Misfit Heroes (2025)

Overview

After a cataclysmic interdimensional event of unprecedented scale, Earth was forever transformed when a fantastical realm merged with our own. This convergence birthed a new land called Absurdia, a place where magical creatures coexist with ordinary people, and the most improbable combinations of beings and professions thrive—from monster-accountants to cosmic wedding planners. There’s no returning to the way things were in this strange new world. In *Misfit Heroes*, players form crews with the aim of gaining influence and winning over the hearts and minds of the citizens in nearby regions. The character cards used in the game are unique with each playthrough, ensuring a fresh experience every time. Before a game begins, players create their deck by combining character transparencies with attribute cards in card sleeves. The combinations are endless, and the surprises never stop—players won’t know which characters they’ll have at their disposal until they begin the game. During play, each character card grants special abilities—such as earning money, drawing additional cards, and, most importantly, gaining influence in the kingdom’s mountain, forest, sea, and city regions. When a player accumulates six influence in one of these regions, they can claim it, earning valuable points. The player who best utilizes their characters and combinations to gain the most points wins, proving their mastery of the absurd world of Absurdia.
