Each battle is a fairer and a more exciting contest- each little army is full of more exciting characters- and it’s a better two-player AND large group game. It is one of those games where I feel like I could easily explain to others that had not played before. When activating an ability, you have an RPG-style difficulty score to meet or exceed by rolling two 6-sided dice.

We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. This includes a special box, unique hero and leader cards, exclusive item and magic cards, and a dice tower. Some warrior cards also have the ability to hold two item cards, so you can protect your loved ones with a decoy doll, as well as adding +2 to your roll.You can’t really plan ahead because, at any moment, a failed die roll or unexpected card from an opponent could derail your plans. Though not quite the RPG-lite experience it’s aiming to be, Here to Slay is a fun enough diversion with the right players. In this game, you can keep a modifier card up your sleeve (or, well, in your hand) to make sure the odds always tip in your favor. You’ll often find that as soon as one game finishes, you’ll be straight back in for round two to get your own back on those backstabbing friends! You may find cards / sets you and your friends enjoy playing with and stick with it as there are now ( since the games original release ) a plethora of additional cards choose from.

Playing a challenge card initiates a 1V1 challenge in which you and another player both have to roll the dice. It’s an entertaining blend of Unstable Unicorns’ set collection and ‘take that’ elements, with some RPG style dice rolling and monster bashing thrown in. I should be honest and say that I have the deluxe Kickstarter edition, with gorgeous sleeves, a cardboard dice tower and a few promo cards. Modifier cards can be played on your turn or an opponent’s turn to raise or lower roll values, while challenge cards are played in response to an opponent and cause you both to roll the D6s.Placing hero cards down straight away can give you a free one-shot bonus (which therefore costs an action to play) and strengthen your party. Once a player meets that monsters criteria and has the available points to fight it, they roll the game’s two-game dice, through the games dice tower, to see if they meet the monsters second conditions.

Like the neigh, sometimes success is simply about running your opponents out of their modifiers by continuing to attempt skill rolls, or rolling a number so high that their modifier cards won’t help. If they win the challenge, they still get to play their card, but if you win the challenge, you get to send their card directly to the discard pile!It’s one of my go-to casual games and a great option when my wife and I want to have fun with a board game that doesn’t require too much time or brain power. The base game provides 6 Party leaders, but with an additional 2 Party Leaders provided in this expansion, this raises the maximum to 8 players in a game. Due to the low number limit (1-12) and high number changing cards (abilities and modifiers) the game tended to be too fast and snowballed way too much, so we ended up playing to four monster cards instead to make it a bit bigger.
