Description:
Origin Story board game is a competitive tableau-building and trick-taking game for 1–5 players in which you create the journey of a rising superhero. Over five rounds, players develop their character by uncovering backstory elements, recruiting allies, collecting gadgets, building rivalries, and unlocking powerful abilities. Each chapter adds new cards to your tableau, expanding your options and creating unique combinations as you charge cards and activate their effects. By carefully using attributes like brains, love, speed, and strength, players craft their hero’s origin story while competing to earn the most points by the end of the game.
