Dota 2: The Board Game

Dota 2: The Board Game is an original board game based on the video game Dota 2. All of the heroes you know and love are included, as well as their abilities -- though altered to fit turn based gameplay -- and over 60 items. The core gameplay will be familiar to those who have played Dota before; heroes begin the game quite weak, they "farm" to gain gold and experience, they buy items and level up, gradually increasing their power. There are towers to destroy, neutral creeps to farm, different hero roles (support, carry, jungle, etc), Roshan, runes, status effects and a whole host of other features. Underlord is missing at the moment, but I intend to add him in future, along with The Gambler. Basics Dota 2: The Board Game is a team game for 2-10 players. Each team controls 5 heroes, with an ultimate goal of destroying the enemy's Ancient. The enemy team has the same objective, so balancing offence and defence is paramount. There are 10 turns in a round: 1 turn for each hero. Other than always alternating turns back and forth between teams, there is no set order; it is up to the player to decide when to use each hero. For example, a hero that went second in the previous round, may go tenth in the next. One important rule to keep in mind, is that you must announce which hero you are rolling for, before rolling. There is no limit to the amount of rounds in a game; the game simply continues until either team is able to destroy an Ancient. The game is played on a tile based board; movement, attack range and ability range all rely on the tile system. For movement, each hero has a "movement speed" which is added to their dice roll, they may then move that amount of tiles (or choose to only move some, or not at all). There are items which increase a hero's movement speed and many abilities which can impact movement speed. The heroes will do battle over key locations on the board, such as farming zones and neutral camps which grant gold and experience at the end of the rou
