About the game
What you do in a play session
Initially, your deck is modest, but each turn you have the chance to recruit new heroes – Spider-Man, Hulk, Wolverine, Captain America, and many others are waiting to join your cause. With these new allies, you strengthen both your recruiting power and your combat ability. It's a race against time: while you build your dream deck, minor villains and henchmen appear on the "Street," threatening the city. If the street fills up too much, the earliest villains escape, causing even greater problems for the heroes.
But the real challenge is the Mastermind. They have their own special attacks, and with each "Master Strike" revealed in the villain deck, they perform a bonus action that can turn the game upside down. Defeating villains and the Mastermind themselves earns victory points, and whoever has the most at the end wins the game. However, if the Mastermind manages to complete their evil scheme – whether by too many villains escaping or inflicting too many wounds on the heroes – all players lose. It's a semi-cooperative game where you work together, but only one can be the greatest hero!
