About the game

What is Keep the Heroes Out!

An asymmetric, cooperative dungeon defense game where you play as the monsters protecting their hard earned treasures against invading hordes of looters (so-called heroes) trying to steal it.

In their turn players draw 5 cards and play, these cards allow them to move, activate the tiles they are to perform the tiles actions, attack heroes, and move their units around. After each player, draw and perform cards from the heroes deck.

Your goal as a team in every scenario is to survive the 2 waves of invading heroes by protecting the treasures on each room. If the main treasure is taken, the game ends and you lose, but if you manage to protect the treasures for long enough, you all win.

Great coop game that plays even better with the rules Partners in Crime. Production quiality is over the charts, Luis the creator has made a great job. Easy to play, each faction has is own cards and gameplay style. 100% recomended

The meeples for this game and the art of the cards and tiles is simply gorgeous. The deckbuilding and the "push your luck" prison mechanic really do it for me too.

Jugados todos los escenarios. Todos y cada uno disfrutables y rejugables totalmente. Jugabilidad muy variada dependiendo del personaje utilizado. Opción para solo, coop y pvp de hasta 6 jugadores o incluso 8 con reglas de fisionar turnos de jugadores por parejas. Original y divertido. Una auténtica pasada.
