Four victory conditions that are not equals

Kingslayer, Prestige, Spirit Stone and Rot, of which only Prestige collects passively when the others fail.

Attacking the King strips almost all your Prestige

the obvious route is priced, which turns a race into a game of nerve.

Fights are decided by burning cards

each card burned locks one die to a chosen symbol, with no limit, so a full hand beats a high Fight stat.

Corruption inverts two dice faces

for a corrupted hero Worms explode and Wyld symbols miss, so the Rot rewrites your dice rather than just adding risk.

Every hero spends exactly sixteen stat points

the roster is balanced by construction, and the differences live in Gold, affinity and abilities.

Honest caveats

the design rewards patience, which can make a four-player table slow, and much of the 24-hero roster sits behind DLC.
