Description

Custom Heroes is a fast-paced, strategic game of set building and strategy. The objective of the game is to get rid of all your cards faster than your opponents. You can play sets of cards that have the same or greater value and the same number in the set as the previous player, but you have to balance the use of high value cards vs. the risk of getting stuck with low value cards in your hand as other players finish before you.

The twist in Custom Heroes is that as you play you earn and spend Power resources which allow you to Card Craft the cards in your hand by sliding upgrades into their sleeves that overlap the card and upgrades already present to alter the value and special abilities of your cards. As each round passes the cards become more and more valuable and complex!

Custom Heroes uses a clever system of winning victory points to determine who the ultimate winner of the game is and there is a wagering mechanic that can allow for wild swings and surprise come from behind victories.
