Read the full game description

Micro Hero: Hercules compresses a campaign deck-builder into a small pack of cards. Each labor asks Hercules to manage strength, equipment, companions, wounds, and a chain of card effects against a distinct mythic challenge. Defeated trials unlock new cards and powers, while the campaign can be paused between labors and resumed later. Solo play needs one copy; the supported two-player challenge requires two copies of the game.
