About this board game
Legendary: A DC Deck-Building Game is a cooperative deck-building game for 1–4 players, with games lasting about 60 minutes. Players take on the roles of DC superheroes and work together to stop a Mastermind villain, defeat associated threats, and overcome an evil Scheme.
Each game begins with a randomly selected Mastermind, whose unique Scheme creates a distinct challenge. As the conflict unfolds, players build their decks by recruiting Heroes and acquiring powerful cards that strengthen their abilities. Sidekick cards provide important support when confronting Villains and completing objectives that emerge during play.
A central Hope and Fear Tracker measures the overall state of the conflict. Its position affects when and how players can activate special abilities connected to their Heroes, making strategic timing and thoughtful decisions essential as increasingly difficult threats appear.

The core set features a diverse range of Heroes, Villains, Masterminds, and card types from the DC Universe. Together, these elements create multiple paths to victory and strategic variety from one game to the next.
To win in Legendary: A DC Deck-Building Game, players must defeat the Mastermind’s Scheme before the Mastermind achieves its objectives or the game state becomes unwinnable. Success depends on careful deck management, tactical card play, and coordinated use of each Hero’s unique abilities.
