Heroes of Serendall update.

7th version of the game is in production.
Card designs are close to ready, I've overhauled balance issues, made the heroes and cards synergize, and nerfed a few cards in the process.

The game is now featured on BoardGameGeek, you can see it here
https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/429231/heroes-of-serendall If you like it, please give it a Heart or drop a comment.

I'm also creating a TableTop Simulator version of the game. First, I want to be able to create decks and play around with the deck.

Head over to Epiddice.dk to see the new card designs and read our updated get-started guide, https://www.epicdice.dk/get-started/

➡️ Remember to deduct mana from your mana pool, every time your heroes perform an action that costs mana.If you run out of mana, you are forced to only do

6th playtest testing session is completed.
Was a fun experience! Went much more smooth than the previous playtests, I feel the core mechanics are now in place, and it's down to the nitty gritty details of card balancing, class balances, and visual appeal.

I got enough feedback to have a 7th version of the cards made, which has been put in order now.

Once I get the new batch of cards, I will be looking to have a few more playtests, 1 unguided playtest, and 1 2v2 playtest.

Say tuned here for more updates from me, I am starting the process of creating a video guide for how to learn the game and play it.

Time for an update on the game development progress.

I have been conducting some additional play tests and had a great one with 6 other game designers, which revealed some ugly, but probably good, truths about my game.

It's too complex for the average board game player to grasp and enjoy, given that it should be easy enough for someone not knowing the game, to learn it and have a playthrough in about an hour to 1½ hours.

This was not possible with the current version of my game.
I also got some other great feedback, which I took to heart.

So now a month later, I have reworked all 144 cards, given the game mechanics an overhaul (simplifying the game), and removed the maps, which also makes the game more compact and eliminates the element of units moving around, which I was fond of, but had to realize it was adding a lot of complexity and also dragging the games out.

So TL;DR, I have just gotten the latest version of the game shipped to me, and I really like it. it's much easier to understand and dive into playing for the first time.

I have also updated my website, both in its design, but also all the cards, rules, etc have been updated to reflect the new version/mechanics of the game.

I hope you all check it out at http://www.epicdice.dk
And if you are interested in future updates, or just want to show me you are interested in the game, please consider subscribing to the newsletter at the bottom of the homepage. I promise I won't spam anyone.

Nyt fra mig omkring udviklingen af Heroes of Serendall, jeg er klar til en ny omgang spil tests :)

18/01/2024

The first 2 playtests are done, and I've been spending some time reworking cards, rules and abilities, The first version with regions felt overly complex for people to relate to, so I have changed the overall approach to be more anchored to classes.

The cards system has also been changed, so players not longer discard a card once used. Once I get the new rulesystem updated I will add it here.

Below are the new class system with all available heroes at release.
Basicly each class has 4 heroes, and for every class there will be between 15-20 action cards to select for your deck. Deck size has also been reduced, so a game where 2 players play with 4 heroes each. They can create a deck that consists of 24 action cards, 4 item cards + 2 arcane cards—totaling 30 cards.

Here are all the new heroes.
If you want to see all the action cards, head over to https://www.epicdice.dk/ and scroll down the page to "spells and abilities"

Once the new batch of prototype cards arrive in a few weeks, I will facilitate another 2-3 playtests and we'll see where it takes the game.

The first in depth play testing session was held last weekend. It was great to see 4 people interact with the game and suggest improvements.
I ended up noting down 18 different suggestions and in the process discovered that the learning curve is really steep, that has led me to rethink the complexity of the card regions and the way decks and mana work.

So back to the concept drawing board! 😀

(Turn on sound for the video)

There are 35 playable characters in Heroes of Serendall, 7 from each of the regions.

Today we look at Braxtus Silverbeard, a Ranger from Umbraheim (The dark region of Serendall)

Let me know in the comments if these types of bios are interesting or not relevant at all for the game

The first prototype has just arrived for Heroes of Serendall, and I'm stoked!

For a prototype it is generally not advisable to spend much on making it, I did, however, want to see the quality of the manufacturer I want to use for my production batch run later, so I opted for a more polished "prototype" so I could also see the quality of the product and use it for a demo, take stills for visualization on the website, etc.

It's fine that cards, and maps might change for the final product - this lets me get a good feel for it early on. What do you think of this prototype?, let me know in the comments :)

Our gnomish Engineers have been working on epicdice.dk website. It's now updated with all heroes, spells, abilities, and items.

If you're curious learning more about which cards are in the game, head over there now.

See the Rulebook - this will be highly susceptible to changes, through further playtesting.

The maps define the game type and area heroes move on, here is the Elimination map, where players need to win by defeating all the opponent's heroes.

Spells and Abilities play a big part in this game, here are some of the different spells, items, and abilities that players can choose to use in their decks. At release, there will be more than 110 unique action cards.
