About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready, folks! Darkness is descending upon New York City with Legendary: Dark City, the first expansion for the Marvel deck-building game. If you enjoy controlled chaos and want more of your favorite heroes, this expansion is for you! You can now call upon heroes like Cable, Daredevil, Professor X, and Blade to face off against heavy-hitting villains like Apocalypse, Mr. Sinister, and Kingpin. It includes 350 new cards to amp up the game: 17 brand-new heroes (including X-Force and the Marvel Knights!), six new villain groups, two henchmen groups, eight sinister schemes, and five masterminds more powerful than ever. Each hero comes with four different artworks, which really helps in quickly identifying who's doing what. And there's more: a new 'Unique Bystander' mechanic rewards players who rescue civilians in peril. Dark City raises the level of challenge and fun, bringing more variety and strategies for those who already master the base game. It's time to dive into the dark streets and prove you're legendary!
