Alicematic Heroes

About this board game

Alicematic Heroes is a strategy game for 3–5 players that plays in about 80 minutes, casting players as leaders of rival teams rebuilding Wonderland after an invasion of Nothing.

The Queen of Hearts summoned Alice to restore the land, but accidentally called forth whole armies of Alices instead. Each player commands a handful of these Alices, using five colored player boards to organize their growing kingdom.

On each turn, summon an Alice from your hand to the matching color board by paying her dream-power cost with yellow dream cards or dream tokens. If you can pay, immediately resolve her Megalomania power. If you cannot, you may choose another card or place the Alice face down as a commoner. Commoners cost nothing, let you draw a card, and increase the power of one color, but provide no Megalomania bonus.

• Summon: Play an Alice or commoner while managing dream power.
• Invade: Use military and mobility power or tokens to conquer territories on the modular hex map.
• Expand: Claim bonuses, capture cities for points and footholds, or leave a territory under attack for a later turn.

Territories can reward military, mobility, or dream tokens, Alice cards, or victory points. Mystic forests require surrounding player-controlled territories, and only the player or players with the most surrounding territories may capture them.

After fourteen rounds, players score for territorial majorities in each hex, color-based Alice majorities, and Megalomania effects. In Alicematic Heroes, the player with the most points wins.
