Tomorrow, 2nd September, I launch Starfall Catastrophe on Kickstarter. Before we step into this cosmic journey, I want to share the story — and the playstyle — of the first hero I created: Doctor Boon.

Doctor Boon isn’t a warrior, nor a champion of light. He is a manipulator, a scientist dabbling in forces he barely controls. In the lore, he walks the fine line between genius and disaster — and in the game, that’s exactly how he plays.

Doctor Boon’s Stats

Doctor Boon is defined by his 5 / 3 / 2 / 4 profile:

  • Tactics 5 → The master of control. He draws more cards, and he can field up to five Traps at once.
  • Skill 3 → His actions strike with precision, boosted just enough to sting.
  • Resilience 2 → His weakness. With only 20 Shield, he is fragile if exposed.
  • Mysticism 4 → Dark knowledge fuels him, scaling his spells and giving him the power to cancel magic once per turn.

This statline makes him the most cunning of the six heroes — not the strongest, not the toughest, but the one who always has a plan.

Hero Ability: Tactical Override

Doctor Boon’s signature power is called Tactical Override:

Once per turn, he may look at the top card of either player’s deck. He may leave it on top or bury it at the bottom.

This ability captures what makes him great:

  • He always knows what’s coming.
  • He rigs the flow of the game in his favor.
  • He sets the perfect trap because he’s already seen the future.

How He Plays

Doctor Boon’s deck of 39 cards is built around disruption and manipulation.

  • Traps punish reckless plays and turn enemy power back on itself.
  • Actions drain, twist, and trade resources for advantage.
  • Allies are assistants and experiments who exist to fuel his schemes.

He thrives on information advantage and mind games. Opponents are forced into awkward choices, never sure if they are walking into another carefully prepared snare.

Why Start with Boon?

Of all six heroes, Boon best represents the spirit of Starfall Catastrophe:

  • High stakes.
  • Clever play.
  • Fragile balance between brilliance and collapse.

He’s the perfect first step for players who love control archetypes and psychological duels.

Tomorrow We Launch

This is just the beginning. Tomorrow, 2nd September 2025, our Kickstarter goes live. Doctor Boon is the first hero — but five more wait to be revealed, each with their own story, stats, and unique abilities.

I can’t wait to share this journey with you.

Stay tuned. Tomorrow, we begin.

PS : On our end, we are starting with the next exciting hero High Priestess Nyra
