Your inner superhero is ready to emerge, one chapter at a time. Reveal your backstory, gather gadgets and allies, develop a grudge against your archenemy, and unleash an ultimate ability as you transform. Use a combination of brains, love, speed, and strength to craft your origin story.

Origin Story is a 1-5 player competitive tableau-building, trick-taking game played over 5 rounds. Each round represents a chapter in your development and grants a new card to add to your player mat. Charge your cards and use their abilities to score more points than your opponents.

Joseph T. ★★★★★

My friends and I played this at game night and the chapter system kept everyone hooked from start to finish. Building my character's ultimate ability and watching the grudge mechanic play out was way more fun than I expected.

Stella ★★★★★

The way your backstory and grudge mechanics feed into your ultimate ability makes every game feel like a full origin arc. I’ve already played three sessions solo and it’s genuinely satisfying to watch my character evolve from a blank slate into a full-blown hero.

Joseph X. ★★★★★

We’ve played it three nights in a row already, and the way you stack backstory cards before unlocking your ultimate ability makes every game feel like a mini comic arc. My favorite part is how gadgets and allies show up based on choices, so no two origin tales play the same.
