Legendary: Marvel Deck Building Game

Product Review (submitted on October 1, 2015):

Can you defeat the mastermind before he is able to carry out his scheme?IN Legendary: Marvel Deck Building Game you will be battling the evil mastermind and their henchmen.

The setup is as easy as following the chart on the board (or in the manual). The number of heroes, henchmen, and villains will vary depending on the player count and which scheme the mastermind is trying to carry out. You then shuffle the heroes together, shuffle the bad buys into a deck and you are ready to go.

You will be using your S.H.I.E.L.D. agents to help recruit super heroes or battle the bad guys rampaging through the city. The hero cards will help improve your future attack or recruiting power. The special abilities match the heroes fairly well so the theme comes through in this case.

The game can feel stacked against you early in the game since you only have your basic cards for the first couple hands. Like with any deckbuilder, as you start cycling through your cards you will have a better performing hand as you move along.

This is a fun game has the comic theme nailed down and does feel like you are truly in a battle with the mastermind.
