Hero Card Anatomy
- Icons - Some Heroes score for specific icons
- Hero score - These effects score individually
- Team score - These effects score as a group
- Insignia - To help with Team Score effects
- Power number - Used only in Paragon Mode
Some cards also have a Maverick effect, a unique ability.
If a card has a Public Identity (icon), place it faceup in front of you when you recruit it.
Round Overview
At the start of each new round, discard any remaining cards in the recruiting row to the discard pile, leaving El Número Uno or returning him from in front of a player to the recruiting row. Add a new card from the deck to the recruiting row.
Players draw, offer, and recruit 1 card each round. The number of cards you have recruited at the end of each round increases by 1 throughout the game.
Players follow these steps:
Draw 1 Card
Each player draws 1 card from the Hero deck to their hand, which they keep hidden. All cards in your hand are Heroes you have recruited.
Offer 1 Card
Players simultaneously choose any 1 card from their hand and place it facedown in front of themselves to offer it.
When all players have chosen a card, they add them faceup to the recruiting row in any position.
Recruit 1 Hero
Starting with whoever has the 1st Player token, each player recruits any 1 faceup card by taking it from the recruiting row and adding it to their hand.
If no one recruits El Número Uno, the player with the 1st Player token keeps it for the next round.
The next round begins after all players have recruited 1 card, or if it's round 6, the game ends.
End of the Game
After 6 rounds (when all players have 7 cards), players reveal their hand of recruited cards to show their assembled Hero force. Determine the value of your Heroes, grouping cards by insignia for ease of scoring.
The player with the most points (star) is the winner and has created the ultimate Hero force. In the case of a tie, the tied player with more unique insignias on their Hero cards wins.
