Outnumbered: Improbable Heroes

Players cooperate as a team of heroes defending a city from advancing minions and a recurring supervillain threat. On each turn a player rolls three dice and uses arithmetic operations plus a character-specific Hero Power to create target numbers shown on approaching enemies, removing them from the board. New minions spawn in waves, move toward critical locations, and trigger Events and counterattacks that force the group to adapt their sequence of attacks. Play emphasizes planning, number construction, and coordination to earn Bonus Cards, manage escalating threats, and prevent the forces from overwhelming the team.
