Hometown Heroes is a Superhero-themed card game by Roger Alan Cotton for two players, ages 11 to adult. Play Time ranges from 30 to 90 minutes, depending on how many episodes are played. The starter version of the game comes with seven Comic Book Issues, made up of twenty-one episodes. Expansions will introduce new comic book issues, episodes, and characters. Players play out a "comic book issue," which is comprised of three Episodes. Each episode lists objectives worth different amounts of Victory Points. The player whose team of superheroes or super villains completes objectives worth the highest number of Victory Points by the end of the comic book issue, wins. As your characters complete Episode Card objectives, you gain Victory Point Counters equal to the objectives' VP Values.
