I picked up the Metal version of the game because I loved the comic storyline and I didnt own any DC based games. I had not played a deck building game before so it was all new and I found the rules were not clear in a few areas. Either way my friends and I had lots of fun playing the game but had gone through the cards a few times so I decided to get the core set and forever evil to spice things up. Their rules seem a bit more basic than Metal and essentially identical but opposite to each other. I havent had the opportunity to play the core set yet but it looks to have the same basic gameplay but with new abilities on the cards. Looking forward to playing.
I didnt give it 5 stars because as I mentioned I had played a few times with my friends and while we loved it and the game was different each time, after a bit you get a feel for which cards are good, and what combos to go for, and you’ve seen them all before and you want to spice it up. So bad news, the game can get a bit stale, good news is the game is good enough youll want to get a few expansions to keep it fresh.
