Description

Oh no! A group of monsters has taken all the drinks in Barcadia! They've hoarded them away in an ever-changing dungeon, so it's up to you, brave adventurer, to reclaim the precious Drink Hoard!

Heroes of Barcadia is a 2-6 player tile-based, dungeon-crawling tabletop party game with a liquid twist: your character’s health is measured by the drink in your glass. It uses the Liquid Life System™ to determine HP, and the liquid you put in it is up to you. Will you use soda, water, alcohol, or another beverage of your choice?

Build out your dungeon, fight monsters, collect Power-Ups to advance your character's abilities, and use Loot Cards to stop your opponents from reaching the Grand Drink Guardian first. Nice guys finish last in this fast-paced, ever-changing, pun-tastic party game, so come ready to rum-ble and bring your thirst for adventure!

Includes:

6x Plastic Health Bar Character Cups

Cups feature character art on the front, and the measurements for the Liquid Life System™ on the back.

6x Plastic Signature Move Cards
57x Plastic Room Tiles
16x Plastic Trap Tokens
75x Plastic Loot Cards + 5 Plastic DIY Loot Cards
25x Plastic Power-Up Cards
6x Plastic Reference Cards
6x 20-sided dice that correspond with the Character Cups

Quotes (from this video)
  • So, uh, these are the best expansions coming to retail in September.
  • Unfortunately my mic keeps failing and uh I'm still traveling so I have no way to fix this or deal with this right now and I have tried to record this video a bunch of times and I cannot get the microphones to work and I do not know what's going on and I'm very frustrated.
  • So, you know, kind of just makes it a more chill experience.
  • And so, you know, it's not really changing the game, but it's adding a lot more cards and a lot more content to explore.
  • As always, I hope you found something that you like.
  • Sorry for the technical difficulties. I'm annoyed by it.
  • So, uh, here there's the information for you.
