Shuffle Heroes

About the game

Shuffle Heroes is fast-paced card game for 2 players set in the dark fantasy steampunk world filled with Lovecraftian monstrosities. In the game you draft two heroes each with deck of cards with unique mechanics and shuffle them together - this forms your draw deck. Aim of the game is to defeat enemy heroes either by killing them or wearing them down. You can destroy opponents cards from his deck, so you strongly influence what he will draw in his next shuffle - so called deck de-construction.

Game is standalone, so you will find everything you need in one box. Game will be done in 3 languages variants: English, German and Czech.

"I've traveled the world with only one purpose. The voices in my head keep on yelling and I have to continue in my search..."

World of Shuffle Heroes

Universe torn apart to many shards by great catastrophe. One of these shards hosts defiant race of humans formerly guarded by strict and fundamental angels, but in wake of the booming industrial revolution humans shed the chains of their overseers unknowing what demonic powers tries to overtake their world.

World of Shuffle heroes is now full of creatures from other worlds beyond human comprehension, but the empire ruled by power mongering oligarchs is oblivious to any of that and continues to mine deeper, pollute what is left of their nature and making a life for poor struggling in a squalor living hell.

You can anticipate more stories from Shuffle Heroes universe, which we will release during the campaign.

Inside the game

There are 6 different heroes in the game each with it's unique mechanics represented by deck of cards.

Each game you draft two heroes and shuffle their decks together, forming your draw deck. That provides lot of possibilities for different deck combinations while keeping the deck construction fast and easy.

Game-play is pretty straight forward, during your turn you either play a card, activate your hero or replenish your hand, but if played right you can chain effects together with devastating outcomes.

Your ultimate goal is to defeat enemy heroes either by reducing their health to zero or wearing them down by destroying cards from their deck.

One of the main mechanics in Shuffle Heroes is so called deck-deconstruction, during the game you can decide which cards you destroy from opponent's deck, this decision heavily influences what your opponent can draw in the next turns.
