In the two-player game Twelve Heroes, players are landlords who lead twelve units and aim to obtain land cards which are located in three regions. These land cards give you victory points, and the first player who has gained seven points wins.

Before the game begins, players choose twelve unit cards to construct a deck of their own. On your turn, you execute four phases: control, maintenance, income, and military. Military is the most important phase in a turn, during which you can muster, deploy, or move your units. You can also gain food. You consume action points to execute these actions. You need food to muster units and activate them. Managing food and maximizing synergies of units are the keys to winning the game.

Publisher's summary:

プレイヤーは領主となり、12枚のユニットを指揮して3つの地域に配置された土地カードの獲得を目指します。 土地カードには勝利点が記述されており、先に7勝利点を獲得したプレイヤーの勝利です。 ゲームの前に、プレイヤーは12枚のユニットカードからなる自分のデッキをつくります。 ゲームはターン性で、ターンは4つのフェイズ(支配・維持・収入・軍事)からなります。 ターンのメインとなる軍事フェイズでは、ユニットを召集・地域に派遣・地域から地域へ移動、という行動がとれます。また、食糧を直接的に入れることもできます。 これらの行動はアクションポイントによって実施されます。 ユニットの招集には食糧が必要であり、また、地域でユニットが活動するためにも食糧が必要となります。 食料のマネジメントとユニットのシナジーを最大化することがゲームのカギです。
