Our verdict

A compact deck-building card game where players take on DC heroes and grow stronger decks to beat the super-villains. It plays standalone, but the listing's age fields disagree, so rely on the teen and adult guidance.

Overview

A superhero fan with a few friends gets a standalone card game in which each player starts with basic fighting cards and adds more powerful ones. The player whose deck holds the most Victory Points at the end wins.

Deck building rewards planning, because the deck grows through the game and the final tally decides the winner. The smaller edition is easier to store and carry, and it links with other sets in the series. Playing time is not stated.

Who it's for

Newcomers to deck-building games who like DC characters, and groups of up to five. The starter size is a way into the series. Younger children and players who want a stated playing time should look elsewhere.
