About this board game
Crossroads of Heroes is a strategic martial arts game for 2–5 players, with play taking about 90 minutes. Set in the world of Chinese Wuxia, it casts each player as a hero seeking to become the next Grand Master of Wulin.
Choose a character from one of five venerated sects: Emei, Shaolin, Beggar, Wudang, or Kunlun. Every journey begins with a virtuous character, but the choices you make can change the course of your story and determine how you pursue victory.
On your turn, decide how to develop your hero and gain an advantage over your rivals. You may train in ancient martial arts techniques, challenge others in duels, employ stratagems, search for food and items, or travel through the Jianghu.

The game’s central challenge is not only to win, but also to decide how you will reach that goal. If you employ too many evil methods, your character becomes Evil Scum and must follow a dark path to victory.
With its focus on personal decisions and links to your character, Crossroads of Heroes offers a strategic Wuxia adventure where honor, ambition, and corruption shape every player’s route through the Jianghu.
