How you get them, however, will be totally different each time you play. Every turn begins with moving to a new space on the hexagon filled map and drawing an Adventure Token. Each combo of Map Type and Adventure token spawns a whole new adventure - just input both into the companion app, and you'll be presented with narrative events with multiple paths to take - such as dice tests, trading items, and interacting with NPCs. Your terrific - or terrible - decisions shape the story you experience. Will you fight the bad guys, or join them? Recover the treasure, or steal it? Whatever you decide, hilarious consequences will surely follow. Grow stronger, get smarter, and gain favor (or not) with the Gods who'll be judging you at every step of the way. Each player has 3 tracks on their player board corresponding to the 3 Gods. Appeasing them or displeasing them will buf or debuff your hero! Your hero board comes with multiple dual-layers slots where you'll evolve your hero's abilities. Complete quests to level up your hero and eventually take on boss level challenges to recover a set number of dragon eggs before your rivals. Whoever claims the desired amount of dragon eggs will win the game. (Solo and co-op modes also available for different types of adventures!)

For one reason or another these are just shy of perfect. Whether it's mechanics, length, brain burn whatever. 4.0 - This is where a game becomes recommended. Now I may or may not be in the mood, or even own it, especially considering other games. But a 4 is where we cross from good to great.3.5 - Really enjoyed, don't love it, will often lose out to better games, but there's a part of me that wants to own it/play it more. 3.0 - A good game, I enjoy playing it. But also if I never play it again I'm not losing any sleep over that. 2.5 - Wasn't the biggest fan. Wasn't the worst, but didn't feel like the best use of time. Would prefer not to play again but am willing to given the right circumstances. 2.0 - A game I don't want to play again. I'm not saying it isn't good, I'm saying I don't want to play it again regardless of circumstance. 1.5 - I did not like this game, do not want to play it, and think it's a fairly flawed game. 1.0 - I can't imagine rating a game this poorly ever. It would take something so abysmal I probably didn't get to even play it.

About Accidental Heroes, from BoardGameGeek:

Accidental Heroes is a spectacularly silly adventure game of quests, chaos, and highly questionable decisions, powered by a faithful (and sarcastic) Companion App. Become the hero the realm neither wants nor deserves as you compete or co-operate to secure dragon eggs. How you get them, however, will be totally different each time you play. Every turn begins with moving to a new space on the hexagon filled map and drawing an Adventure Token. Each combo of Map Type and Adventure token spawns a whole new adventure - just input both into the companion app, and you'll be presented with narrative events with multiple paths to take - such as dice tests, trading items, and interacting with NPCs. Your terrific - or terrible - decisions shape the story you experience. Will you fight the bad guys, or join them? Recover the treasure, or steal it? Whatever you decide, hilarious consequences will surely follow. Grow stronger, get smarter, and gain favor (or not) with the Gods who'll be judging you at every step of the way. Each player has 3 tracks on their player board corresponding to the 3 Gods. Appeasing them or displeasing them will buf or debuff your hero! Your hero board comes with multiple dual-layers slots where you'll evolve your hero's abilities. Complete quests to level up your hero and eventually take on boss level challenges to recover a set number of dragon eggs before your rivals. Whoever claims the desired amount of dragon eggs will win the game. (Solo and co-op modes also available for different types of adventures!) -description from the publisher
