Misfit Heroes

Build absurd characters from transparencies, then win over Absurdia's citizens.

A card game where you build the characters before you play them, sliding a transparency over an attribute card so every deck is full of combinations nobody has seen before.

Transparencies create new charactersContracts drive card playDifferent deck every session

Who it's for

Players who love novelty and want a card game whose content is genuinely different each time you open it.

Not for you if…

You want a balanced competitive baseline, or building the deck before playing feels like an extra chore.

Vibe's take

Playful and unpredictable – half the fun is discovering what your homemade character actually does.
