Here to Slay is a strategic card game and role-playing adventure designed for 2-6 players aged 10 and up. The game combines fast-paced gameplay with straightforward rules, making it accessible for both beginners and experienced players. Each session lasts between 30 and 60 minutes.
Players compete to either defeat three monsters or assemble a complete party of six hero classes to win. The game encourages different strategies—whether focusing on building a strong hero team, specializing in monster slaying, or disrupting opponents’ plans.
The base game includes a 115-card standard deck, 6 Party Leader cards, 15 oversized Monster cards, 2 six-sided dice, and 6 rules reference cards. Additional expansions—Warriors & Druids, Berserkers & Necromancers, and Here to Sleigh—offer extended gameplay options.
Originally a Kickstarter success, Here to Slay ranked among the platform’s top 50 most-backed projects. It was also recognized by Pop Insider as one of the standout geeky gifts of 2020.
Things to Keep in MindA notable recurring concern is the initial complexity of the rules, which some players, particularly those with younger children, found challenging to grasp clearly. Furthermore, several users reported issues with the physical product quality, including instances of missing components, cards peeling, or noticeable color discrepancies between the base game and expansion sets. Why You'll Like ItThe game is widely appreciated for its engaging and strategic gameplay, often involving fun player interactions through elements like sabotage. Its appealing art style and relatively quick play sessions contribute to its broad appeal, making it enjoyable for various player types and age ranges once the rules are understood.
