DC Deck-Building Game: Rebirth (2019)

About this game

DC Deck-Building Game: Rebirth introduces movement to the DC Deck-Building Game universe through eight Standees, including Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, and Aquaman. Movement and spatial relations is an important part of the game. Protect your city! Move around 10 spaces of the "board" to buy the cards you need and to intercept Villains before they cause all sorts of trouble at their Destination. The game features both competitive and cooperative modes. In both modes, Villains do not go into a player's deck when defeated, but instead grant a one-time reward. In competitive play, defeated Villains give players victory points, then go under their superhero cards. The main way to play is the Co-op Campaign: 8 Scenarios, each in a resealable packet. Character progression and record-keeping offers legacy style play, but without any permanent changes. Replayable! Solo Mode! And more!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 4. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 2.7/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 15 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
