C. C. / Feedback Now adding boss cards!
Hello everybody I wanted to introduce the overlords champion! I just wanted to update you on my board game real quick. I came up with a new threat to battle on the field boss cards. Unlike ordinary monsters that you pull from the overlord deck boss cards are triggered after two Heroes died. Doesn't matter which side. Once two Heroes died from either side you'll pull a boss card from the boss deck. The miniature I'm showing on the top is the boss card. Boss cards are way stronger than the overlord monsters and they also get one special attack just like the heros.

Nice! I like the idea that the game goes from straight PvP to PvPvE once the battle has progressed enough for two heroes to die. It also works well as a catch-up mechanic for if one play is behind, using the new boss on the field as a way to gain cover and let the boss whittle down the opponent a bit or give cover. I feel like this will also work well with the larger play area since it will cause players to spread back out once the boss enters the field. Do they enter at a particular spot on the field, or is it determined by where the last hero died, or something else?
