In the final round of Origin Story, each player chooses a card that represents who they have triumphantly become as the result of their journey. This mini-expansion adds 21 new cards to the original deck of 10... and they're not all heroes.

In addition to 7 new superhero cards, we created 14 supervillain cards for the stories that have a more devious ending. They're all in the same deck.

Simply shuffle all superhero and supervillain cards (including superheroes from the original game) into one deck, then deal 3 cards to each player at the beginning of the game. The original game had players receiving 2 cards instead of 3 if you're playing with this mini-expansion.

Mia ★★★★★

Adding these 21 endgame cards fixed the one thing that bugged me about the base game — that final round felt a bit anticlimactic. Now everyone's last choice actually lands with a punch, and the villains especially got some nasty new options.

Eli ★★★★★

The 21 new hero and villain cards really change how the final round plays out, since everyone's ending now feels earned instead of random. We've played the base game a dozen times and this tiny addition made our last session feel completely fresh.

Joshua O. ★★★★★

Picked this up after our group had already played the base game a dozen times, and the 21 finale cards gave everyone genuinely tough choices in the last round. My usual strategy fell apart because two of the new villain endings fit my hero way too well.
