A quasi-cooperative, monster slaying, hero (deck) building, worker placement game for 2-4 players.
In the land of Zug, being a hero is a way of life! Children spend their days training to defeat the monsters that inhabit the surrounding wilderness in seemingly unending numbers. As a right of passage, all young adults must head out in to the wilderness and survive an adventure of epic proportions. Those who return become Heroes and spend the rest of their days telling the tales of the harrowing creatures and near defeat experienced.
You are one such group of young adults, ready to forge your own story! With the help of a few apprentices you will depart the safety and comfort of your village and embark upon an epic adventure.
Defeat the Big Boss and survive to tell your tale! Fail, and fall into obscurity.
