Legendary: A Marvel Deck Building Game (Second Edition)

Welcome to Legendary®: A Marvel Deck-Building Game! Evil Masterminds like Red Skull, Doctor Doom, and Loki lead a horde of powerful Villains to crush the Marvel Universe. Every time you play, the Mastermind will choose a different evil Scheme to pursue. Only you can stop them, leading awesome Marvel Heroes like Spider-Man, Iron Man, and Wolverine! Celebrating over 10 years after Legendary® first launched, this is the expanded-and-improved Core Set Second Edition. In this game for 1-5 players, each player starts with their own deck of basic Hero cards. At the start of your turn, you play the top card of the Villain Deck, representing moments when Villains invade the city, capture Bystanders, and create special events. Then, you play Hero cards from your hand to generate Attack, Recruit, and special abilities. You use Attack to fight Villains. You use Recruit to gain stronger Heroes to improve your deck. Whenever your deck runs out of cards and you need more, you shuffle your discard pile to make a new deck, including all the new Heroes you recruited. This way your deck gets stronger and stronger over time. Build up enough Attack and you can fight the evil Mastermind! But be careful: if the players don’t defeat them quickly enough, then the Mastermind will complete their dark Scheme, win the game for evil, and all players lose! Even with about 250 cards that have been redeveloped to be more flavorful, fun, and balanced, this Second Edition Core Set is completely compatible with previous Legendary Marvel releases.
