Hero Realms is a small-box deckbuilding game that allows for 2 to 4 player games without the need to purchase additional copies. It includes basic rules for two-player games and rules for multiplayer formats such as Free-For-All, Hunter, and Hydra.
- Each player starts the game with a personal deck of ten cards containing gold (for buying) and weapons (for combat). You summon champions and engage in a relentless battle to be the last surviving player, strategizing to reduce your opponents' life points to zero before they do the same to you.
- The player begins each turn with a new hand of five cards from their personal deck. When your deck runs out of cards, you shuffle your discard pile into a new deck.
- All players share a common market deck of 80 cards, from which five cards are revealed to form the market row. During play, you use gold to buy champion cards and action cards from the common Market. These champions and actions can generate large amounts of gold, combat, or other powerful effects.
- When you reduce your opponent's score (called health) to zero, you win the game!
