I love how even though the video is long I haven’t lost focus. You’re very articulate and informative which makes it easy to keep focus! Thank you!

Very kind of you to say Brandon - glad to hear it!

Learned Dice Masters, Legendary, and Descent recently through your videos and recently purchased all three. You are the Mr. Robinson of Boardgaming! Seriously, love the show and your teaching style!

Is this one or dice master any fun , i havnt played either , dice masters seems a bit more organized

This helped me so much thanks man!

[@BoardgameLiker]

It's great to see your evolution over the years in presentation and technology.

[@WatchItPlayed]

It has changed a bit :)

[@chuckeldridge4981]

Love coming here to learn to play a game before I buy. You were so young!

[@WatchItPlayed]

It's been quite a journey!

[@lukegrim536]

Just played this with the family yesterday and I missed x2 small rules, and wouldn't have caught it without watching this. Much appreciated!

[@WatchItPlayed]

So glad the video helped - good luck on your next adventures!

[@AaronWilsonDreams]

I like that you say "kurds"

[@WatchItPlayed]

Aaron Wilson Ha! Yes, some people do hear it that way :)

[@WatchItPlayed]

Atlantic Canadian. I can't hear it of course, being that I'm the one saying it - but universally, it has been remarked that there is a noticeable difference in how I say cards :)

[@Esmoure]

I am a visual learner - without this I would have not figured out how to play. Thanks for making this. I was a little confused because the starting turn you showed was not a starting hand. I figured it out though just took me a couple of rewatches.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Sorry for any confusion, but glad the videos helped overall!

[@NomisGnos]

***** I have to say I agree with Leo McNeil . I think it had to do that we didn't see it played in a way. I had to watch the gameplay and revisit this video just to understand because there was so much to know about. This is my opinion, and you may have to experiment making a video for another game like this and see if this will work: 1) Go REALLY basic with the rules. I think you went too deep into talking about the cards that had "Ambush" "Fight" effects save that for gameplay. It was just way too much information for us newbies, it made sense to you after you played it and after I watched the gameplay video. 2) Maybe separate the video from setup from how to play would help. 3) This may make things a little harder for you but you should add video effects on your videos. For example, highlight areas on cards rather than pointing. when you pointed out the "attack points" on each card, I think it would be easier if it was highlighted with video effects at the same time and then show how it was added together. Especially the "super power ability" part (for gambit's stuff). I don't like comparing apples to oranges, but check out Geek & Sundry's video and see how "popups" appear to show users how it was calculated and what things do. We always have the pause button if we need to use it. Final thought about "popup" information. It would be nice to have you show the order of play as well so we can follow along. we heard you talk about it but I lost sight of it because there were so many other rules from it. so for this game, you would show a REALLY basic instruction : 1) Draw villian card 2) Lay out cards [a] attack. [b] recruit [c] etc. 3) discard etc. Keep up the good work and thank you for doing these things! I am sure it's a lot of hard work and we thank you!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Simon Song Some things have changed as our series has grown in how information is presented, which may address some of these ideas. It's an interesting challenge trying to satisfy the learning needs of each gamer. Thanks for the feedback.

[@vagabondriot]

I played this for the first time tonight. I hadn't really given it consideration or even watched your videos on it because I'm not a huge fan of the comic book hero theme. However, I was blown away with how fun it was. This was the first deckbuilder I've played other than Dominion, and boy was it fun. Now I actually am going to buy it and here I am watching your videos

[@WatchItPlayed]

So glad you ended up enjoying this one!

[@wolfcheese]

Thank you for this! I just got the game and watched this bit by bit as I started my first game, it helped me get into things very quickly.

[@WatchItPlayed]

So nice to hear!

[@bookaddict777]

Thanks for another great rules explanation, Rodney. I am really looking forward to seeing you and Luke play this game. I just received my copy on Friday.

Finally got a chance to play with my family last night and your video really helped in explaining the Superhero abilities work. Very good video!!

[@WatchItPlayed]

+Reginald Matthews Glad you enjoyed the video Reginald!

Another superb description Rodney -- just what I needed to take the plunge into this great game. My daughter and I tackled it on Saturday morning and it was very enjoyable.

[@WatchItPlayed]

So glad you both enjoyed it!

Holy Gorgonzola, that intro was AMAZING! I love the steady (and huge) leaps in the production quality of your videos. Can't wait for this one, this is the only game you've showcased that I already bought, but I'm stoked for the series regardless.

[@WatchItPlayed]

It was fun doing that intro :)

[@ArrestedDeveloper]

I bought this game after watching this video way back in the day and finally got around to playing it. I won :D Thanks for the tips Rodney.

[@knownachilles5725]

So I normally watch your videos on how to play a board game before I buy it to be sure it’s going to be a good fit with my game group. I played this game at a buddy’s last weekend and I ordered it from my local game store with dark city, new mutants and guardians of the galaxy. I’m just watching this bc I’m excited to play it again. Thanks for all you do and keep up the great work.

Fantastic tutorial, I just got back from Gencon 2014 and purchased this game on sale ($45, yay). The wife and I read the rules and played the first game scenario and LOVED it...I watched this to make sure we played right lol and we actually did. I just want to say though that you covered everything very good and I sub'd. Haven't checked yet but I purchased Ascension (awesome) and Dead Panic (just read the rules at this time)!!!!

[@WatchItPlayed]

So glad you enjoyed the game AND the video :) If you check out playlists you'll see all the other games we've covered.

[@hoperedler2139]

Thank you!! Having played several deck builders, I was wondering why the official rules for this one seemed needlessly complicated. Watching this video really helps. They should pay you to write a new rule book for them. :)

[@WatchItPlayed]

I know a lot of work goes into writing rulebooks, so I don't know if I'd want to write them, but I certainly wouldn't mind being part of a group that proofreads them before the games hit the shelf.

[@russellcampbell5261]

Thanks for this, very informative. It cleared up a lot of things that aren't that clear in the rule book. I'm playing this game solo but your video was still a great help. Keep it up...

[@metal134]

Actually, I got in my first play right after watching this video. I lost on the very last turn. I had the Dark Portal scheme facing Loki. 6 of the 7 schemes were out and there was ONE villan card left. I needed 11 damage to beat Loki because of the Dark Portal, but could only muster 10. Next turn of course, the final villan card had to be flipped and it was the final scheme twist. It was a very tense game.

[@pedrocruz5947]

Some questions: If you have enough attack points, can you attack two villains? Can you play cards, attack, buy and then play more cards? (in any situation it makes sense) Or asking in a different way, can you only buy/attack/play once per turn? If I understood correctly, every player turn you draw from the villain deck, right? Or is it as a team and you only draw once and then all players get to play? Let's say you buy 3 cards and run out of cards in the hero deck. Do you keep the cards you had, shuffle the discard pile and continue?

[@WatchItPlayed]

1) You can attack multiple villains on your turn. You must apply damage 1 villain at a time though, finishing off the first before moving onto the second. 2) You may buy/attack/play in any order. If you end up with more cards in your hand, you can continue to play them after buying. Remember though, cards that you buy will normally end up in your discard pile. 3) You flip a villain card during each player turn. So in a 3 player game, a villain would come out at the start of each of those player's turns. 4) If the Hero Deck runs out, do not reshuffle it. Unless the game has been won or lost by the end of the turn in which the deck runs out, the game will end. It will be considered a draw between good and evil, and the player with the most VP will win.

After a while you don't notice the characters have the same or different artwork. There are benefits to both ways. The Different styles is more visually appealing and makes each power more distinctive. Where the similar art on a single hero helps with the sorting after the game.

Even though this is an older one, I'll start by saying awesome video.... I watched a few different reviews and tutorials, but I found yours the most helpful - not too long but still covers everything rather well... 2nd thing I'm gonna say is I've never played a deck building game, but I do love Marvel... I'm thinking of ordering this base game within the next week or 2 - if I like it, I'll probably order an expansion or 2 (or more) down the road.. heard "Dark City" is the first expansion I'll want to get ;) My only real question is do you consider this game to be a good deck building game for beginners to the deck building world?

[@WatchItPlayed]

Hey John, thanks for the kind words! I don't actually review on this channel, so I can't help with that question (the answer will be different for different people)

[@johnspearing147]

@@WatchItPlayed Watching a few vids which also included some gameplay... I think it suits me very well - I'm just not sure on some of the others I'd be trying to introduce it to ;) None of us have ever played any deck building games before - and it's all adults with the youngest two being an 18 year old mom and a 22 year old college student, where as the oldest is well over 50 and a couple 40 somethings like me mixed in... sometimes it's tough to teach an old dog new tricks, lol... but I know I'd enjoy it as long as the other do too... I feel like I want to give it a try but I'm not sure if it's the best beginner deck building game or not - looks like it's got the most expansions so it appears to be the best for adding more down the road if it does go good - although it might get pricey adding too many, it would constantly keep adding to the replayability... I'm probably around 90% towards buying it - but the 10% still has questions, lol thanx anyway bro - I knew you didn't give full out reviews, but thought you'd have enough experience with deck builders to give your opinion on if it's a good deck builder for beginners that have never tried deck builders before - I wouldn't hold it against you if someone disliked it ;)

[@WatchItPlayed]

@@johnspearing147 It's really tough to assess what is good for beginners, because even beginners have different levels of interest, skills, capacity, etc. I've seen beginners dive right into very complex games, and novices struggle with the most basic of concepts. I just stay out of trying to make those assessments, and leave it to the viewers to assess the best they can for their own groups (as they will be the experts in that regard). That said, the nice thing about a co-operative game like this, is that you can play it solo yourself and make sure you have a full grasp of the rules, and then map out a strategy for how to introduce it to your group. All the best!

[@WatchItPlayed]

That's right, you will draw from your deck each turn, once it's gone, you create a new deck again by shuffling your discard pile (which may now have new cards that you bought in the previous turns). Hope that helps. If you watch a couple episodes of the play through, it may help clear this up.

[@jodicraigen2857]

A Captain America card question regarding colours. Typically you need an additional card for an effect to apply but when you play "Avengers Assemble" for example, does the card you played also count as its own colour or do you need an additional yellow card for it to count? (It says "for each color of Hero you have" so I'm leaning toward he would count but I just want to be sure). Thank you in advance for any insight you might have.

[@WatchItPlayed]

This effect does not have a special symbol in front of it, so it is triggered when played and would count the Captain American card itself.

[@hashprime]

Hey Watch It Played! Great videos and Kudos to you for being smart enough to do something like this. 10 years ago I was at a Gencon and I took my video camera and recorded myself playing the Anachronism card game and put it on KZbin. I was thinking back then...why oh why dont game makers put their games on youtube or the internet for exposure and people to learn? Hope this channel works out well for you as it is something I should have done! On the topic of Marvel Legendary..We liked the game a first, but as we got the expansions then the game seems to get out of hand with card combos and effects and layered game effects. Like when a person plays multiple @ (super power) symbols. We had to remember each @ only triggers once but playing another could trigger the last card but not the card before that. But now having the Dark City expansion, we argued over Iceman whose card says "for each other @ played this turn." Okay so is Iceman special and no mater how you lay your cards down and the @ triggers multiple times? And that just makes the game confusing having the straight up rule in the book but now this card supersedes the rules? And when a card says Rescue a Bystander (Xavier, Jean Grey) can these be Bystanders in play? Or do they come off the extra Bystander stack? Or can the player chose which? When the game flows we like it but when people get card combos that keep them drawing and drawing and their turns take several minutes the impatient people at the table develop a lot of angst unfortunately. And also we get to debating the gray areas of card text or rules so now we dont play it as much or chose a different game to play unfortunately.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks for the kind words about the videos :) As for your experience with the game, perhaps for your group, avoiding the expansions is a good idea? Or the game may just not be a good fit overall for your set of gamers.

[@hashprime]

***** My gaming group would be correct. I am the only Super Hero Geek among them. I would have to find similar genre of players to play games like Super Munchkin, Legendary, or any game Super Hero themed. They are more Agricula, Settlers, and Pirate cove types. We might just need a rules guru for more complex level of plays (a judge) as we kabitz too much or mechanics over games with layers. Thanks for responding so quickly and keep up the good videos!

quick question is it possible to combine this game with the DC comics deck building card game? would be cool to see both in action 😊

[@WatchItPlayed]

I don't think that would work - those are two different systems.

[@gimili1000]

Could you clarify more on building the villain's deck? Specifically when it says "groups"? I do I add all "hydra cards" for example? Can you give me a specific example for building a deck for 2 players? I tried a game and I may have been extremely unlucky with twists, enemies and schemes. The villain's deck ran out super quick so that makes me think I did something wrong.

[@WatchItPlayed]

It's a little tough. I shot this in 2012 and haven't played for a good while. Perhaps it would help to watch this section again kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooPWkIaei7mAa7s and let me know specifically which part you aren't sure about? To try to answer your question more directly, if you picked Hydra as one of your groups, then yes, you would take all the cards that are called Hydra. If you were setting up for your first 2 player game as explained in the rule book (page 3), it says you use HYDRA, Spider-Foes and Sentinels as your 3 groups.

​@@WatchItPlayed Yeah, I re-watched that section a fair number of times trying to figure it out. You say "Dr doom always leads the henchmen group with the doombots" at 4:50 of your video. I see the Red Skull card says "Always lead Hydra". Does that mean I use the 3x Hydra kidnappers? Or the 3x Endless armies of Hydra? or both? Do these count for your 2 "villain groups" needed to start a 2 player game? Or do you still add both of them and still add 2 more "villain groups" on top of this? Do I also Include the card "Viper, (Villain-Hydra)" and "Supreme Hydra, (Villain-Hydra)"? Sorry this is a lot of questions to throw at you, but I am just trying to give specific examples.

[@WatchItPlayed]

@@gimili1000 No worries, but above when I said "To try to answer your question more directly, if you picked Hydra as one of your groups, then yes, you would take all the cards that are called Hydra.", does that clear it up? The hydra group is ALL hydra cards. The Sentinels group is ALL Sentinels, etc. This specific section tells you how to identify the groups: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooPWkIaei7mAa7s (it explains that they might have different names, but their GROUP is in the subtitle).

[@gimili1000]

@@WatchItPlayed Yeah that helps a lot. thank you!

@@gimili1000 Have fun playing!

Another thing I was wondering , if mystique escapes she becomes a scheme twist , does that counts towards the 7 schemes so evil wins ?

[@WatchItPlayed]

If the scenario says evil wins when there are 7 schemes revealed, and you already have 6, and then Mystique escapes (and becomes a Scheme), then yes, because you have 7 schemes revealed, you lose.
