If you like deck-building games such as Dominion and Ascension, two new releases in the shop.
The DC Deck-building game features more than 50 well known DC and plays quickly for 2-5 players. It’s £29.99.
Legendary is the Marvel deck-building game. With over 500 cards including Iron Man, Wolverine and Spider-Man 1 to 5 players can play cooperatively or competitively. It’s £49.99.
I have bought Legendary – picked it up while working out in America – and it is great fun. I strongly recommend it. The price point is high for a card game but you will have so much fun playing it time and time again that you will soon forget that.
I play this with my 5 year old son and he gets it (after a few games) so if you have a young’un who wants to play along then again, this is the game you want.
I own both DC deck builders (Base pack and Heroes Unite) and they are a lot of fun, personally i prefer the DC one over Marvel Legendary because it has a faster pace, easier to pick up and explain to new players, and also the artwork is individual for all cards (except generic kick/weakness etc), whereas i found Legendarys artwork to be reused over many cards, sometimes making it difficult to know which cards you have got, and too easy to accidentlly play the wrong one.
Also in December a new DC deck building game (playable standalone or combined with the other packs) ius coming called Forever Evil where you can play as the DC villains to bring down the justice league 🙂
