About this board game

Hyperstar Run is a solo card game for one player that plays in about 15 minutes. Take on the final level of the Hyperstar base, using button cards and tactical planning to escape before your four available runs are exhausted.

Choose a difficulty and deal random level cards to create the level row. Start with a hand of three level cards and two equipment cards, then reveal the leftmost level card and begin advancing through the base. Each card presents dangerous enemies, and you must beat either enemy to move forward.

Buttons are your key to survival. Use them by discarding cards from your hand or by pressing buttons on previously passed level cards, moving those cards down from the row. Level cards may also let you reveal information or manipulate the level, while combo lines can connect across several cards and keep you moving with only one button usage per card.

  • Select a difficulty and build a random level row.
  • Use level cards, equipment cards, and button presses to defeat enemies.
  • Link combo lines across multiple cards for efficient progress.
  • Learn from failed attempts and reset for another run.

If you fail a level card, mark off one of your hero’s runs and start again. Take your discards back into hand, unpress buttons in the level row, and draw the first card in the row into your hand. The information gained from each attempt can help you prepare for the next one.

Complete every level card without losing all four runs to win. For an additional challenge, Hyperstar Run includes four unique achievements; earn them all to reach 100% completion.
