About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to save the multiverse, because in Sentinels of the Multiverse, Earth is under constant attack! A mad scientist, an alien warlord, and a giant rampaging robot are among the threats you and your team of heroes must stop. This cooperative card game with a comic book flair will make you feel like part of your own Justice League (or Avengers).
Each player takes on the role of one of ten available heroes, each with their own fixed 40-card deck and unique abilities. Together, you'll face one of four iconic villains and their own cards, all within one of four dynamic environments that also have their own decks and rules, 'playing themselves' automatically. Each round, heroes play a card, use a power, and draw a new card, all while the villain and environment activate their actions, often bringing new cards into play.
The objective is simple yet challenging: reduce the villain's hit points to zero before they defeat all heroes or achieve their specific win condition. Sentinels of the Multiverse is an immersive experience that puts you at the heart of comic book action, with plenty of hand management strategy and synergy between hero powers. It's time to show who rules the multiverse!
