Legendary: A Marvel Deck Building Game

Players take on the roles of rival teams of super‑heroes working together to stop a mastermind’s scheme while also competing for victory points. The game mixes deck‑building and tableau tactics: players recruit hero cards from a shared row to add to their personal decks, use cards’ recruit and attack values to enlist more heroes or fight villains, and balance building purchasing power with combat strength. Villains and master strikes appear from a villain deck each turn and occupy limited spaces; escaped villains and mastermind attacks advance the scheme. Defeated villains and claimed mastermind attack cards score points at the end, while a completed scheme causes all players to lose.
