About the Game

In a typical game of Here to Slay, you'll choose a party leader, recruit from over 40 unique heroes, equip them with items and magic, then roll the dice to slay dangerous monsters — all while rivals throw down challenge cards to sabotage your best plays. Monsters fight back when your roll lands in their danger range, so every attempt is a gamble. The first player to slay three monsters, or assemble a party spanning six hero classes, wins.

Here to Slay plays 2–6 players in roughly 30–60 minutes. It's a light, accessible card game recommended for ages 10 and up, combining dice rolling, hand management and take-that interaction. Party leaders grant each player a unique skill, and with fighters, bards, wizards and thieves on offer, there's a leader to suit every play style.

Created by TeeTurtle's Unstable Games, the studio behind Unstable Unicorns, Here to Slay was released in 2020 after a successful Kickstarter campaign, bringing the team's colourful art and playful humour to a fantasy adventure.

Watch: How to play

Rules of Here to Slay

  • Setup: Each player picks a party leader with a unique skill, draws a starting hand of cards, and three monster cards are revealed face-up in the centre.
  • On your turn you spend three action points to draw cards, play heroes, items or magic from your hand, or attack a monster.
  • Heroes belong to classes (such as fighter, bard, wizard or thief), and many have abilities you trigger by rolling the dice.
  • To slay a monster, roll the dice and meet its requirement — but if your roll lands in the monster's danger range, it fights back and costs you party members.
  • Opponents can play challenge cards to disrupt your rolls and plays, and you can do the same to them.
  • Items and magic cards equip your heroes with bonuses or one-off effects to swing key rolls in your favour.
  • Winning: the first player to slay three monsters, or to build a party containing six different hero classes, wins the game.

Strategy

  • Don't tunnel on monsters alone — collecting six hero classes is a viable alternate win, so recruit a varied party when good heroes appear.
  • Hold at least one challenge card for genuinely dangerous enemy plays rather than spending it on a minor roll.
  • Check a monster's danger range before attacking; a failed roll can gut your party, so weigh the risk against the reward.
  • Use your party leader's skill every turn it applies — free value adds up quickly over a 30–60 minute game.
  • Equip items on heroes you expect to keep, and avoid piling everything onto one hero who might be lost to a monster's backlash.
  • Keep your hand stocked by spending an action to draw when you're low — options matter more than tempo early on.
  • Watch opponents' monster counts; if someone is close to three, it may be worth spending challenges defensively to slow them down.
