'Hero Realms'

White Wizard Games will release Hero Realms, a fantasy version of the company’s successful science fiction deck building game Star Realms (see “ ’Star Realms’ Passes 50,000 Units ”), this fall.

Hero Realms will be crowdfunded via Kickstarter, with the campaign launching soon. The campaign will include a retailer level, White Wizard CEO Rob Dougherty told ICv2. Kickstarter backers will be fulfilled in the summer; the product will ship to trade in Fall.

A new gameplay feature will be added, according to Dougherty. With an expansion, Hero Realms will have an optional “play vs. the game” version that can be played in a campaign mode, with a character that can be leveled up over time.

The new line will use the same packaging and prices as Star Realms.
