Description

In the world of Heroes for Sale, the lines between good and evil are blurred, and loyalty is a luxury that only the highest bidder can afford. This fast-paced card game, designed by Christian Kudahl and published in 2023, drops you into a dynamic duel where you'll recruit superheroes to do your bidding and take down your opponent's bases. With easy-to-learn rules, you'll be up and running in no time, sending heroes into battle and trying to outmaneuver your opponent in a game that's over in just 20 minutes. As you play, you'll need to balance your bids and bluff your way to victory, using hand management and take-that mechanics to stay one step ahead. But be warned: the heroes you recruit are mercenaries at heart, and if your opponent is willing to pay more, they'll turn on you in a heartbeat. Each turn, you'll attack with your heroes, play a new one, and then face a tough decision: let your opponent recruit them, or overbid to keep them on your side. With its unique blend of auction, betting, and bluffing mechanics, Heroes for Sale is a thrilling science fiction card game that's perfect for two players looking for a quick and intense showdown.
