Summary
- Darrington Press is releasing a new cooperative card game, Caper Cards: Bells Hells, where players can use the heroes from Critical Role's current campaign to pull off their own heist.
- The game includes 24 Crew Cards, each with unique skills and values, and players must work together to exceed the value of the treasure without going over 21.
- Caper Cards: Bells Hells taps into the early days of Campaign 3 and is one of the many new games released by Darrington Press, expanding the Critical Role experience.
Critical Role's Bells Hells are back for another heist, but this time you get to run the crew. Darrington Press has had a huge year with the release of Queen By Midnight and Candela Obscura, which uses Darrington Press' own The Illuminated Worlds System. Inspired by the Bells Hells heist of the Twilight Mirror Museum earlier in the current campaign, Darrington Press' newest release, Caper Cards: Bells Hells, gives players the chance to use the current heroes to pull off their own caper.
Campaign 3 of Critical Role is exploring questions about the world of Exandria, culminating in a story that spans all three campaigns. Characters from Campaign 1 and Campaign 2 have returned, with the impact reverberating through their lives. This ragtag group of misfits may have the most dangerous mission yet, as the question of whether the Gods of this world deserve to be saved is at the forefront of their minds.
More About Caper Cards: Bells Hells
The new Critical Role Campaign 3-inspired game comes with 24 Crew Cards, 3 of each member of Bells Hells, including Dorian Storm, each with their own unique value and skill. The box also includes 1 Risk Card, 9 unique Reward cards, a reference card, and the rules. Caper Cards: Bells Hells is a cooperative card game that can be played by 1-4 players, with each round lasting roughly 20 minutes. Caper Cards: Bells Hells was designed by Many Vega with art by David Rodrigues and graphic design by Matt Paquette and Co.
Caper Cards: Bells Hells taps into the early days of Campaign 3, with the heroes having a bit of a criminal streak. Critters can be a part of the adventure, with the Bells Hells acting as their team in a collaborative heist. The player or players using their Crew Cards will work together to exceed the value of the treasure without going over 21, similar to blackjack. Each Crew Card not only includes stunning art of the Bells Hells features and the numerical value of the card, but also an extra ability unique to them.
Chetney, The Trickster, can be used as a 6 or a 9, while Orym, The Fixer, can add a +1 to the Crew score for every other "heart card" while in play. Darrington Press has released a ton of new games; some, like Caper Cards: Bells Hells, are inspired by Critical Role, while others, like Queen By Midnight and Candela Obscura, have their own unique world and story. Critical Role continues to expand beyond the Dungeons & Dragons series with Darrington Press publishing novels, comics, animated series, and beyond.
Caper Cards: Bells Hells will be available for purchase at Critical Role shops and Darrington Press Guild stores on October 10 for $14.99.
