Legendary: Villains flips the Marvel deck-building game around, so you play the bad guys. Venom, Magneto, Loki and friends build decks of henchmen and powers while the heroes, from the X-Men to the Avengers to Spider-Friends, are the ones that stand in your way. It is a standalone box, so you do not need the original Legendary, and you can still work with the other players, against them, or somewhere in between. A deck grows with every card you recruit, and the turn is a satisfying loop of play, buy and fight. It plays solo or up to five, around forty-five minutes, and is a treat for fans of Marvel's rogues.
Who it's for
You like Marvel and deck building, and fancy playing the villains for once with friends or solo.
Not for you if…
You want a tight competitive duel or you dislike chaining card text. The game is a co-op against the deck, and it can be a bit fiddly.
Vibe's take
Punchy and combo-driven, with a comic-book grin. Your deck gets stronger each turn, and every good hand feels like a villain monologue.
