How does this game compare to DC Comics Deck Building Game? This one is $20 more, is it worth it?

I haven't played the DC Comics Deck Building Game, but what I can say is this game is a total blast. I may be biased b/c I am a Marvel fan but each hero has common cards, rare cards and then 1 ultimate card. The starter Deck comes with 4 mastermind (Super villains) and there is a slew of Scenarios (Stories of the game) you'll have hours of non-repeat tasks.I say yes, the $20+ is worth it.

I played DC's Heroes, and although it's fun it doesn't seem to have much in the way of a 'storyline' other then beating up on the DC Villians. I have to mention I've only played the starting game set and haven't had a chance to play any of the expansion sets yet. With Legendary you have multiple schemes, rather then just fighting the villain, that get you to race against him and try and beat the enemy before he wins. And each game I've played has seem to more like a comic book story that you're acting out on the game board.I hope this helps.

If you're going to spend that much money I highly suggest you buy a booster box or two rather than this. The pull rates in this are really REALLY bad and a booster box definitely trumps this (like I said, in regards to pull rates"

Greed. Pure and simple. The game is apparently not made anymore and folks are trying to cash in on "rareness" or "collectability". I bought one back in 2000 for 7 dollars at Dollar General at a clearance rack. I have played it every day since for at least a few minutes...better than reading the paper on the throne :) I was looking to find another one in case this one wears out and have seen the most horrible prices for them. Even used ones on Ebay are 30 bucks or more and over 100 for ones in the package. Hasbro needs to re-release it (with new word lists and maybe upgraded a little)

First off the game is mature audience only. I and crabs adjust humiditity both agree that if you are interested in trying out the game, then ur first investment will be to buy the cards against humanity starter pack. It will come with all the rules (which you can choose to follow or not). I say investment because once you play, you will most likely want more cards. Enjoy and hope I answered your question.

Depends on the kid. My son was playing Dust Tactics with me when he was 5 (using just basic rules). He's 7 now and we just picked up Star Realms which he got down after just a couple of games. Try Star Realms, it's simpler than Legendary and a good gateway into deck building.

It's not like Yugioh at all. It's a cooperative game where you each have a certain amount of cards in your hand, but you do NOT get to look at them. You face them outwards towards your team. The objective is to build up the different color fireworks by giving hints/clues to your team about their hands and play them in the correct order. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=video&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CB0QtwIwAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DFZlk3rHbPcI&ei=8x87VO6wBNeAygS34IKAAg&usg=AFQjCNEGGanLdQ3e3nHWk8M7CeSAPuRENg&sig2=RZYCflLoI0y3rzBwWQBOkQ&bvm=bv.77161500,d.aWw

I've never played Ticket, so I can't compare to that, but I would say it's on the same level as Catan. You are playing your own game in a way but some of the choices you make affect the other players and you can trade cards with them. My whole family (11, 13 and 25 yo nephew) have really enjoyed it.

I find Dominion to have a much higher replay value. There are millions of combinations of cards to play with. Meaning that you have to devise a new strategy with every game... it is lots of fun. Only downside is the game doesnt really pick up until you get a couple expansions. It's not hard to become a master at the base set. If you give your kids this Base Dominion set, they will be begging for expansions to this in no time at all. It can get a little costly, but totally worth it. Awesome game.I have played both 7 wonders and Dominion. However, I haven't played any 7W expansions and own almost all of the Dominion ones, so take that into consideration. .

It's a good starter pack. My son plays the Pokémon Nintendo DS games and we wanted to learn the card game. It's good for starters because it has the rules and two decks (30 cards) for two people to learn with. Then you can combine the deck into one 60 card deck. That's what we did and then got my son a new deck. We enjoy it.

The learning curve is quite steep. I recommend thoroughly reading the instructions before playing and also suggest watching playthroughs and reviews on youtube (it helped me quite a bit). You do have to read cards throughout gameplay as well as refer to the rules quite a bit but don't let that deter you. The game is very enjoyable and once you read the rules, set up the game, and play through the first game they set up in the rulebook, it's pretty easy to catch on. The first setup might seem like a bear but it's worth it.

The differences are in the cards. There are simply new cards to add to your game with each expansion. There are more ideas based on recent pop culture, news, and horrible thoughts that are developed by the creators of CAH. IF you play the game as much as I do, these expansions are a must. The cards I have been playing with before the expansion simply lose their shock factor and interest after a while. It's nice to get new crap to make your friends read out loud in varying combinations.

Yes. Game varies quite considerably from resistance. The bluffing/lying aspect is what the games have in common. I have both and pay both. This game plays better in smaller groups when you don't have enough for resistance.

If you get the other games, you can then combine different pieces, and board pieces to change up the game. You can also just have a continuation of a dungeon after you complete the first one. I have played the Drizzt version and its fun. You win sometimes and you lose sometimes, it easy to setup and follow the rules. I find it easier than getting all friends together and trying to get them to make characters for a game.

The expansion packs give you a bit more variety. There are tons more cards to use, but also they are a bit more tame compared to the original game, or at least in my group of players. There are still a few cards that stand out, but over all, they are a bit on the mild side by comparison.

No and yes. Has an offline single player campaign (well you log on online but that's to save progress), well worth it for story alone.Also has online multiplayer where you can play vs other people. Oh, online is FREE, no subscription req'd.

I did get 5 copies of Premature Burial and 3 copies of a few other cards, but that's a given when you buy any booster box. War of the Giants is still worth it.
