About this board game

DC Deck-Building Game: Rivals – Green Lantern vs Sinestro is a two-player deck-building game with an approximately 60-minute play time, recreating the ongoing conflict between Hal Jordan and Sinestro.

Players take the role of either Green Lantern or Sinestro, beginning on an even playing field with identical decks. Use the cards in your hand and your character’s special abilities to buy bigger and better cards, gradually shaping a deck strengthened by your decisions.

The two sides offer distinct approaches to play. Sinestro focuses on attacks and forcing his opponent to take bad cards, while Green Lantern favors drawing extra cards and maintaining a strong defense. These contrasting strategies give each character a different path to victory.

  • The 98-card set includes heroes, villains, equipment, locations, constructs, and other features.
  • Each oversized character card has a cost of 9, 12, or 15 and provides a unique ability.
  • As characters are defeated, they become more difficult to take down and their abilities improve.

Players attack and defend as their decks become more specialized, competing until Green Lantern or Sinestro stands supreme over the other. The evolving character cards add a clear sense of escalation as the conflict progresses.

DC Deck-Building Game: Rivals – Green Lantern vs Sinestro is fully compatible with Rivals – Batman vs. The Joker and the Confrontations set. It is also compatible with all other Cerberus Engine games.
