DC Deck-Building Game: Crossover Pack 13 – The Death and Return of Superman

Experience one of the most iconic DC storylines of all time! Combine The Death and Return of Superman Crossover Pack with any DC Deck-Building Game base set to play through the historic ’90s saga that shocked comic book readers everywhere. Featuring art from the unforgettable storyline, this Crossover Pack lets you recruit a team of Heroes and fight to stave off the destruction running rampant in a world without Superman. The gameplay brings the epic, multi-part comics event to life through Chapter cards, letting you experience the full story over the course of a single game. Chapter 1, “Superman vs. Doomsday” Players begin as helpless onlookers, without a Character card, as they watch the Man of Steel take hit after crushing hit. Each time a player gains a card with cost 5 or greater, they secretly decide where two of the Character cards will enter the game, placing one under this Chapter to appear during Chapter 2, and the other under another Chapter card to appear during Chapter 3. When there are no Character cards left to assign, Superman has died, and Chapter 1 flips over to reveal… Chapter 2, “Funeral for a Friend” The Character cards placed under this Chapter gather to pay their respects—or their curses—and form a Character Line-Up for players to Recruit from at the start of their turns. Once every Character has left the Line-Up, the funeral is over and this chapter is returned to the box. Chapter 3, “Reign of the Supermen” & “Regeneration Matrix” Chapter 3 features two cards. Reign of the Supermen allows players to Recruit Characters from in front of other players to their team at the start of their turns for the rest of the game, just as the four Supermen attempted to sway Superman’s friends and loved ones to support their efforts. Other cards in the set allow you to Recruit from your foes’ teams of Character cards, borrow their abilities, and earn rewards based on how you assemble your own team. The other half of the Character cards assigned all the way back in Chapter 1 await beneath Regeneration Matrix. As destruction looms over Metropolis (and poor Coast City), more heroes arrive to confront the mounting threats. The first time each player destroys a card that costs 4 or more each turn, they can Recruit a random Character card from beneath this Chapter. Once none remain, the next time a player meets that condition, the Chapter flips over and that player triumphantly Recruits Superman, Returned. With the Man of Steel back, the game races toward its thrilling final confrontation. Like Superman, destroyed cards won’t stay out of the game for long. Card destruction is a major part of this Crossover Pack, but so are ways to return cards from the destroyed pile. Knowing when to destroy a card—and finding ways to bring it back—is key to generating huge amounts of Power. And you’ll need every bit of it when it’s time to face the true enemy waiting at the bottom of the Nemesis stack… —description from the publisher
