Game Flow

The game progresses in turns, with players alternating their actions. Each turn is divided into phases:

1. Player Phase: The active player takes their actions.
2. Villain Phase: The villain takes their actions, usually by activating cards from their deck or special abilities.
3. Cleanup Phase: Preparation for the next turn, such as drawing cards and resolving end-of-turn effects.

The exact order and details of each phase may vary depending on the villain and the environment cards in play. It is crucial to pay attention to the effects that may occur in each phase.

Actions and How to Play

During your Player Phase, you can perform a series of actions using the cards from your hand. The basic actions available are:

• Move: Allows your hero to move to another location on the board.
• Attack: Use attack cards to deal damage to the villain or other targets.
• Use Ability: Some cards allow you to activate special abilities of your hero or allies.
• Interact: Perform specific actions to complete missions or objectives.

Each card in your hand has a cost and an effect. You must spend the resources indicated on the card to activate it. The combination of actions and strategic card play are fundamental to success.

Card Types: There are different types of cards, such as Attack Cards, Ability Cards, and Movement Cards, each with a specific purpose.

Refer to the rulebook for details on each hero's specific actions and card effects.

End of Game and Scoring

The game ends in two main ways:

• Victory: Players win if they defeat the main villain and complete all necessary objectives before the loss conditions are met.
• Defeat: Players lose if the villain completes their evil plan, if the threat deck runs out, or if any other loss condition specified by the villain is met.

Scoring, if applicable, is calculated based on criteria such as heroes defeated, missions completed, and how well players managed threats. However, the main focus is on cooperative victory or defeat.

Refer to the rulebook for details on the specific victory and defeat conditions for each scenario and villain.

Tips for Winning

• Coordinate Your Actions: Communication and coordination among players are essential. Plan your turns together to maximize efficiency and cover each other's weaknesses.
• Manage Your Hand: Use your cards wisely. Some cards are more valuable at specific moments. Saving powerful cards for the right time can be key to turning the tide.
• Prioritize Threats: Be aware of the threats that appear on the board. Ignoring smaller threats can lead to bigger problems down the line, making it harder to achieve victory.
