Rent a Hero

Players build a roster of heroes by passing and claiming face-down cards. Each card represents one of seven hero types and grants a one-time special power when activated. On a turn a player plays a card face down to the next player, who may take it or pass it along; taking a duplicate hero immediately sends both copies to the discard pile. Played cards must meet the current round’s restriction (for example, odd-numbered or above/below a threshold). The first player to collect six different heroes wins.

    Bluffing easy and funny game. Games based on giving bad cards to the others are always cool.

    1 partida en Juégame Store. Tienes que conseguir a 6 de los 7 héroes, que están numerados del 1 al 7, intentando no repetir ninguno, porque entonces perderías a los repetidos. El de tu lado te pasa una carta oculta y tienes que decidir si te la quedas o no, en base a la información que te da (ejemplo: es mayor o igual que 5). Juego sencillo, pero entretenido y con buenas ilustraciones.
