Open up Here to Slay and enter a world of cute, cuddly, and utterly destructive creatures. You’ll learn to outwit your rivals and slay savage monsters, crushing your opponents on the way to victory!

HOW TO PLAY
In Here to Slay, the first person to successfully slay three monsters, or build a full party with six classes, wins the game! That means you can choose your own play style.
Will you work to build the most robust party of highly-skilled heroes this world has ever seen, create a lean team of monster-killing machines, or set out to screw over your friends at every turn?
No matter what you choose, there are enough strategies, characters, cards, and effects to make the game different every time you play it.
PARTY LEADER CARDS
Every player gets to select a party leader character to represent them throughout the game. Each party leader has a class and a skill that gives you an edge over your opponents. One day you may feel like a bloodthirsty fighter and the next you could be a cunning thief—but choose wisely, because you only get one party leader throughout the game!
HERO CARDS
Hero cards are brave adventurers who bring new skills to your party, and there are 40 unique heroes included in the game. Each hero card has a class and an effect, and each hero’s effect has a roll requirement. In order to utilize a hero’s effect, you must roll two dice and score equal to or higher than that effect’s roll requirement.
MONSTER CARDS
Everyone wants to be a hero, but are you brave enough to face off against these monsters? You can win the game by successfully slaying 3 monsters, but attacking may come at a price. In order to slay a monster, you must roll equal to or higher than the monster’s roll requirement. Be warned: Each monster has a roll range in which they’ll fight back. If you score within that range, your party might be in grave danger...
ITEM CARDS
Item cards are enchanted weapons and objects that heroes can use for special effects and skills. Most items offer beneficial effects and are meant to be equipped to heroes in your own party, but a handful of items are cursed and can be used to sabotage enemy heroes.
MAGIC CARDS
What would this world be without a little magic and mayhem? Magic cards are powerful spells with a one-time effect. Some magic cards can provide you great advantages, while others are designed to set your opponents back.
MODIFIER CARDS
Only fools rely solely on luck. In this game, you can keep a modifier card up your sleeve (Not literally, please. No cheating!) to ensure the odds always tip in your favor. Modifier cards add or subtract from the final total of any dice roll. Whether you need to recover from a low roll or sabotage the high roll of an opponent, modifier cards can be a handy tool when luck doesn't seem to be on your side.
CHALLENGE CARDS
To stop a fellow player from utilizing a hero, item, or magic card, you can lay down a challenge card and go toe-to-toe with your opponent. You and another player will roll the dice to determine a winner. Winning the challenge will stop them in their tracks and send their card to the discard pile, but you risk making an enemy for life...or at least until the game is over.
