For once you get to be the bad guys. Forever Evil is the third standalone game in Cryptozoic's DC Comics deck-building series, and it lets you play infamous Super-Villains instead of heroes. You start with a weak deck and buy stronger cards from the line-up each turn, with new Attacks, tougher Defenses and plenty of ways to mess with your opponents. Card destruction is rampant in this set, which is good news if you are tired of finishing the game with Starter cards still clogging your deck. Henchmen you leave behind do not count toward your score. Two to five players, about 75 minutes, ages 15 and up.

Who it's for

You like deck building with a comic-book theme and want to play the baddies for once.

Not for you if…

You have no interest in DC characters or want a peaceful game. Attacks hit other players here.

Vibe's take

Aggressive and thematic. You buy, attack and thin your deck, and the pace stays high because cards are constantly being destroyed instead of accumulating.
