About this product
Every origin story needs another possible ending.
Expand Origin Story with new superheroes, new supervillains and more ways for your final chapter to unfold.
Add 21 new hero and villain cards to the original game and discover who your character ultimately becomes.
Product Description
Your story has been building chapter by chapter. Now the ending has even more possibilities.
Origin Story Heroes & Villains Mini Expansion adds 7 new superhero cards and 14 new supervillain cards to Origin Story, greatly expanding the final-round choices available to players. Heroes and villains are shuffled together with the superheroes from the original game, creating a larger and much less predictable deck.
With the mini expansion, each player receives three superhero or supervillain cards at the beginning of the game. When the final round arrives, reveal one of those cards as your character's story reaches its conclusion. Unless the revealed card says otherwise, your chosen alignment for the round does not have to match whether the card is a hero or villain.
It is a small expansion that adds much more variety to Origin Story without changing the heart of the game.
Requires the Origin Story core game to play.
