About this game

A card/board game for 1-5 players with a non-linear episodic storyline that pits players as epic heroes vs a great evil. 1-4 Players may assume the role of mighty heroes while another player may take the reins of the great evil in an attempt to stop them. The heroes will go on random drawn side quests or engage in challenging main quests to thwart the advance of evil and save the world. The game has a RPG feel as you use dice to battle your way through dungeons, ruins and even full scale wars gaining level and powerful artifacts along the way in your journey to become a legend. Encounter special locations, build a retinue of helpful NPCs and see where your adventure takes you. —description from the designer
