Batman! Superman! Wonder Woman! Aquaman! The Flash! Green Lantern! Cyborg! The Justice League of America is ready for action – are you? Fight the never-ending battle for truth, justice, and peace in the DC Comics Deck-Building Game!

To start the game, each player chooses one of the seven over-sized hero cards, each of which has a special power, and starts with a deck of ten cards. Each turn, a player starts with a hand of five cards and can acquire or conquer the five types of cards in the game: heroes, villains and super-villains, equipment, super powers, and locations. To defeat villains, you'll need to have power – but when a super-villain is defeated, a new one comes into play, attacking all the heroes while doing so. Make sure you've acquired defenses – like superspeed or bulletproof powers, or The Batsuit equipment – to protect yourself from harm.

Craft your hero deck into a well-oiled machine to take on the most vile villains in the DC Universe in your quest for Victory (Points)!

Basic but lots of fun.

I picked up the Metal version of the game because I loved the comic storyline and I didnt own any DC based games. I had not played a deck building game before so it was all new and I found the rules were not clear in a few areas. Either way my friends and I had lots of fun playing the game but had gone through the cards a few times so I decided to get the core set and forever evil to spice things up. Their rules seem a bit more basic than Metal and essentially identical but opposite to each other. I havent had the opportunity to play the core set yet but it looks to have the same basic gameplay but with new abilities on the cards. Looking forward to playing.

I didnt give it 5 stars because as I mentioned I had played a few times with my friends and while we loved it and the game was different each time, after a bit you get a feel for which cards are good, and what combos to go for, and you’ve seen them all before and you want to spice it up. So bad news, the game can get a bit stale, good news is the game is good enough youll want to get a few expansions to keep it fresh.

Set a new expectation for deck building superhero games

This DC deck building game has a great theme with some straight forward ideas of games like Dominion, however being able to play as different superheroes fighting supervillains is a great new addition! If you really like this edition then I suggest you try the next edition 'Hero's Unite' as it takes this games concepts and blends both edition together really well!

Not enough meaningful choices.

I love deck building games but this one just didn’t do it for me. The first few times I played this it was fun but after that I realized that what ever we did we ended up winning in the end. Their just weren’t enough game changer decisions I would pass on this and get Marvel legendary instead or dominion if your looking for a good deck builder.

Must Have for DC Fans

An awesome and quick game. I love the art and simplicity of the game

Simple and quick paced, asymmetrical deck builder.

I really appreciate that each player uses a different super hero which will change how effective different cards will be for each player providing a lot of replay value.

The art is great.

Kelp: fun but a bit lopsided

My partner and I have played this a couple times from both roles and while it’s fun, it definitely feels like the odds are stacked perhaps a little too heavily against the shark. Because of this, it can be tough to convince people to play as it sort of feels like you already know who is going to win by which character you get. That said, I will still continue to play it for the challenge of trying to win with the shark…it will likely just not feature very heavily in my two player game rotation.

Tous ceux avec qui j'ai joué l'ont adoré!

Pour moi j'ai acheté les boitiers rouge et violet afin de jouer avec plus de personnes et ensuite j'ai acheté le coffret Deluxe pour l'offrir en cadeau.

Great game!

A great shedding game where you play poker hands and power cards.

Nightfall Lite but Not Nightfall 2.0

If you liked Nightfall, but thought individual creature combat was too tedious? You'll probably like this.

If you liked Nightfall but thought the game was too slow to ramp up, or too long to finish/hand out all wounds, you'll like this.

If you thought Nightfall's "Private Archive" claims ended to overpower the game based on luck of the draw, you'll like Unchained's 3x3 market grid.
-----
As far as deck builders go, I like Unchained. It will take awhile to really know the card power combos. The symbols look overwhelming at first, but are kind of intuitive once you're used to how the cards work. Combat is total offense vs total defense and result is one fatigue (wound). So no MTG-ish "creature 1 attacks player B and creature 2 takes 3 wounds against player C." It does speed up and simplify the game a lot. The 3x3 card market is brilliant. You can get cards you want and/or clear out cards you don't want your opponents to get. Much more variety of cards to cycle through than 8+2 archives = 10 cards to choose from per game.

Solid 4/5 all around. I'd give 5/5 if there was a happy medium in combat between Nightfall and Unchained. Not as super simplified as Unchained, but not like Nightfall's individual cards combat. Maybe a power on some cards "stays in play after combat" so there's a larger chance of different strategies than "I punch you, you punch me, repeat"
