About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for an interdimensional portal that mashed up our world with a crazy fantasy realm, giving rise to Absurdia! Think accountants who are monsters and cosmic wedding planners – that's the kind of stuff you'll find here. In Misfit Heroes, you and your friends will assemble crews of eccentric characters to win the favor of citizens in different regions. The big twist is that the characters you use change every game! Before you start, you'll build your deck by combining character cards with special attributes, creating unique and unpredictable combinations. Each character has abilities that help you earn money, draw more cards, or, most importantly, gain influence in the mountain, forest, sea, and city regions. When you gather 6 influence points in a region, you claim it and score points. The master of combinations and the highest scorer takes the win! It's a card game with deck construction and hand management, where creativity in character combinations is the key to success. With a playtime of 30 to 45 minutes and a light weight, it's perfect for those who enjoy a quick game full of twists.
