In the final round of Origin Story, each player chooses a card that represents who they have triumphantly become as the result of their journey. This mini-expansion adds 21 new cards to the original deck of 10... and they're not all heroes.

In addition to 7 new superhero cards, we created 14 supervillain cards for the stories that have a more devious ending. They're all in the same deck.

Simply shuffle all superhero and supervillain cards (including superheroes from the original game) into one deck, then deal 3 cards to each player at the beginning of the game. The original game had players receiving 2 cards instead of 3 if you're playing with this mini-expansion.

Lucy ★★★★★

The final-round reveal cards are what make this shine — picking who your character became after everything is such a satisfying payoff. Blends right into the base game, no rulebook flipping needed.

Abigail O. ★★★★★

Adding the 21 new villain cards completely changed how our group approaches the last round — suddenly everyone's agonizing over who they want to become instead of just grabbing whatever's left. We've played the base game a dozen times and this still made it feel fresh.

Stella ★★★★★

The final-round reveal got so much better with these 21 new cards — my group actually debates who became the best villain now. Adds real replay value without changing the base game rules.
