Fast and fun!
I picked up the DC Deck Building game during Prime Day and I've been having a blast! Setup is fast, and the gameplay gives me that addictive "Just one more hand!" feeling.The gameplay is easy to understand: You select a Super Hero, each of which have a unique power or edge. You use your starting cards to recruit stronger cards -- Heroes, Equipment, and even Villains -- which you then use to take down the Super Villains. Your chosen Super Hero, printed on a beautiful over-sized card, provides benefits that help you take down the forces of evil.I was most impressed at how easy this game is to set up and play: Once you know how to play, you can set this game up in under 10 minutes! The game uses barely any table space at all, and it's easy to put back into the box. There are no play pieces or dice that you risk losing. This isn't one of those games where you spend more time setting up than you spend playing.The "Heroes Unite" set has a hodge-podge of different Super Heroes: Shazam!, Bat Girl, Hawkman, Nightwing, Black Canary, Red Tornado, Booster Gold. Heroes Unite, as far as I can tell, seems to be the most "vanilla" of the starter sets: The other sets all seem to do different things, like add a 2v2 mode (Confrontations) or add an entirely new game-type and campaign play (Rebirth).There are some downsides. Although the art on the cards is beautiful, it's kind of a shame that you don't get a play mat or anything like that. The game comes with a storage tray, but it's not the best; there's enough space to store a couple sets of cards, but they could have had a lot more "space" if they cut it a little bit differently.The game also does not have a solo variant: There is a very good, fan-made solo variant on BoardGameGeek that uses Weakness cards as a count-down, but if you want an official solo version you either have to buy the Crisis Pack or get the DC Rebirth version of the game instead.How does it compare to Marvel Legendary? Legendary is more complex, with a game board and bystanders and schemes, but takes significantly more time and effort to set up and play. Legendary feels like it has a bit more variety, with all the different schemes and villains. I go for DC when I don't feel like doing a bunch of setup, or I'm playing with people who are new to card games.I recommend this to fans of DC Comics and people wanting a quick, fun card game.

A Bit Wacky, but a Worthy Sequel
The game plays much the same, though there is a bit more interaction between cards and card locations. The game has a tendency to get crazy with power levels, but that fits the theme. There are a few "you buy, you win" cards in the form of two copies of Sciencell and two of Saint Walker which respectively give you victory points equal to the number of villains or heroes in your deck at the end of the game. These cards are a must buy if you see them, and are easy game winners if they don't come up evenly on player's turns. I once won a two player game in which my wife bought 9 out of 12 super villains simply because I had the Saint Walkers and a Sciencell. We just play with one copy of each now, and have considered taking them out completely.The power rings mostly have fun effects but are missing that interactive quality you had with Suicide Squad, Moria Orcs and even Longbottom Leaf. Trying for the Kyle Rayner instant win is lots of fun when he comes out early, but it seems to be an exercise in futility. Most of the new super heroes are bad. Shazam is super fun, but his ability is usually not worth it if you're trying to win. Nightwing is like Cyborg, but with equipment only. He works well, but Cyborg is still better I think. Hawkman is a medium level Batman/Superman character, and the rest are just terrible. Like 'what were they thinking' terrible.The absolute best part of this is a page of new variant rules. My favorite of which is the version where you pull your hero's 'hero' card out of the main deck (the one you would normally have to buy from the line-up) and place it by your starter card. At any point in the game you can buy it as if it were in the line-up, but only you can buy it. This brings a lot more strategy to the game, and actually makes some heroes like Superman more playable. Wonder Woman still reigns supreme, though.All in all, despite some flaws, this game still gets an A+ because it's loads of fun.

DC Deck Building
This is a fun game. Not complicated and easy to play. As of now I have played many times, but only with/ against one other player. The art work is fantastic. They have some expansions to add cards and change up the game with a different dynamic to make it fresh. I have the birds of prey expansion (This has a card rotate dynamic. Fun, but makes game play much longer). Also have the first expansion Justice of Society, which basically adds new heroes to play as and villains to fight, as well as some other gameplay cards. Justice expansion doesn't change game dynamic only adds more cards for more fun. I cannot wait to get a game with three or four people to have even more fun. There are some DC Deck Building game reviews on YouTube that help understand game play and what comes in what set and all the expansions and what not. All in all it's good fun. Game play time can vary (45 mins to maybe 2 hours) depending on how many villains you fight and/or how many people you have playing.

Great game, wrong rule book
I love this game collection of DC deck building and the expansion Heroes Unite is probably my favorite. I was bummed though that the included rule book was for the Teen Titans variant. Overall good product just needs a second factory rule book check before shipping off.

Gioco dinamico e divertente
Questa versione di deck building game è certamente più divertente del precedente, con carte che hanno testi più articolati e dinamici, con personaggi diversi da quelli della justice league. Ma volendo si possono usare i due mazzi utilizzando parti dell'uno e parti dell'altro a proprio piacimento.
