Heroes for Sale (2023)

About this game

In 2077, the world is dominated by huge corporations. All they care about is money, more precisely: credit. In Heroes for Sale, you enter a dynamic card duel and send superheroes into the game round after round. Whoever bids the most gets the heroes and tries to take over the opponent's bases. During the game, players will hire heroes and use these to destroy the bases of the opponent. However, the heroes have no morals, and if the opponent is willing to pay more, they will not hesitate to turn their back on you. Each turn involve you attacking with all your heroes followed by playing our a new hero. Your opponent gets to make an offer for recruiting that hero, and you may either let them have it or overbid to get the hero yourself.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.9/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
