Who it's for

Solo gamers who enjoy dice-driven combat with narrative texture, and anyone drawn to Greek mythology looking for a game built entirely around a single hero's journey.

Not for you if…

You're looking for something to play with a group – this is a dedicated one-player game with no multiplayer option at all.

Vibe's take

Escalating and story-driven – each labor raises the stakes, dice rolls carry real tension, and the mood cards add an unexpected emotional weight to what could've been a straightforward monster-basher.

About this game

Hercules and the 12 Labors is a solo-only dice and card game that puts you in the sandals of the mythical hero, fighting your way through all twelve trials on the road to godhood. You'll roll and allocate dice to unleash abilities against legendary monsters like the Lernean Hydra and Cerberus, earning powerful rewards from each victory. Along the way, mood cards surface memories and emotions that test your resolve as much as any monster does.
