Heroes of the Sanctum: Legends of the Damned (2025)

The Incursion Continues!

Heroes of the Sanctum: The Strategy Card Game™ is a portable and deterministic quest-based solo adventure set in a dark, post-apocalyptic fantasy universe. This is now the 2nd season of the acclaimed dark fantasy universe with all new products and expansions!

Heroes of the Sanctum: The Strategy Card Game™ uniquely combines elements of dungeon crawling, role-playing, tower defence, and tactical combat into a highly challenging and streamlined adventure card game. Support for up to 4 players is possible via the Multiplayer Expansion.

You are called to assemble and control the actions of 4 uniquely skilled heroes and undertake a diverse range of quests. Journey through dangerously reactive environments, interact with your surroundings and become more powerful by defeating threats, gaining loot, managing equipment, and advancing your party. 

The Heroes of the Sanctum™ core set provides the depth of a large box game compressed into a portable package, making it a great choice to take with you on your travels! Thanks to our amazing backers, Heroes of the Sanctum: The Strategy Card Game™ was incredibly well received after our Season One campaign in 2024, scoring a whopping 8.2 out of 10 on BoardGameGeek as of May 2025! :)

Designed to be highly modular and expandable, 5 optional Add-Ons are available to extend the game with all-new content and mechanisms, including the Comic Campaign - a unique Graphic Novel / Gamebook hybrid to enhance a dark and brutal fantasy universe with an engaging narrative, persistent effects, choices and multiple endings! For true roleplaying enthusiasts, you can even add yourself as a hero in the game with our exclusive limited edition Custom Hero Add-on!

Champion, the Sanctum requests your aid! The destiny of all that remains has fallen to you... Will you answer the call?

Every US backer of our 2025 campaign is protected under our 300% US Tariff Guarantee — an industry-leading promise to absorb any increase in US import tariffs up to 300% (based on manufacturing cost), without passing those costs on to you. No additional tariff-related charges will apply within this threshold. No hidden fees. No surprises. Just clarity, confidence, and commitment from the very beginning.

“The Sanctum defends its Chosen.”

Heroes, Quests, Enemies, Regions, Loot... Heroes Of The Sanctum™ has it all!

Before undertaking a quest, you must assemble a party of 4 champions to face the dangers of the rift.

There are 12 heroes included in the core game, each with unique actions, allowing you to develop your own play style with custom strategies and tactics!

As an extra bonus, everyone that backs us and signs up for our newsletter will also receive the Sanctum's Chosen bonus hero! *

* To be eligible, sign up for our newsletter, back a pledge containing the Core Set, and complete payment in Kickstarter and the pledge manager!





Choose from 11 thematic and diverse quests! Objectives include finding a relic, protecting helpless villagers, exploring underground dungeons, cleansing contaminations, defending a fort, escaping the rift, or battling various epic threats! All quests include a difficulty rating and estimated game duration, specific setup instructions as well as unique game events for countless hours of replayability! In addition, Heroes of the Sanctum also offers 3 difficulty modes that you can use to modify each quest!

The threats you encounter will employ unique behaviours to decimate all in their path.

No matter the cost, you have been called to lead the last of the Sanctum's champions and crush the abominations of the rift!

Heroes must journey through various regions to complete their objectives. Regions are flipped each turn to update the narrative and invoke deadly effects!

Certain quests and events allow you to advance your heroes to become more powerful. When this happens, hero cards are flipped to reveal their advanced statistics!

As your heroes crush the threats of the rift, they will obtain Loot along the way. When heroes uncover Loot, it is attached to their hero cards. Each hero can hold a maximum of 2 Loot cards.

As your heroes crush the threats of the rift, they will obtain Loot along the way. When heroes uncover Loot, it is attached to their hero cards. Each hero can hold a maximum of 2 Loot cards.

There is a variety of Loot to find in the core game. To best serve your tactics and objectives, you will need discernment to move items between heroes and maximise the party's effectiveness!

📖 TUTORIAL 2/2: How To Play

NOTE: These videos were created using an earlier prototype of the game. The rules remain unchanged, but there have been tweaks and minor differences to artwork and content as well as new features added to the game (such as optional Difficulty Modes).

🗡️ PLAYTHROUGH: Contamination Quest...

In this video, we do a FULL solo play through of Contamination, one of the 11 Quests included in the Core Game! We advise checking out the tutorial videos first :) 

Heroes of The Sanctum™ utilises synergistic gameplay and a strong visual sense of location!

Heroes are paired around banners that must be defended alongside their own Battle Lines. These Sanctum Banners use arcane energies to pool the health of nearby heroes together. Be warned, adjacent heroes not only share their health but damage and even death!



Heroes are usually in proximity to special objects and places that can be interacted with. The Nearest Hero can often interact with Proximities to gain perks or to prevent a negative effect.

You'll find a large selection of double-sided Proximity cards in the core game, ranging from treasure chests, characters, crypts, traps, buildings, places and even infernos!

All heroes have double-sided Hero Tokens that match the icon on their Hero cards. Each turn, these tokens are used in conjunction with Stratagem cards to perform actions.
Stratagem cards provide a tactical narrative as well as the turn's total Action Points and Available Actions. You must plan your actions wisely and not exceed your Action Points!

There are 8 core Hero Actions that may be available depending on the current Stratagem. Heroes can Attack, Heal, Defend, Scout, Use, Taunt, Assist and Move! Knowing which heroes to use, which actions to perform, and in which order to do them depends on your leadership and strategy!

All heroes have a PASSIVE Effect and a UNIQUE Action. PASSIVE effects typically improve one or more of the core Hero Actions and UNIQUE Actions allow heroes to perform their own unique behaviours!

Make no mistake - This has the depth of a huge game in a portable box! Heroes of the Sanctum is absolutely packed with content!

NOTE: The components of the expansions are found in their own sections!

If you're new to the Heroes of the Sanctum™ universe, below you'll find an overview of what you missed from our first Kickstarter adventure in 2024. 

SEASON ONE - The Story So Far:

“Sacred tomes speak of a rift between our realm and the darkness. A time where ancient manifestations of the dark will force us all to the edge of extinction. It is foretold that the last of the Sanctum’s champions will stand between the coming terrors and oblivion. That time has finally come to pass…”


As the realm burns, heroes emerge as architects of their own destinies, forging paths of valour through timeless quests!


Ascend to greatness in the Multiplayer Expansion of Heroes of the Sanctum™, where up to 4 players wield dominion over their own Heroes, uniting together to battle the demonic hordes. Encounter an all-new experience, discovering unique mechanisms and features such as Skillsets, Skill Sheets, Action Trackers, Action Grids and an all-new Multiplayer Hero Phase. The time has come to confront the darkness and weave an epic saga of unbreakable unity, fearless valour, and ultimate victory!

NOTE: In the core game's Collaboration Mode, multiple players can collectively make decisions during the Hero Phase but they don’t individually control their own heroes. Instead, they collaborate to share control of the party, adhering to the same solo rules. We highly recommend the Multiplayer Expansion for a true multiplayer experience!

Multiplayer Game Layout

In the Multiplayer Expansion, significant changes redefine how players command their Heroes. The focus shifts to complete control over specific heroes, while collaborating with the rest of the party to achieve shared objectives. The first big change is the new larger game layout where each of the 4 heroes have their own areas called the Skillset consisting of a Hero's Skill Sheet, Action Tracker and their associated Hero Token.



In Multiplayer mode, all heroes possess Skill Sheets located in an area outside the Battlefield, referred to as the “Skillset”. Each hero has an associated Skill Sheet showcasing their distinctive abilities, alongside a convenient space for equipping and managing loot.



The Multiplayer Stratagem deck differs significantly from the standard one included in the core game. Instead of the usual available action slots located on the left of the card, players will find the new "Action Grid" mechanism in its place, simulating local obstacles for each of the heroes. This diagram shows players what actions are available to the heroes in specific Battle Lines. A Hero can only resolve red actions if the background in it's Action Grid position is red, blue actions if blue, or any action if both red and blue stripes are shown. Players will need to work together to move heroes to optimal positions in order to pursue their chosen strategy. 



Each of the heroes will also have their own personal Action Tracker card. By default, players cannot re-assign the same action they chose in the previous round. Hero tokens are kept in place to track this, giving each player a lot more freedom to control their individual heroes than is possible in the solo game. There is also a handy green X slot to track a hero's UNIQUE action.

NOTE: The Standard Bearer card comes with the core game.

Each round, a Standard Bearer is chosen. They lead the party through the Threat, Region, and Quest phases, proposing strategies and setting the order of player actions. While they can’t control others’ decisions, they can guide the flow of play. But beware—players can dissent, and the Standard Bearer must decide whether to adapt or push forward, even at the cost of unity.



The Multiplayer Expansion also comes with 2 new quests (compatible with both Multiplayer and Solo modes), along with 2 Epic Threats. Will your heroes be able to halt the advances of the Riftwalker and Doombringer? 

Hybrid Solo Mode Layout

Finally (and somewhat ironically), the Multiplayer Expansion has something really cool for Solo players with Hybrid Mode! This is a new solo game layout that trades a little more table space to integrate the Multiplayer Skill Sheets into solo games. This allows for full visualisation of your Hero's actions, stats and loot! 





As the Incursion ravages the land, only your leadership can turn the tide of war. The Sanctum’s re-enforcements have arrived!

Delve deeper with the Heroes of the Sanctum: Epic Expansion™ ! Discover six new Heroes, triple the amount of Loot, as well as new Quests, Regions, and Proximities! Also included are Hero Skill Sheets for use with the optional Multiplayer Expansion. The Epic Expansion also introduces the all-new Companion mechanism, allowing your Heroes to recruit a variety of characters, pets, and more! Expand your strategies and battle the Incursion in this epic saga of survival, valour, and sacrifice!

This optional add-on massively expands your game with six all-new Heroes, each with their own Skill Sheet for use in Multiplayer and Hybrid modes—bringing powerful reinforcements to your party!

Deploy the melee mastery of the Vanguard, find new ways to scout with the Pathfinder, manipulate Proximities and Regions with the Geomancer, target 2 threats at once with the Hunter, banish threats while mimicking other Heroes with the Enchantress, and unleash the rage of the Berserker. Mix and match these unique behaviours into all new tactics and strategies!

In addition, 6 Skill Sheets for the new heroes are also included to use in Multiplayer and Hybrid Solo mode!

This expansion includes 33 all-new Loot cards, more than tripling the variety in your deck. Among them is the new Companion subtype—allowing pets, spirits, and allies to follow specific Heroes and grant unique abilities. With two Epic Quests, custom rules, unique regions, and specialised Proximities, this expansion is essential for both solo and multiplayer play!



In this first Epic Quest, “Protect The Child”, your Heroes must escape a daemon-infested dungeon by disarming Proximities and navigating the Unholy Labyrinth. New mechanisms introduce custom Proximities and Quest Tokens that evolve into darker narrative events over time. One Hero must protect the child—gaining bonus health and defence but unable to attack—while the rest contend with lurking threats and corruptive energies within the environment itself.

In the second Epic Quest, “Defend the Kul’dan Citadel”, you’re sent on a near-suicidal mission to hold the line against the Dreadfiend, a towering abomination that summons serpent-like Dreadspawns to breach your castle walls. Custom Quest Tokens and Proximities simulate each Dreadspawn’s independent assault. While the walls hold, you gain +1 defence—but once they fall, each Dreadspawn brings unique penalties to your party. Worse still, the Dreadfiend grows stronger with every Dreadspawn in play. This is a battle of endurance, and failure is not an option!

The Incursion grows darker, but you shall carry the light of the Sanctum's justice!





The Incursion looms as the ultimate campaign of survival unfolds. Heroes rise and fall, and the existence of all things hangs in the balance!


Introducing Heroes of the Sanctum: Comic Campaign™ – a unique fusion of Graphic Novel and GameBook. Immerse yourself in the struggle to survive the initial events of The Incursion in a seamless, dark narrative of Quests, featuring all-new game mechanisms and multiple endings!

In the opening pages of the book, brace yourself for the relentless storm of The Incursion. Witness as ancient manifestations of darkness tear through the very fabric of existence, casting a shadow of doom over the land. Stand alongside the Sanctum as they muster their courage in a valiant struggle against the initial onslaught. With time slipping through their fingers like grains of sand, behold their desperate quest to rally emissaries and forge unity among the living against the relentless, demonic scourge hell-bent on purging all life from the realm!

Assemble a band of 12 Champions and choose your path through multiple difficulty modes—including the brutal new Legend difficulty setting. But beware: fallen heroes are lost forever. With the pressure mounting, push toward a climactic showdown and one of four gripping endings. The prophecy awaits—will you emerge as the legendary Heroes foretold by the ancients?

Completing a Quest is only the beginning. Face the aftermath of victory or defeat—gain Traits, seize Loot, and press on as the Incursion deepens. Survive, and your party descends further into the unfolding narrative, where every choice shapes destiny and each step draws you closer to the brink of chaos.

Traits are party-wide effects that last the entire campaign. Complete a Quest in Victory, and you’ll earn a positive Trait and bonus Loot. Fail, and you lose those heroes for the rest of the campaign—and gain a negative Trait. For example: save a burning village, and you gain PYROSHIELD; fail, and you’re left PYROPHOBIC.

As the campaign draws to its climactic conclusion, four dramatic endings cast their shadows across the horizon. Your decisions shall carve the fate of the realm in unyielding stone, as the very essence of existence teeters on the brink. The weight of all living souls rests squarely upon your shoulders, for in failure, only oblivion awaits. Ready yourself, for the final reckoning draws near, where every choice echoes through the corridors of eternity. Embrace your destiny as a true Hero of the Sanctum, for the time to rise is now!


These are the latest products for the Season Two Kickstarter In 2025! Revisit the story so far with the trailer video below:

SEASON TWO - The Story So Far:

The Temple of the Third Eye stands on the brink of destruction. Once a sanctuary of forbidden knowledge, it is now a stronghold of darkness where corrupted Warlocks construct Riftways to the realm of the demon. But not all have fallen. The Remnant, Warlocks who resisted the Rift’s dark energies, struggle to reclaim their homeland. With the Sanctum at their side, they must strike before the corruption spreads beyond control. The redemption of the Remnant is at hand. Rise, Champion, and take your place among the Heroes of the Sanctum—for these are the Legends of the Damned!

Dark Warlocks construct Riftways to the realm of the demon. Uncover the source of corruption before the realm falls to ruin!


Legends of the Damned is a massive campaign box expansion for Heroes of the Sanctum: The Strategy Card Game™, introducing the Quest Deck system, where every choice shapes the unfolding story. Face new threats, contend with Proximity Lines, claim enhanced Sanctum Banners, and wield Advanced Loot to strengthen your heroes. Play through three epic chapters with a branching narrative leading to seven possible endings. Recruit four new Remnant Companions, unlock powerful Traits through your choices, and shape the fate of the Remnant—and the realm itself. Many of these new features can also be used in standalone Quests, expanding replayability like never before!


This mega expansion includes more content than all of the Season one expansions combined! Legends of the Damned takes things to a whole new level of immersion!

A New Layer of Strategy: The battlefield is ever-shifting, and Proximity Lines bring a whole new tactical depth! Now, multiple Proximity cards can exist near the same hero, stacked horizontally like Battle Lines. This means the Nearest Hero can interact with—or suffer the effects of—all proximities in their line. Will you adapt and exploit the environment, or will the environment overwhelm you?

Your Choices Shape the Story: The Quest Deck is your gateway to an evolving adventure, deepening the universe of Heroes of the Sanctum™ like never before. Divided into chapters, it introduces new card types that establish objectives, drive the narrative, present choices, and determine your path forward. With 46 Quest Deck cards packed into this expansion, every decision you make matters, leading to unique outcomes and new challenges! 



Forge Your Path: Your choices shape the legend. Quest Introduction and Narrative cards present diverging paths, each leading to a unique Choice Outcome that alters your journey. Some decisions even grant powerful Trait cards, leaving a lasting mark on your campaign.



Defy Defeat: Not every battle is won with steel alone. Quest Battle cards may offer multiple paths to victory—or defeat—without ending the campaign. Your decisions shape the story through Quest Outcome cards, where triumph brings rewards, and failure leaves lasting scars.

Shape Your Legacy: Your journey defines your strategy. As you progress, Trait cards are claimed, granting party-wide bonuses that persist throughout the campaign. Narrative Traits reflect your decisions, while Tactical Traits unlock abilities through aggression, resilience, or control. Adapt, evolve, and forge your legend.



Evolve Your Strategy: Bring Traits into Standalone Quests with Tactical Ascension cards. When drawn from the Loot Deck, they’re removed and replaced with a random Tactics Trait, granting new abilities mid-battle. Adapt, empower your heroes, and reshape the fight.



Rally Your Strength: Enhanced Sanctum Banners now appear in the Loot Deck, offering strategic buffs that can be swapped between heroes using ASSIST actions. Adapt on the fly and stand firm against the darkness!



Power for the Worthy: Unleash Advanced Loot with the new ADVANCED keyword—rare treasures with powerful effects, usable only by heroes who have mastered their path. Will your champions prove worthy?



Allies or Sacrifices: Recruit powerful Remnant Companions—unique allies that grant potent abilities when bonded to a hero. But they share damage with their champion, forcing you to choose: will you heal them, or sacrifice them for the greater good?

The Realm Trembles: Face 14 deadly new Threat cards, including 7 unique enemies and powerful Level 4 threats to test even the toughest champions. Add them to any Standalone Quest for fresh dangers in every battle.

Struggle Through Three Epic Chapters: The second half of the booklet contains the entire campaign using a layout very similar to the Comic Campaign!

Your Choices Shape Fate: Forge your own legend with 7 dramatic endings that will determine the fate of the realm. Every decision throughout the campaign carves a path toward salvation or doom. Will you rise as a hero of the Sanctum, or will darkness claim all? The final chapter is yours to write!



* No more than 2 cards per category (marked with an asterisk) are tied to Stretch Goals. All other components are included in every pledged copy.

Descend alone into the dark fantasy universe of Heroes of the Sanctum™ in a portable solo card-and-dice dungeon crawler!


"The Incursion has plunged our realm into chaos, leaving only ash and despair in its wake. With extinction drawing ever closer, the Sanctum turns to you—alone—to descend into the abyss of ancient, underground ruins, where the spawn of the Rift fester in the vile corruption of dark energies. Their ranks grow stronger, their reach darker, and if left unchallenged, they will devour all that remains..."


"Few possess the courage to step willingly into the grasp of death, but the time for hesitation has long passed. Enter the lair of demons, confront the horrors that writhe within, and strike against the darkness! Go forth, champion. Step boldly into near-certain doom and carve salvation from the brink of annihilation. Should you ascend from the darkness, your sacrifice will be etched into eternity, immortalised by the Sanctum’s highest honour: the Seal of the Doomcrawler.

By decree of the Sanctum, the edict is given."

Heroes of the Sanctum: Doomcrawler™ Game Layout

Heroes of the Sanctum: Doomcrawler™ is a fully self-contained, action-packed game that is portable enough to take anywhere! But there’s more—this standalone experience includes 4 secret Reward Packs that unlock bonus content for both Heroes of the Sanctum: Doomcrawler™ and Heroes of the Sanctum: The Strategy Card Game!™.

Choose a champion to lead the charge against the forces of the Rift. Will you wield the precision of The Sanctum’s Chosen, the devastating power of the Pyromage, the arcane armour of the Thunderhammer, or the restorative abilities of the Lightbringer? Perhaps more heroes can be found along the way?

Each game round in Heroes Of The Sanctum: Doomcrawler™ loops over the Hero Phase and the Dungeon Phase. If you can escape from all dungeons in the Dungeon Stack, you are victorious. 

The game begins with the Hero Phase!

At the start of the Hero Phase, players UPDATE their hero’s Dice Track by moving the yellow die to the next position, unlocking bonus abilities or free actions for the round.

Players then perform two ACTIVE Hero Skill cards, resolving their Action Lists one at a time, from top to bottom. Each hero wields a Unique Skill card alongside four shared Core Skills: ATTACK, ESCAPE, QUEST, and REST. After most Skill cards are resolved, they are DEACTIVATED, limiting future options and adding strategic tension.

ATTACK SKILL: Strike down the enemies that infest the underground! To hit, roll higher than the threat’s Difficulty Level. The game includes 26 unique threats, each with distinct stats and abilities. Epic threats, marked by purple Dice Tracks, feature higher difficulty and PASSIVE effects—only the bravest will survive!


ESCAPE SKILL: This lets you flee the current Dungeon card by rolling higher than its Difficulty Level. To be victorious, you must survive the entire Dungeon Stack and emerge alive. Will you escape the darkness—or be consumed by it?


QUEST SKILL: This skill targets one of three active Side Quests. Roll higher than its Difficulty Level to progress. Side Quests offer both rewards and risks—choose wisely, as your actions may shape the course of your journey.

REST SKILL: Wounded heroes can use the REST skill to recover. Roll higher than your current health to heal. After resting, used Skill cards are ACTIVATED—flipped face up and ready for action.

In addition to the 4 core Hero Skills, each hero has their own Unique Hero Skill! 

Charge Your Skills: Charging is key to survival. Roll the white die and place it on a Skill’s CHARGE slot to power it up. This boosts future actions—letting you plan ahead and unleash your hero’s full potential when it counts.

Push Threats Into The Darkness: The PUSH action lets you do more than just attack—you can drive non-epic threats back into the Darkness, where their Dice Tracks fall silent and they become untouchable. But beware—they still linger, waiting to return…

Unique Threats: There are no duplicate cards and each has its own tactics!

Defend Yourself: At the end of the Hero Phase, roll the black die and place it on your Hero’s Defence Slot. During the Dungeon Phase, damage is reduced by your defence before affecting health.

Upgrade Your Hero: Defeating an Epic Threat is just the beginning. Flip your Hero card to its Advanced side, gaining increased health and an upgraded Dice Track. You’ve ascended—now face the greater darkness ahead!

Confront Epic Threats: Clearing a Dungeon automatically spawns an Epic Threat in the next one! As well as being more deadly, they utilise PASSIVE effects just like heroes do!

Discover Powerful Loot: grant unique abilities and powerful effects. With 30+ to discover, each Loot Roll offers a chance to equip your hero with game-changing gear!

Random Encounters: When attempting Side Quests or escaping a dungeon, draw an Encounter card—a narrative event that brings fortune or danger. It’s resolved immediately, then discarded, leaving its mark on your journey.

Handle Critical Hits: Critical Hit cards are devastating setbacks that can override your Core Skills, disabling key actions until resolved. If a hero suffers more than three, they are immediately defeated—so tread carefully!




The darkness strikes back: During the Dungeon Phase, threats advance their Dice Tracks, triggering deadly effects. Then, Side Quests, the Dungeon, and any unresolved Critical Hits are updated. Finally, threats in the Darkness return to the battle. The Hero Phase begins anew. But beware! This grim adventure ends only when your hero falls to the relentless horrors of the Rift… or against all odds emerges from the ruins alive!

Risks and challenges

We successfully funded and fulfilled our first Kickstarter — Heroes of the Sanctum: The Strategy Card Game™ — in 2024, delivering on time, on budget, and to a high standard. That campaign laid the groundwork for Legends of the Damned (2025), which includes both new content and reprints of our original four titles. Though we may tweak and update some of the new designs just before the final manufacturing run, the returning products are print-ready and good to go.

Over the past three years, we’ve not only designed the Heroes of the Sanctum universe, but also built the full manufacturing and distribution pipelines behind it — tested, proven, and ready for scale. We always self-fund our development and marketing phases, and this campaign — like all our future campaigns — exists solely to support final manufacturing and fulfilment. We have also negotiated a low minimum order quantity (MOQ) with our trusted partners, making the funding goal highly achievable.

While areas such as shipping and logistics can still involve some uncertainty, we’ve prepared thoroughly and are confident in our ability to deliver. The new products shown during the campaign are in a late stage, with only minor adjustments expected before production.

In addition, all US pledges are protected under our 300% Tariff Guarantee, covering any import tariff increases up to 300% of our manufacturing cost.

We encourage our backers to ask questions — we’re always happy to help! Please note that we’re a small team working in the GMT time zone, so there may be some delays on weekends or depending on your location. Your patience and support are greatly appreciated! 🙂
