Description
"Legendary: A Marvel Deck Building Game" is a competitive deck-builder in the Marvel universe where players recruit heroes to battle villains and thwart a mastermind's scheme. Key mechanics include: - *Deck-building*: Players recruit powerful hero cards from a shared pool of five to enhance personal decks for recruitment and combat prowess. - *Villain row management*: Each turn reveals a villain to a limited row; overflows cause escapes that punish heroes and advance the mastermind's scheme. - *Mastermind confrontation*: Defeat the mastermind by claiming its attack cards with special effects; exhausting them ends the game for scoring. - *Master strikes*: Special villain deck cards trigger bonus actions by the mastermind (e.g., Magneto, Loki). - *Variable setup*: Select mastermind, scheme-modified villain deck, and subset of 15 hero decks (e.g., Spider-Man, Hulk, Wolverine) for diverse plays. Legendary: A Marvel Deck Building Game is a deck-building game set in the Marvel Comics universe where players cooperatively yet competitively assemble personal decks by recruiting heroes from a variable shared pool formed by shuffling a selection of 15 hero decks like Spider-Man, Hulk, Wolverine, Iron Man, and others. Setup involves choosing a mastermind villain such as Magneto, Loki, Dr. Doom, or Red Skull, stacking its attack cards beneath it, and tailoring the villain deck to the scheme. On turns, players reveal villains to a constrained row—where arrivals may trigger actions like kidnappings, overflows lead to escapes punishing heroes, and master strike cards prompt mastermind bonus actions. Players build recruitment to enlist more heroes and fighting power to defeat villains for victory points or assault the mastermind to claim its impactful attack cards; exhausting these ends the game with point tallying to determine the winner, but collective loss occurs if the scheme succeeds via escapes or hero wounds.
