Here to Slay Base Game

I recently picked up Unstable Games - Here to Slay, and it has quickly become one of our go-to games for game night! If you’re a fan of strategy, humor, and a bit of friendly competition, this is a must-have. 1. Easy to Learn, but Strategically Deep The game is really easy to pick up, which is great for both beginners and more experienced gamers. The objective is simple: build your party of heroes and monsters while trying to be the first to slay a monster or be the last one standing. However, the strategic depth is where it shines. You need to think carefully about the cards you play, how you build your team, and when to take risks. 2. Fun and Unique Characters The game features a variety of fun characters (heroes and monsters), each with its own abilities and quirky personalities. The cards are full of humor, which makes gameplay even more enjoyable. My friends and I have had a great time making funny combos and using special abilities to outsmart each other! 3. Great Replayability Every game of Here to Slay feels different thanks to the random nature of the cards. With so many different heroes, monsters, and abilities, no two games are ever the same. It’s easy to see this becoming a replayable favorite for our group. Plus, the base game already has a good amount of variety, and there are expansions available if you want to add even more content. 4. Fun for 2 to 6 Players This game works well whether you’re playing with just a couple of people or a larger group. It’s easy to scale, and the dynamics change based on how many players are involved, making it fun for any group size. 5. Quick Play Time Another great thing about Here to Slay is that it doesn’t take hours to play. A typical game lasts between 30-45 minutes, making it perfect for a quick game night or as part of a longer game session. Final Thoughts If you’re looking for a strategic card game that’s easy to learn, fun to play, and offers a lot of variety, Unstable Games - Here to Slay is an excellent choice. It’s a perfect blend of strategy, humor, and excitement that everyone can enjoy. Highly recommend it! Pros: Easy to learn, but plenty of strategic depth Fun, humorous characters and abilities Great replayability with varied gameplay Works well for 2 to 6 players Quick, fun game time (30-45 minutes) Con: Can be a bit chaotic with larger groups, but that's part of the fun!

The First Impression: If you’ve played Unstable Unicorns, you’ll recognize the "cute but deadly" art style immediately. The card stock is high quality with a nice finish, and the character designs are genuinely fun to look at. It’s one of those games that looks inviting on the table but has a surprising amount of strategic depth once you start playing. Performance & Testing: I’ve tested this with both 2 players and 3 players, and it’s a blast either way: 2-Player Experience: It feels more like a tactical duel. You really have to watch your opponent’s party closely. It’s fast-paced and perfect for a quick game night. 3-Player Experience: The dynamic changes slightly—there’s more "take-that" energy as you have to decide who to sabotage. Ease of Learning: The mechanics are straightforward enough that we were able to get through the first game without constantly checking the rulebook. It's a great "bridge" game for people who aren't into heavy tabletop RPGs but want something more engaging than standard card games. The "Wobble": The game can be a bit "swingy" depending on your luck with the dice. If you have a string of bad rolls while trying to slay a monster, it can be frustrating, but that’s also part of the charm and the tension of the game. The Final Verdict: We really enjoy pulling this out from time to time. It’s a perfect mix of "super cute" and "super fun." Whether you’re looking for a new date-night game or something to play with a small group of friends, this is a solid addition to the shelf.

Here to Slay was purchased on a whim because I liked the art and thought it looked cute. Turns out it's been a solid purchase. My husband and I are always looking for good two-player games that can be played with more people. This one manages to be fun and a little bit challenging while also being good as a two-person game. It's also not overly time consuming. There's enough strategy and card variety that every game plays a little differently. It helps that the design of the game is colorful and cute. I also like that there are several win conditions (slay 3 monsters or assemble a whole party of 6 character types) since it means there's multiple strategies to winning. It's as fun for 2 as it is for 6. Great game.

Howdy All, I'm going to start off by saying buy the game. The base game AND the expansion are very much worth it. If you are sitting there debating it, don't. Literally get this game if it does interest you. I was the same way until I bought then played with with friends/family. It's is very fun once you do a few rounds with the rules. I'll give a few simple drop of Pros/Cons. Before I start I wanted to explain that even with the Cons the game is still very enjoyable. Pros: ==== - In-depth rules that explains ever in/out of the entire game +has little handy rules reference cards for each player to look to for shorthand explanations for their turn. - Simple but lovely designs for the different Classes/Animals/ Monsters. - Relatively short gameplay session ( 30-60 minutes ), could be longer if there are more people. - Playing with 2 players can work without much issue. - Children of all ages can play this, Played this with ages ranging from 3ys-60yrs. So yeah you can play this with literally anyone. - Gameplay is enjoyable as you have a lot of options for how you want to run your party + strategy to weaken/set back other plays while trying to win yourself. - Difficulty to reach via dice rolls ( +, - ) are reasonable, and do come with risk/reward. Cons: ===== - The Modifier cards can stack which can make the difficulty curve for rolls for Monsters/Challenge cards higher or lower depending on who it is targeted at. Not necessarily a too bad thing but it can get annoying real quick. - Challenge cards go hand, and hand with the above. Two players who are in a challenge roll then use their modifiers to boost or decrease the rolls is fine, but outside parties who were not apart of the initial challenge card can affect dice rolls as well as use their modifier which can be played at any time to effect rolls for other plays. This is more of a personal gripe which can be solved by using a house roll but can be annoying. - Limited characters/ Customization. I love this game, I wish to make this super duper clear, I love playing it whenever I get the chance. I do need to say that on the box + in the above product's description it does say you can customize your own party leader card from their website - this is true. I do wish they would let you design your own party cards as well other than the party leader as I think it could give more creativity to the game and make for some good counters etc. The art and current classes/animals are all super well designed, and balanced as most have a good counter. - There is not another expansion! Jokes aside, I do wish they could come out with another expansion as there are a lot of opportunities for classes/animals to use. - Lastly as I stated in the first bullet of the 'pros', the In-depth rules. Holding the rules next to me as I type this I recall the first time I laid eyes on this bad boy. It opens up to be a mini-poster of rules that while in-depth in detail about how to play, it can be a lot when you first open it up fully. There is a front/back that you need to read which is fine but as I said can be a lot. During my first 2-4 games of playing, you do need to look back towards the rules when debates over how a card is to be played or to check for trivial info until it sort of clicks. That being said most games will have you doing that so that isn't the biggest deal in my opinion. Playing with younger kids can be difficult due to the amount of rules but reciting it a few times, checking rules and you should be fine. I don't write many reviews but I felt I just had to gush about this game, a tad biased probably due to my enjoyment but I do truly love this game. Hope these help with your decision, and hope you try out this fun card game.

I love this game me and my brother played it for hours the cards look amazing and it isn’t super hard to learn we even put our own spin on it to make the game last a little longer all In all great game 🤩

We played this game for the first time with some friends on a trip and had a blast, so we decided to purchase it for ourselves. It's a really fun game that requires you to be tactical while also having a bit of luck when it comes to drawing your cards. We've played it as a regular group game before and we've also played in couple 'teams' and both were fun. HOWEVER I will say that this is not the game for you if you don't want to spend some time learning it. If you're just expecting to pick a new game and hit the ground running immediately, I would say that this is not for you unless you're used to turn-based, strategic games of similar caliber. We're new to the gaming scene but we do feel like it's similar to Drunk Quest if anyone's familiar with that. I would say that both when my husband and I were learning the game, and our friends after we bought it, we spent a good 15-20 minutes at least trying to get a grasp of the game. There are a lot of random cards and rules that you need to get the hang of before you can fully dive in. We've found it helpful to just outline the rules first and then try to teach the rest as we go. Definitely worth it though if you're willing to put in the time. Getting the expansion passes makes the game even more fun, in my opinion. We the necromancer and druid expansion passes and I think it makes game play even more fun, however it's certainly not required!

I played this with some friends when their 7-year-old was excited to teach us how to play. My 7-year-old loved it so naturally we ordered our own copy. The game is simple. You have a couple actions to take each turn and you must assemble a team of every class or defeat 3 monsters. It requires some luck using 2 dice but also a bit of strategy. We had a blast and my so. Was able to come up with a combo move to beat me quickly. He used magic to mask one of his heroes and then destroyed another one of mine with another spell and then used ANOTHER spell to retrieve my dead hero from the discard pile. I was quite impressed. This game is a light and easy game to pick up and if a 7-year-old can master it and beat someone 6 times their age then anyone can learn to play it and have some fun! My son loved the graphics, names of creatures, and the variety of cards and was excited to learn expansion packs exist. My only complaint was that the plastic wrap on the deck of cards seemed rather tight and the cards were slightly warped to start but shuffling straightened that out after our first play.

Fantastic game with creative components. The art is gorgeous. The Hero’s actions are fun and creative. I’m not sure if the rules do clarify this and I missed it, but I’ve added the home rule of being able to challenge a challenge card. It adds a fun chaotic twist. Love how there’s a couple different options to win and often find it tends to be close and quick games.

I bought this game to play as a family with my 13-year-old daughter and my 11-year-old son. Once the rules were understood, it was very easy to play and provides a lot of fun. It is good that it has several ways to win, either by amassing heroes or by killing monsters, which opens the door for strategy. We are looking forward to many games of it. Please note that this is a game with a degree of strategy and thought. If you are into more lighthearted games, I would recommend other types of games.

Çizimlerini çok sevdik çok fazla hero seçeneği olduğu için illaki içlerinde favorileriniz oluyor çocuklarla oynandığında stratejilerini geliştirmek için çok faydalı olabilir. Ben hep açıklamalarda 6 ana karakter 3 ana düşman var diye görüyordum ama çok fazla karakter ve düşman her birinin kendine özel yetenekleri var..

A real gem of a game. Features heavy "Take That" themes where players really work to undo each other. In larger groups it becomes more political. Lots of replayability.

É um jogo muito divertido e com bastante estratégia envolvida. Joguei várias vezes com meus amigos e ficamos completamente maravilhados com esse jogo! É uma pena que ele não tenha localização/tradução brasileira

Quick delivery and product is of the same, as per description.
