Description

Get ready to go from zero to hero in this exciting board game designed by Martin Wallace. Released in 2024, Zero to Hero is a tile-based trick-taking game that's perfect for 3 to 5 players looking for a fun and challenging experience. The game is easy to learn, with simple rules that get you started quickly, and plays out in just 30 to 45 minutes. But don't let the simplicity fool you - the game is full of twists and turns that will keep you on your toes. In Zero to Hero, winning or losing points isn't just about playing the highest value tile. The game's unique mechanics, which combine deduction, trick-taking, and highest-lowest scoring, mean that strategy and clever thinking are just as important as luck. You can win a trick with a lowly 2 if you're the only player to play a tile of that suit, and coming in second can be just as valuable as coming in first. And if things are going really badly, don't worry - you can still turn it all around and go from zero to hero if you can win five or more points in the next hand. With its unique blend of abstract strategy and party game elements, Zero to Hero is a game that's sure to delight players of all ages and skill levels.
