The latest design from Seiji Kanai (of Love Letter fame) will be arriving at your FLGS this October by way of our friends at AEG. Eight Epics is a card and dice game where up to eight players take on the roles of Avatars of Hope as the group cooperates to defend the world from a series of cataclysmic events. The game will feature thirty cards, twenty dice, and a rule book. Gameplay clocks in around 30 minutes and the MSRP is set at $19.99.
No official sell sheet info from AEG yet but here’s the brief description from the Kanai Factory edition:
Eight Epicsis a cooperative dice game in which the heroic players must overcome unprecedented crises through the powers available to them and the ability to roll dice. A hero’s capacity for heroics is finite, however, so you need to prevent the disaster before you run out of life.
