board. The mode works with 2 to 7 players, but the maximum recommended is 7, with 1 against 5 or 6 heroes. The expansion includes a new combat board, brand‑new action cards, damage and control tokens, as well as streamlined rules for the 1‑vs‑many setup. Playtime stays around 40 minutes, preserving the quick‑paced feel that defines the series. Complexity remains at a medium level, requiring players to plan moves and manage resources strategically. If you already own the base edition, simply add the expansion components and follow the setup instructions. If you don’t yet have the base game, the expansion does not replace it but acts as a complement that expands the experience. In short, Guild Master’s Revenge offers a fresh gameplay perspective and boosts the replayability of Keep the Heroes Out! with a balanced, fun challenge for fans of competitive, team‑based strategy.
