The DC Deckbuilding Game has been a great follow up to the Penny Arcade deckbuilding game (also by Cryptozoic).
Like Penny Arcade, it is quick to set up, easy to learn and fun to play. It is a game that my non-gaming friend can enjoy. I especially like how each superhero provides you a unique strategy in game play.
But some of my more experienced gaming friends, who have played other deckbuilding games, will ask "Why should I capture a villian if he will only end up attacking my teammates later in the game?"and "Why is Superman using Wonder Woman's lasso or why is Wonder Woman driving the batmobile?"
To which I answer: "This is all just a training exercise. We are in a holographic gym training to be better fighters using any means necessary."
If anyone runs into similar concerns, I suggest prefacing the game with "Now, I know we are all on the same team but for now we are entering into a training scenario where anything can happen."
I'm looking forward to more DC fun with the Batman two-player game and also the next deckbuilding game from Cryptozoic, Lords of the Rings.
Keep up the fun times and thanks again,
