## Description
The war in Tiny Epic Kingdoms is far from over, and the Deluxe Edition of Heroes' Call brings even more chaos and fun to the battlefield! If you enjoy the idea of expanding the Tiny Epic Kingdoms universe with new factions full of personality (Imps, Ooze, and Insectoids, to start!), this expansion is for you. It not only adds more gameplay options with these new races but also includes the Keys of Aughmoore mini-expansion, with new territories and challenges that will make everything more interesting. 

The game becomes even more epic with the introduction of Heroes! Each has unique abilities, represented by a larger meeple, which will add a special flavor to your strategies. Prepare to build taller towers and defend your progress fiercely, as losing tower cubes in battle means regressing in your construction. The area control mechanic remains strong, but now with the addition of new resources and the complexity of managing your tower's advancement. And for those who enjoy playing solo, this expansion finally brings the solo mode to Tiny Epic Kingdoms, allowing you to face the kingdom's challenges on your own. With a moderate strategic weight and quick games, Heroes' Call Deluxe Edition is a treat for those who already love the Tiny Epic series and want more quality content for their battles.

## FAQ
### Do I need the base Tiny Epic Kingdoms game to play this expansion?
Yes, absolutely! Heroes' Call is an expansion and relies entirely on the base game Tiny Epic Kingdoms to be played.

### How many players can participate with this expansion?
The expansion maintains the player count of the base game, which is 1 to 5 players. It also adds the solo play option!

### Does the game become much more complicated with the expansion?
It adds new layers of strategy with the Heroes and the tower mechanic, but the overall weight is still considered moderate. For those already familiar with the base game, the adaptation is smooth.

### What are the main new features of this Deluxe edition?
The Deluxe Edition includes three new factions (Imps, Ooze, Insectoids), the Keys of Aughmoore mini-expansion, Heroes with larger meeples, and the solo mode.

### Does the game time increase significantly with the expansion?
The base game time is 30-60 minutes. The expansion might slightly increase this time due to the new options and mechanics, but it generally stays within the same range, perhaps leaning closer to 60 minutes.

### Is it worth getting the Deluxe version instead of the separate expansion?
If you want everything in one package and the extra factions and mini-expansion appeal to you, the Deluxe Edition is worthwhile. It conveniently compiles the content.
