Legendary: A Marvel Deck Building Game
Legendary: A Marvel Deck Building Game review
I've been a Marvel fan since I was a kid, and I've always loved deck-building games, so when I saw Legendary: A Marvel Deck Building Game, I knew I had to get it. I've played it quite a few times now, and I can honestly say it's one of my favorite games. The core gameplay is simple enough to learn, but there's enough depth to keep things interesting even after dozens of plays. You're essentially recruiting heroes to build a deck that can fight villains and defeat a mastermind villain with their own special scheme.
The game's strength is its replayability. There are so many different combinations of heroes, villains, and schemes that you can play with, and each one feels different. I've played games where I've felt completely overpowered, and others where I've barely escaped with my life. One of the things that makes this game so appealing is that you can adjust the difficulty. If you're feeling ambitious, you can play with a more difficult mastermind and scheme. If you want a more casual experience, you can play with an easier mastermind and scheme.
Some reviewers have mentioned the game's setup time, but it's not a big deal to me. I actually enjoy the process of picking my heroes, villains, and scheme. It gets my imagination going and makes me feel like I'm really part of the Marvel Universe. The game also comes with dividers, which makes it easy to keep your cards organized. The only real downside is that the card art for the heroes isn't very diverse. Each hero has the same image for all of their cards, which is a bit disappointing. However, the expansions do have more diverse card art, so that's something to look forward to.
Overall, I highly recommend Legendary: A Marvel Deck Building Game. It's a fun, engaging, and replayable game that's perfect for Marvel fans and deck-building game enthusiasts alike.
