## Description
Get ready to dive into a world of mystical arts and urban perils with Legendary: Big Trouble in Little China! If you're a fan of the cult classic 'Big Trouble in Little China', this game is a direct plunge into the film's atmosphere. Here, you and your friends aren't just playing; you're trying to stop the villain Lo Pan and the fearsome Three Storms from taking over everything. The game operates in a semi-cooperative manner, meaning that while everyone is on the same team against the board, each player has a crucial role to play in securing the group's victory.

You can take control of icons like Jack Burton, Gracie Law, or the mystical Wang Chi, or even bring the legendary Pork Chop Express into the fray. The core mechanic is classic deckbuilding: you start with a basic set of cards and, as you progress, add powerful cards to your deck to execute schemes and master strikes worthy of the big screen. Unlike other versions in the Legendary line that use traditional boards, this one features a robust playmat that organizes the action, making it easy to track threats and strikes. It's a complete experience, featuring heroes, villains, wounds, and even those bystanders caught in the chaos. If you love deck-building games that bring the nostalgia of an iconic film straight to your table, this is your next destination!
