New game from a first-time indie designer launching on Kickstarter on May 19.
G. Wesley Cone – father, pastor, teacher, and now game designer – launches a Kickstarter to seek funding to publish HERO: The Card Game. HERO is a game of recruitment and sky battle. As Elders, train up a new generation of Ghostwalkers. Narnia & The Last Airbender meet steampunk–merging modern tabletops, deckbuilders and TCGs together to bring diverse gamers to the same table. Your fate is your choice.
Following extensive worldwide playtesting to refine the game, HERO: The Card Game will launch on Kickstarter as a fully completed game for 2-4 people, with finished art & design work and no need for booster packs. The Kickstarter campaign will feature the game for $17. The game is being produced fully in the USA and hard copies only be available to US backers. US production & shipping ensures that backers will receive their copies of the game within months, not years. International gamers interested in the game can pledge at a lower tier to receive two fully completed digital copies, a print-and-play and a Tabletop Simulator version (Tabletop Simulator Software not included).
About the game:
Cataclysm after cataclysm. Earth has been renamed Tempo, and a new cast of heroes from the multifarious cultures of a broken world have arisen readying themselves for the next crisis to come.
As Elders, players train up a dystopic menagerie of new recruits. This new generation of Ghostwalkers battle it out in the skies of eternity. But, as with the heroes of yesteryear, death is elusive. What appears to be sure defeat more often than not is but a temporary setback.
Start by drafting your abilities and a lone starting hero to protect your SkyBase. Each turn, choose one of four actions listed in the title acronym: Heal, Enhance, Recruit, or Overcome. Draft your team, build your engine, train with explosive hidden abilities, and – when the timing is right – unleash a sudden One Turn Win.
