About the game

What is Invincible: The Card Game?

Invincible: The Card Game puts you in the role of young superheroes as they struggle to become the new Guardians of the Globe. Working together as a team, each player gets to control an iconic character from the Invincible comic universe as you battle to protect Earth from escalating encounters with the series' many supervillains. Unlike most deck builders, players in Invincible: The Card Game never shuffle their decks, so you fully control your own insanely powerful combos. In each battle, you start with a character-specific deck of cards and a unique special ability, then it's up to you to build up your deck, charge your power, and choose your strategy wisely. Your enemy won't be taking it easy on you, unleashing hordes of minions to take you down, launching attacks to destroy the city around you, and forcing you to adapt to their unique special abilities. How hard could it be? Well, all you have to do is stay alive, protect Earth, and defeat the universe's most powerful villains. The game can be played as a single battle or in a campaign mode of over four fully customizable and expandable battles by adding heroes and villains from many planned expansions. As you progress in the campaign, you'll gain powerful team attacks and combo abilities to strengthen your team — but your enemies won't be resting either! After each fight, the villains grow stronger, forcing players to adapt their strategies continually. The battles will be chaotic, and random turn order means teamwork is crucial to determining your optimal team strategy. Players lose if their health goes to zero OR the Villain meets any specific win conditions as outlined on Villain cards. —description from the publisher
