DC Comics Deck Building Game

If you like DC comics, this game is for you. Really fun easy to pick up game that plays quick. Every version of this game is a little different and can be combined. Great game!

Deck building games usually take a bit to pick up, but this one is so easy to get into, and yet is still so much fun. My friends and I have played this game for full on nights now and we're all addicted already. Definitely gonna look into expansions and more core sets!

DC deckbuilding game is a solid deck builder themed around the DC Universe. It is easy to teach and learn. It sets up in under a minute with tear down and storage in 1-2 minutes. This was released in 2012 and still to this date there is no better deck builder themed in the DC Multi-verse maybe Forever Evil where you play as the Villains but hey in this game you get to play with all the Justice League heroes like Superman, Batman, Flash and Wonder woman. The gameplay is simple. Each player selects a starting hero while their decks are the same and they buy or gain cards through "power" the currency of the game. Adding these new cards to your existing deck makes it stronger to defeat the Supervillains and ultimately gain enough Victory Points (VP) and see which hero comes out on top. Each hero has their own unique ability, so there is some strategy involved in buying cards and the order in which cards are played to maximize abilities, power, etc. Why should you like this over Dominion or Legendary? It's simple! If you like DC Comics or the Justice league you will not be disappointed. The price is good at 29.99 There are many expansion packs to enhance your game play. I would say the original box can hold up to 3 additional crossover expansion packs with easy storage. And to be honest unless you are a collector 1 to 2 expansions is all you need to spice things up a bit.

Disclaimer: I am NOT a DC Comics fan. I'm a Marvel fan, but not a major one. I don't stay up on the comics, etc, though I will watch the movies. I've never been a big DC fan so this was a major step for me to play this game because I knew WHO the people were (at least the heroes) but not much else about them, and especially not a ton about most of the cards in the deck. Anyways, onward to the game! I was introduced to this game through a member of our gaming group. We played it a few times and I was given it as a gift a month later by my wife because we enjoyed it. I would never have picked this game up on my own from my FLGS because I don't really care for DC comics and wouldn't want to give it that much of a shot. It's outside my impulse buy expense limit- I'll buy a game for 20-30 bucks I know nothing about, but $40 is over the limit. Anyways, onto the CONCEPT of the game. Concept: The object of the game is to score the most points. Each player starts off with the same 10 cards and a different superhero. All the superheros have different powers and some are better then others (Green Lantern is bad at the start of the game, Flash is bad always, Aquaman is really powerful the whole game, and so is Wonder Woman). You draw a hand of 5 cards and any cards you buy go into your discard pile. You cannot save cards so you either play cards for their effect or discard them Cards give you power, which you use to buy cards from the center row (replenished at the end of the turn), a more advanced basic card anyone can buy, or a supervillain. Supervillains are worth the most points and once the stack of supervillains is gone (12 of them) the game is over, points are tallied, and whoever has the most points wins. This is the whole game, really. Some cards have attacks on them (all cards with attacks are villains but not all villains have attacks) which have different effects and (discarding cards, gaining weaknesses to your deck for negative points, and other problems) and can be blocked by certain types of cards (say defense on them). Game play is relatively quick and exciting and it usually takes us 20-30 minutes to play a 3 player game, so it is not a super long game. Thoughts: This game actually has a lot going for it. It's exciting and its fun to fight the villains, and most the games are enjoyable. As stated, I'm not a DC fan. However, this didn't stop me from having a fun time playing this game. I still don't know who all the characters are, and sometimes the effects of the cards bug me, like using the bat-signal to bring Superman from your discard pile to your hand, but I can let that slide for the sake of the game. However, it does have a few problems with it. Problems: The Man of Steel card as written is just TOO good and whomever gets it basically wins the game everytime because they are having 25+ power turns while everyone else gets 10 or so. We nerfed him by only letting you pull 1 of each kind of superpower from your discard pile so the play with superman doesn't buy all the kicks to have massive turns. Secondly, as stated earlier, not all superheros are created equal. This can be a big disadvantage to some characters and make the game not quite as a fun. We don't like playing with the Flash, while people with Aquaman, Wonder Woman, or Cyborg seem to win the most. This is just an observation, however. Final Thoughts: This is a really fun game. This is a great filler game and we usually play best of 3 tournaments to make the games more interesting. I'd recommend anyone who likes superheros to buy this, anyone who wants a quick, fun game that is different, and anyone who loves DC definitely should buy this. It's a lot of fun and was a lot more enjoyable then we thought. Though I'm still not a DC fanboy, I'll admit. But this help me like them a little bit more.

This is a really well done deck builder especially if you are a DC super hero fan. The object of the game is to have the most victory points when all the villains are defeated, You do this by collecting powerful cards and building up your deck to be able to defeat the villains. The majority of the game is played to attack the villain cards but there are some Player vs Player attacks to try to slow down your opponent in the process. This is a really well balanced game and it plays well with multiple player counts.

This is one of my favorite games right now. I've always been a fan of deckbuilding games and this is really popular with my wife and parents too.
