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.
Pros and cons

Performance notes
Players begin with the same basic cards and add stronger ones as the game goes on, so the deck improves with every round. Victory Points on the cards in the final deck decide the winner, which rewards choosing cards that work together. The listing says it works with other DC Deck-Building Game sets and Cerberus Engine.
