Kill The Hero Playtest

About This Game

Your ultimate goal is within reach – world domination is close.

Deep beneath the earth lies your domain. This is where you can complete your grand plan. But driven by curiosity, brave fools keep coming to rob you. Their gold is the key to your rule.

Your advantage: You are smarter than these “heroes”. Let them in, well prepared, and fulfill your destiny.

01 Build a Dungeon That Does the Killing for You

Prepare your dungeon for the coming threat. Expand it with new rooms, build traps and arrange them into deadly combinations. Create guards and place them strategically so they can actively support your defenses during battle.

02 Let the Heroes In

Once your dungeon is ready, let the “heroes” in. They enter your domain in search of glory and loot. But every step brings them closer to their doom. Now you will find out whether your dungeon lives up to its promise.

03 Play Your Cards Wisely

You are not defenseless. Use strategic deck building to expand your deck with powerful cards. Play them at the right moment, because a well-timed card can decisively change the course of a battle.

04 Grow Stronger

Every defeated hero brings you gold. Invest it in new research, unlock more traps, guards and upgrades, and improve your dungeon from round to round.

05 Build the World Domination Machine

The heroes’ gold is the key to your rule. Use it to complete the components of your World Domination Machine. Finish your masterpiece and seize world domination.
