Siegfried, Snow White, D'Artagnan, Red Riding Hood, and the other heroes of the twelve realms are being reunited for one last great adventure. The Dark Lords have joined forces to completely conquer and subjugate all the known Lands, and only the combined efforts of all the greatest heroes can halt their nefarious plan.
12 Realms is a fast, lighthearted cooperative miniature game for 1 to 6 players. All players must band together to stop the Dark Lords' overwhelming hordes from pillaging the 12 Realms. Individual invaders can be defeated by using each hero's different talents, but to vanquish the Dark Lords you must claim a powerful artifact.
In their quest to stop the invasion, the heroes can travel together between different lands, or they can try to single-handedly defend a Realm. Each of the 12 Realms is an individual land, with different treasures and events, and populated by unique creatures.

Quotes (from this video)
- I have access to the next character which it might not be a big deal by the time you see this all of them might be out but it's big for me
- shifting Focus once per travel or once per battle one equipment you use can count as if it was one rank higher or lower
- mental manipulation at any time discard a diamond to replace a drawn card with one of the top three from the deck
- the deck runs out we lose so you don't want combat to go on too long
- really really enjoying this
- a lot more room to navigate that by changing your equipment with the shifting focus and trying to get like the perfect block or land on the perfect HP amount with your shifting Focus really really cool
