From Nauvoo:
10 years ago… A mysterious burst in the sky gave ordinary men and women extraordinary powers. They’re called EPICS. But, every Epic turned out to be EVIL. Today, in the city once known as Chicago (now Newcago), an all-powerful Epic named STEELHEART reigns supreme! Nobody fights back… nobody but THE RECKONERS! This is where you come in. You are a member of the Reckoners, a skilled group of normal humans who assassinate Epics. Your mission is simple, but not easy. Take down Steelheart and his Epics and SAVE THE CITY.
The Reckoners is a simultaneous, CO-OPERATIVE game for 1-6 players that plays in 75 minutes. During the game, you control one of the members of The Reckoners team. YOU WIN BY DEFEATING STEELHEART. But before you can defeat him, you must first discover his weakness. Seems simple, right? Did I mention that Steelheart and all his Epics have SUPERPOWERS? Each round, all of the Epics are going to activate, performing an array of actions and then powering up to be even more devastating next round. If the Epics manage to destroy Newcago by reducing the population to 0, then ALL RECKONERS LOSE.
