Joystick Heroes’ family-friendly retro 80’s theme takes you back to the arcade for hours of button mashing and joystick juking. Easy to learn and easy to teach, with over 50 unique Games cards, including 7 unique Boardwalk games.

At setup, create your own arcade and choose your Hero. Pick your skills, grab 10 tokens, and you’re ready to play.

A round of Joystick Heroes consists of 2 phases: (1) In the PLAY phase, choose any available Game card in your arcade, place 1 arcade token on it, and play it by rolling a number of dice based on the skills the game requires and your own skill levels. Use your hand of Power cards to modify your rolls and boost your scores, and check the Top Scores chart to see what you win. (2) In the POWER UP phase, spend the tickets you won in the Play phase to upgrade your skills or purchase prizes.
