Get Ready for Critical Role: Heroes of Exandria Prerelease Events!

UniVersus returns to the magical, madcap world of CRITICAL ROLE with HEROES OF EXANDRIA! This exciting new Booster Set launches on March 7th as part of the celebration of Critical Role’s 10th anniversary, but you can get an early look at the newest characters and cards by attending a prerelease event!

WHAT IS A PRERELEASE?

Attending and playing at a prerelease event is the best way to get ahead of the competition–get your hands on new cards, see their mechanics and synergies in action, and get one step closer to building your perfect deck! If you’re new to UniVersus, you get the chance to meet new folks and get hands-on help learning how to play the game, experiencing Critical Role in an exciting new way.

At the event, you’ll pay for a prerelease kit featuring six booster packs and an event-exclusive prerelease promo card. With these, you’ll play a “sealed format” tournament, building a 40-card deck from your booster packs and jumping right into the action! Playing matches with other players at events lets you gain experience with UniVersus and is a great way to level up your gameplay!

SPECIAL BONUS FOR ATTENDING!

As if that wasn’t cool enough, you can also earn 120 BONUS LOYALTY POINTS if you sign up by January 31st and attend (and 60 BONUS LOYALTY POINTS if you sign up by February 28th) which you can spend in our Rewards Store for cool, exclusive items!
