What People Say

I bought two copies of the game. One is for at home with my family and to take to events where board games are played. The other is a copy I play at work with friends. Every time I play, there are tons of surprises. The artwork on the cards is awesome and filled with all sorts of funny tropes. The rule book is even fun to read and filled with all sorts of Easter eggs. It may be only a board game, but there is lots of little fun and personality to be found throughout the four heroes of the game. I couldn't recommend this game more

This is a cute, fast playing game. Lots of push your luck strategy. The theme is light hearted but the play is addicting and fun. Very quick to set up and something you want to replay again and again. Excited to see more from these developers.

I played a demo at Geekway to the West, met the designers, had a great time! The game is super creative, the storytelling of the Tone Deaf Bards is incredible, and the game has great art. I love the play style and mechanics of the game.

This is a creative and fun game. My kids (10-14) picked up on it super fast; they ended up teaching me how to play. We like to try games that are from small mom and pops and this one was very well done. Would highly recommend!

Very fun, quick card game. roll dice, collect rats, beat your opponents. fun characters with unique abilities mirror the classes of old (wizard, bard, etc). easy to learn, fun to play, any age. a great I've breaker game for game night or a two player game at home.

Great art. The tongue in cheek cards are good for a laugh. Easy & quick to learn. The replayability is very high. The age range for fun is also high. Highly recommend!

Lots of cheeky jokes and dice rolling. The game is a lot of fun and the characters all have very unique mechanics that makes their personality shine. The card arts and design choices add a lot of fun.

Content

If you like dice, you are sure to like Unsung Heroes. The game is packed with 51 dice, and in 4 player games, you will be using most of them.

The game also comes with 4 player decks each featuring a unique play style, and minions to fight against. There is also a treasure deck for you to loot after beating each minion.

Unsung Heroes is available for Anyone

We firmly believe that no one should not have access to good games due to the expense. Where able, we make our games available for download. We just ask that is you are not already signed up for our newsletter, you consider trading us your email for the cards =)

Also, to play Unsung Heroes, you will need a fair amount of 4, 6, and 8 sided dice. Sadly, we haven’t figured out a way for you to download these, but there are dice roll generators online to be used.

How to Play

Gameplay is simple and straightforward. Play a card, gain a die or increase your score, and fight to end the round with the highest score. The winner gets a permanent powerup and treasure to help fight the King Rat!

Fight the King Rat in the last round, and whoever wins the last round wins the game!

The strategy comes in where you can play as many cards you want each round, but only draw 2 cards at the end of each round. Do you have what it takes to spend your resources wisely to outlast the competition?

Additional Resources

The Heroes

Each character has their own play style while being balanced in strength. If you are new to gaming, try out Wanda or Alfred. If you like chaos, look to Jerry. And if you like to plan in advance, Tilda is your girl.

Alfred Nobelt

Alfred plays a very methodical and measured game. His cards give static bonuses that allow him to play for tiebreakers or achieve the win with little wasted effort. After all, it doesn’t matter if you have the high score by 1 or 100, you’re still the champ!

Wanda The Wonderous

Wanda goes big or goes home as only Wanda can do. Never mind who has the high score, Wanda’s cards give her dice, dice and more dice! The luck ever being in her favor, when Wanda rolls a 1, it EXPLODES and gives her another die to roll!

Jerry "Fatfingers" McGee

Whereas Alfred likes to pretend he has a strategy, and Wanda plays with a lot of dice, Jerry plays with your mind. His cards let him swap and reroll dice causing just the right amount of mayhem.

Dr. Tilda O'Leary

Like any good hippy, Tilda is all about reducing, reusing, and recycling. Her cards let her play cards out of the discard pile. This lets her play her better cards to bait out her opponents better cards, only to reuse the same cards in a later round.

Make Your Own Card!

Design your own identity card and become part of the game! Choose from any character as a template and import your own image and add your own name!

Once designed, you can download it free of charge.

Get The Expansion!

After the King Rat was defeated, the Queen Pixie seized her oppurtunity. Never letting a crisis going to waste, her band of pixies started terrorizing the local populace. A new group of misfits formed together to put a stop to the menace.
