DC Comics Deckbuilding Game: Dark Nights - Metal

The Dark Nights Metal expansion is a must have for the DC Deck-Building Game. It is very thematic in nature and adds ample gameplay to an already amazing game. If you’re a fan of the base game and are ready to turn it up a notch, I highly recommend this expansion.

The flavor and theme is great. It updates and keeps the replayability fresh for the basis of the system used.

This game is really awesome as it’s game mechanics are so different from the ones that came before it. It is really awesome how they designed it.

This might be the best version of the DC Deck Building Game. The fact that your heroes get captured so you get to use various heroes a game is amazing. If you have played the original and enjoyed it, there is no reason why you wouldnt like this version.

As a fan of the DC Deckbuilding games, this is my favorite of the core sets that I own. This set seems like an attempt to curb some of the criticisms I've seen of the previous sets. Dark Knights Metal isn't as snowball-y with several changes to core mechanics such as Super Villains when defeated grant a one-time reward rather than getting added to their deck, you then rescue a hero adding them to your team, but you also gain 2 weakness cards. A good chunk of attack cards target one foe so if someone is running away with the game focus them. Weaknesses also play a crucial role in that they they must be played first before other cards in your hand. If you play 2 weaknesses in the same turn, your hero card is captured and you must end your turn immediately. During the end phase you will be able to choose a new hero card, but losing turns can be a crucial turning point in any match. All in all a really fun expansion that makes some great strides.

Solid addition to the DCDBG line. Having your heroes change over the course of the game is kind of an interesting twist. The foil metal cards are really slick as well.
