Description

Hero or Villain: Battle Royale –The Card Game- is a fast-paced game where you and your friends trade blows as super-powered individuals. Aside from combat elimination, the game also has social deduction and Russian-roulette mechanisms that will ensure only one is left alive by the time players go through one entire deck. The game is designed for 2 to 5 players, and takes 10 – 15 minutes to play.

On your turn, you can play any number of power cards to influence the game, or try to attack other players to eliminate them. Players may verbally challenge you if they feel your character does not have the ability to use a certain power, forcing you to lose some cards if you were indeed not telling the truth. At the end of your turn you must finish by drawing one card, and if you draw a Demolition card you will be eliminated from the game if you do not have any cards left to defend or heal yourself. If you are still alive after you draw a demolition card, then you will place the card back in the deck at a place of your choice, which may be later triggered by another player and remove them from the game!

There are a total of 6 playable characters, all appearing in the Hero or Villain gamebook series.
