Small-Time Heroes: Base Box

About this board game

Small-Time Heroes: Base Box is a cooperative deck-building game for 1–2 players, with games lasting about 70 minutes. Take on the role of an unlikely hero and work together to defend your town from an evil force.

The town’s usual protectors have departed in pursuit of fame and fortune. Now, a band of quirky underdogs must step forward. These Small-Time Heroes may lack bulging biceps and chiseled jawlines, but each brings distinctive abilities to the fight.

As you face successive battles, you will build your deck by choosing cards that represent your hero’s unique skills. Strengthen your abilities, coordinate with your fellow hero, and prepare for increasingly important confrontations as waves of minions threaten the community.

• Cooperative play: Work together to defend the town.
• Deck building: Develop your hero’s power by choosing ability cards.
• Heroic battles: Defeat waves of minions before confronting a final boss.
• Two ways to play: Enjoy a one-off session or take on a longer campaign.

For a single session, battle through three waves of minions and then face a final boss. Victory depends on defeating the boss before the boss defeats you.

If you want a broader challenge, turn Small-Time Heroes: Base Box into a campaign and battle through all three bosses. Whether you are playing one game or following the full campaign, the fate of the town rests with its most unlikely defenders.
