Meet The Heroes
Hardy and disciplined. Gains one defense when attacking, making him the most reliable frontline slayer.
After striking, Constance may push herself further, sacrificing her own health as extra damage — even at the cost of her life.
A resourceful tracker. Gains +1 attack for each item he wields (up to two at a time), turning simple gear into deadly combos.
A master of foresight and destructive spells. She may peek at the top of her deck before drawing, and her arcane blasts can strike up to three monsters at once.
The Hunt Begins
The portal has torn open, and the forest teems with monsters. Each turn, you choose how your hero strikes back — every decision can turn the tide of battle. On your turn, pick a single action: strike monsters, heal, or rise from the dead.
-
Swing your cards against fearsome foes. Combine items for devastating combos, land the killing blow, and claim loot and trophies. Or weaken a monster and let a rival finish it and receive an Opportunity card. Timing is everything.
-
When your health falters, consume Food cards to recover. Eating also lets you cycle through your hand, preparing for the perfect strike or deadly combo.
-
Death is never the end. Sacrifice an Attack card to rise again, ready to hunt once more.
Every strike matters. Every decision shifts the hunt.
Monsters Lurk. Villains Await.
Dark creatures pour from the portal, terrorizing Forestvale. The forest teems with monsters — Vampires, Werewolves, Mummies, Zombies, Spirits, and Gargoyles — each guarding loot and testing your skills.
Each villain scenario adds powerful minions and a deadly boss to the hunt:
A cunning predator that drains the life of the weakest minions, growing stronger with every strike.
A fearsome leader who heals with the fury of its loyal pack.
Wreathed in the mummy’s curse, its presence spreads decay and strengthens its dark powers.
An unstoppable swarm, overrunning the battlefield and shielding every active monster in its path.
Every hunt is unique. Classic monsters roam the board, minions arrive to strengthen the villain’s forces, and the boss waits to strike when the time is right.
Treasures, Items, and Twists of Fate
Every monster hides loot — items, food, and treasure — waiting for the hero who strikes the killing blow.
Monster Guarding Loot
Loot Cards
But loot is more than shiny prizes: items carry weakness symbols (Alchemy, Fire, Holy) that turn attacks sharper and defenses stronger.

Fire

Even if a rival steals your kill, you’ll claim an Opportunity card — a one-time power to aid yourself, sabotage others, or save for points at the end.
Opportunity Card
Do you take the prize, or play the long game with fate on your side?
The Showdown
From the very first strike, you’re racing toward the ultimate test: the Villain.
The portal’s master — Vampire, Werewolf, Mummy, or Horde — rises last, stronger than anything you’ve faced.
Defeat them, and the game ends. Victory goes to the hero with the most glory, measured by treasures, trophies, and cunning use of Opportunity cards.
Do you have the strength to face the final horror — and the wits to claim victory when the dust settles?
