About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for a new challenge in Sentinels of the Multiverse with the arrival of Ambuscade! This world-famous French action movie star, Ansel G. Moreau, got tired of hunting animals and decided Earth's heroes would be his new prey. After a botched genetic experiment (which ended his acting career), Ansel gained energy manipulation powers and an inflated ego. Now, as Ambuscade, he uses his new abilities and an enviable arsenal to hunt the most powerful heroes, with a target list that includes none other than Haka! This pack introduces Ambuscade as a new playable villain, complete with his own 25-card villain deck, a rules card, and a character card. He adds an extra layer of difficulty and a new narrative to your cooperative experience, requiring heroes to work together to stop the relentless hunter's fury.
