Sentinels of the Multiverse review

Sentinels of the Multiverse is a cooperative card game where you and your friends become superheroes, battling against villains and environments in a comic book-themed universe. Each player chooses a hero with unique powers and a deck of cards that reflect their abilities. The game is controlled by the villain and environment decks, which "play themselves" with the top card being revealed each turn. On your turn, you can play a card from your hand, use a power from one of your cards in play, and draw a new card. The game ends when the heroes defeat the villain or the villain defeats the heroes.

I've really enjoyed this game! It's a fun, quick-playing experience that's perfect for a group of friends who want to work together to save the multiverse. The different heroes and villains each provide a unique challenge, and the environments add a third layer of complexity that keeps things fresh.

One of the things I like most about Sentinels of the Multiverse is that it's so easy to learn, but there's still a lot of depth to the gameplay. The rules are simple and straightforward, but the way the cards interact with each other can lead to some really interesting strategic decisions. I also really appreciate that the game is fully cooperative, so everyone is working together to win.

The only downside to Sentinels of the Multiverse is that it can be a bit overwhelming for new players. There are a lot of different cards and abilities to keep track of, and it can be easy to get lost in the details. But if you're willing to stick with it, you'll be rewarded with a truly engaging and rewarding experience.

Overall, I would highly recommend Sentinels of the Multiverse to anyone looking for a fun, cooperative card game with a comic book flair. It's a great game for fans of superheroes, and it's also a great choice for gamers who are looking for something a little different.
