Definitely some excellent advice, Jay! I guess I just made it extra difficult for myself. I’ve been going back in over the course of the last few days. Play time is very quick! But maybe that’s why I’m losing so often. Ha ha! I nearly made it with a single play when Rhino was down to 3 health. I’ll get there soon enough!

I’m interested to see how things play out with other combinations, too. I can see the many possibilities, and appreciate how much variety is present. There should be some Marvel movies, TV shows, comics, and/or cartoons in my future so I can get into the theme even more!

Leadership is also good, because you can get allies out easier to help handle things for your hero while you establish your base. I struggle with Protection more because you’re supposed to stay in hero mode, soak up damage, then heal or heal your allies to keep blocking more. Protection prevents threat by staying hero mode so the villain schemes less (Advanced card can still happen).

I thoroughly enjoy this game, and it has probably become my #1 solo game over Terraforming Mars. I think one of the reasons is that I like tableau builders, and this actually has that with rewarding combos and synergies. The theme helps for me as well, since I grew up on Marvel in my teens. I also really enjoy how the theme really manifests in how each hero plays differently from each other and reflect their comic persona. Designers did an excellent job with this.
