Origin Story Heroes & Villains Mini Expansion (EN)

Replay the final round of Origin Story with twice as many ways to close out your story! This mini-expansion slips 21 new closing cards into the original deck of 10, including 7 brand-new superhero cards and, for the first time, 14 supervillain cards. Your character no longer has to become a perfect hero: they can also give in to their grudge and embrace the dark side of their origin.

In practice, you simply shuffle all the superhero and supervillain cards (including the ones from the base game) into a single deck, then deal 3 cards to each player at the start of the game instead of 2. That small tweak changes a lot: more choice, more replayability, and extra tension at the moment you reveal who you truly became.

You'll likely enjoy this expansion if you already own Origin Story and want to stretch the fun without adding bulk to your games. It's aimed at groups who like a final round that changes every time, and at anyone who has always wanted to play the villain instead of the hero.

Interesting fact: before this expansion, no supervillain card existed in Origin Story, which limited the variety of each story's final chapter. On top of tripling the number of available closing cards, the expansion bumps the end-game hand from 2 to 3 cards, multiplying the possible combinations.

Created by Jamey Stegmaier and Pete Wissinger, also behind games like Scythe, Wingspan, and Viticulture, and illustrated by Clementine Campardou, this expansion carries the same polished approach as the base game.

This expansion requires the base game Origin Story to be played.
