NOAH: Not Officially Authorized Heroes

Description

Aliens, zombies, ghosts and vampires have infiltrated our everyday lives – hidden, disguised and right in your neighborhood. The great, celebrated heroes? Too busy, too overwhelmed, or off shooting their next Hollywood blockbuster. That’s exactly why you exist: secret organizations that officially don’t exist. “NOAH – Not Officially Authorized Heroes” is a cooperative hand-management and monster-battling adventure that rewards forward planning and clever resource management. Each of you takes command of one of four asymmetric factions and, on every turn, recruits unique crew members from your deck to prepare your next strike. The twist: you never know when your turn comes around again – the turn order keeps shifting. So you weigh your options as a team, plan ahead and get ready, because the many enemies of the NOAH series strike without warning. Along the way, multifunction cards request clever decisions – all the way to a pact with the dark side that grants supernatural powers at the price of your soul. But beware: time is short, and it’s playing against you too. And the best part: thanks to the clever Mix & Match system, you combine enemies and locations into a near-endless series of missions. No two games ever play the same. And because we’ve stripped the game down to what truly matters, you get full experience-level depth that fits in any bag. Save the world, even if no one will ever thank you for it.
