About this board game

Hero: Tales of the Tomes is a multiplayer card game for 2–5 players, with games lasting about 90 minutes. Each player takes the role of a legendary hero and battles the others until only one hero is left standing.

Designed for fast and exciting play, Hero: Tales of the Tomes keeps the outcome uncertain. Potential twists and comebacks mean that players never truly have to feel out of the game, even as the battle develops.

One of the game’s most distinctive features is its shared deck. Rather than bringing an individual deck to the table, all players play from one common deck throughout the game.

  • Play as a legendary hero.
  • Battle in a multiplayer game for 2–5 players.
  • Use one shared deck for the whole table.
  • Enjoy twists and comebacks that can keep the game in doubt.

Because there is no prior deck building or collecting required, getting started is straightforward. You can simply gather a few friends, sit down, and begin playing without preparing a personal collection first.

Released in 2018, Hero: Tales of the Tomes offers a focused way to enjoy a competitive hero battle with friends. Its shared-deck approach sets it apart from other card games while supporting an accessible, exciting game experience.
