About the game
In Hero Realms Dungeons, players each choose a character and will need that character's Character Pack and Adventure deck. Dungeons comes with the Alchemist and Barbarian Character Packs and Adventure Decks, so you can play a 1 or 2 player campaign right out of the box. The included 12-encounter campaign transforms Hero Realms Dungeons from a PVP game into a solo or cooperative game that combines a deckbuilding with roleplaying game-style adventures! Each encounter comes inside an envelope. When you are ready to play, just open up the envelope and follow the instructions. They will continue the story, tell you how to set up the game, and give you any special rules for the encounter. The all-new 80 card market deck can be played on its own or combined with the Hero Realms base set or any other Hero Realms expansion. This deck features 20 cards of each Hero Realms factions. —description from the publisher
