Heroes' Stand
About this game
In Heroes' Stand, players work together to defend against a horde of advancing monsters. Each monster that slips past your defense costs the party one Health — and you only have three. Deploy your Heroes, equip them with powerful gear, and team up with other players to combine your strength for devastating attacks. But choose wisely: not every Hero needs to fight every monster, and the Equipment cards you earn from victory will shape your strategy for the battles ahead. Heroes' Stand is a cooperative card game for 1–6 players. Each turn, a new monster appears and players decide who fights, whether to team up or go it alone, and how to spend their Equipment. The game features three-digit addition at its core, making it a natural (and sneaky) way for younger players to practice mental math while having fun. With a flexible player count, quick setup, and rounds that play in under an hour, it works equally well as a family game night staple or a classroom tool.
