About the game
Get ready to don your cape and jump into action with the DC Deck-Building Game! Here, the Justice League – featuring icons like Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, The Flash, Green Lantern, and Cyborg – is ready for battle, and you're part of it. To start, each player selects one of seven oversized hero cards, each boasting a special power that will shape their strategy, and begins with a ten-card starter deck. Every turn, you'll draw a hand of five cards and have the opportunity to acquire or conquer various card types: heroes, villains and super-villains, equipment, superpowers, and locations. To take down villains, you'll need to accumulate plenty of power. But beware! When a super-villain is defeated, a new one emerges, attacking all heroes at the table. It's wise to have defenses at the ready, such as superspeed, bulletproof powers, or even The Batsuit, to protect yourself. The key is to craft a deck that operates like a well-oiled machine, capable of facing the DC Universe's most vile foes and securing victory (and plenty of points!). It's a deck-building game that places you right at the heart of heroic action!
