Legendary: A Marvel Deck Building Game - S H I E L D Review with Tom Vasel

[@ThymeKeeper]

"Expanding bullets, also known colloquially as dumdum bullets, are projectiles designed to expand on impact. This causes the bullet to increase in diameter, to combat over-penetration and produce a larger wound. " That's why :)

[@SkywalterDBZ]

It's weird that you mention the MCU and only reference Winter Soldier and then state that if you don't read the comics you won't know these people. This expansion is HEAVILY based on the TV show which many non-comic readers watch, but perhaps you don't watch and didn't realize..

[@thedicetower]

Good point! I haven't watched the show.

[@MaurienDenEngelsman]

@@thedicetower you should.. It's awesome!!

[@comicfan1023]

im looking forward to adding this to my legendary collection. I already ordered and it should be coming in the mail soon.

[@avj317]

Love the addition of new Shield Officers and Undercover mechanic

[@jackiejlw5493]

Hm, normally I side with the comics image of characters but the Melinda May card seems wrong without Ming-Na Wen. Fun game, looking forward to getting the SHIELD set. Thanks, Tom! :)

[@joshroberts8278]

It’s a really fun set and if you are a fan of the show you will definitely want to pick this one up.

[@diceingaround8468]

I love the marvel legendary

[@cassandracastro2759]

So they're more based on the Agents of SHIELD series? Mmmm, I was looking for a Maria Hill hero card.

[@EvanSawyer4]

Is that how Fitz-Simmons look in the comics?

[@gamera2351]

Are Yo-Yo, Melinda May, Fitz & Simmons comic book characters? I thought they were just characters from the Shield TV show.

[@komo867]

They were created in the show but later adapted for the comics

[@Organous]

As of this set, literally all of our stacks are face-down, unless you count the Villains things, which will never receive any updates. Wounds, Bystanders, Officers, Sidekicks... everything is face-down. So, I think we can realistically have the conversation: how much does it matter to keep everything face-down? All these stacks kind of make the game look extra bland with the Legendary logo all over the place. I probably would feel better if they were face-up and we had a lot more art looking at us.

[@FanPaul]

Well, it matters. you have to keep it down, because before the update of stacks, every card was the same, so it didn't really matter if it was seen. With updates it is not OK to see if there is just Maria Hill card next in Officer Stack or special S.H.I.E.L.D. Officer. Because nobody wants to buy regular Maria Hill just to leave your friends with potential good officers. Same goes for sidekicks, bystanders and wounds. And if the back was different, it can make a lot of mess in tactics as you will know which card is next in your deck - which is quite game breaking as some of the cards count on probability/luck based on what is next in the deck. So even when it looks uneventfull, there are good reasons to keep it face down and have the same backs as other cards.

Great expansion

Tom was popping his collar in this video.

[@gregorycook3550]

3 yrs later and I just now noticed the collar.

[@diceingaround8468]

Woohoo first comment

[@rb4551]

gah i do noooot get the hype for this game...so uninspired and simple...

[@fathervader]

Have you played it?

[@rb4551]

@@fathervader yup. I bought base game based on recommendation and was like...ok....that was not that fun....then told to buy dark city because that "really fixed the game" so I managed to find a copy....and it was better but still quite meh. I come from Aeon's end so I suppose if you never played a deck builder other than dominion you may be more impressed.

[@fathervader]

Okay. Just checking... :)
