What you do in a play session
Time to suit up! In DC Comics Deck-Building Game: Heroes Unite, you step into the boots of iconic DC Universe heroes like Shazam, Hawkman, Nightwing, Black Canary, Batgirl, or the unforgettable Booster Gold. Each hero boasts a unique ability to spice up your strategy. The game starts simple: a basic ten-card deck, and each turn, you draw five cards to see what fate has in store. 'Power' is your currency, used to supercharge your deck by acquiring new, stronger cards. Want to get stronger? Invest in Villain cards to defeat them, Hero cards to team up, Equipment to gear up, Super Power cards to unleash incredible abilities, or Location cards that can shift the game. The goal is straightforward: build the most efficient deck, defeat the most feared DC villains, and rack up Victory Points. And the best part? You can mix and match cards from Heroes Unite with the core DC Comics Deck-Building Game for epic, even more diverse showdowns. If you enjoy the thrill of watching your deck grow and become more powerful each turn while battling iconic villains, this game is for you. Get ready for devastating combos and to show who rules the DC Universe!
