Congratulations, future Heroes! You have been accepted into Hero High, the most decorated Academy for supernaturally gifted young adults. In Hero High, you will hone your superpowers, complete daring assignments, participate in school events, and discover yourself as you compete to become the most prestigious of Hero High students! Buckle up, because this year is sure to be one for the books!
Hero High takes place over the course of 2 semesters, each 2 rounds long. During each round, players (also referred to as students) will train in feats of heroism, attend extra-curriculars, and complete heroic assignments, which they will use to gain Prestige. Whoever has the most Prestige by the end of the school year wins the game and will place themselves among the most decorated of Hero High alumni!
Hero High has elements of worker placements, set collection, and dice rolling. Players inhabit different facilities at school, growing their distinct superpowers and becoming stronger heroes. Who will become one of Hero High's decorated alumni?
