Upper Deck Offer First Glimpse At Legendary Expansion
February 22, 2013 by brennon
If you were a fan of Upper Deck's Marvel: Legendary card game then you will be pleased to know an expansion is on the cards. Check out the first pieces of artwork from Dark City below...
This new set will contain 350 new cards including seventeen new heroes, six new groups of villains, two new henchmen groups and five new masterminds which include the mighty Apocalypse and Kingpin.
The expansion will hit on the 25th of June so mark this date in your Marvel calender!
What do you think of the artwork and prospect of more heroes?
Let me know below!
Someone please explain to me the appeal of random booster games. Why buy something when you don’t know what’s in the box/booster before opening it? Is it the same rush as gambling only with lamer prizes (not cash) for the few who win? I don’t get why gamers don’t just kind of demand that all of these types of games go to the LCG format where you always know what’s in the box. There’s no game-mechanics reason for it. Any kind of balance that is achieved by randomness could just as easily (actually more easily) be achieved through better deck… Read more »
LCG beats CCG hands down.

I totally agree mpopke. I got into Magic and bought a shed load of blister boxes (lots of money to burn at the time). Bearing in mind that I did not know what I was doing, I beat most people because the amount of cards I had. Nothing more than that, as I wasn’t a really talented player and lost all the time when playing with even decks (switching around decks etc). I actually felt a bit sorry for a few of them. This one lad aged about 18 looked like he was homeless, but he had HUGE amounts of… Read more »
I like the art work on these cards, really bold and eye catching. I took a look at the Living Card Games on a few sites and saw Android Netrunner, I recall you liked that one mpopke? Am I correct in saying so? What do you like about it? Really trying hard to get my mates in to “SOME” sort of gaming. We have been mates since senior school when we were still called 1st years (and everyone used to threaten to flush your head down the toilet, hehe. Kids are cruel. 😛 ) so thats nearly 26 years. We… Read more »
I like Netrunner for the mechanics. Every one of these games has to strike a balance between luck and tactics. The luck of the draw always factors in any card game, but some games offer players more opportunities to mitigate bad luck. Netrunner does a good job of giving an unlucky player some options (at least options to stall until they get some better cards). It started life as a typical TCG, and I loved the mechanic of the game at the time, but I just couldn’t keep up with my opponents who all apparently had more disposable income than… Read more »
Thanks buddy, Might look into it. I shouldn’t be a big problem with lots of expansions as we will be a closed off social group who could have fun with just the core game and then progress when we are ready. I don’t perceive any of us playing in a competition, hehe. I’ve played before in a comp in the RAF but that was RPG based. Didn’t want to play table top comp as everything is just over micro managed. Games at any level should always remain fun first and foremost and then a real ale drinking contest a close… Read more »
If you want to play with a group of people (not just two), Netrunner may not be your best choice. I think it’s an awesome game, but it is very decidedly a two-player game. The Lord of the Rings LCG is better suited to games of up to four players, but you have to go digging around on BoardGameGeek to find house rules that make games of that size more fun (the default rules for 4-player games make the game far too easy). The nice thing about LoTR is that a lot of the player base spends time working on… Read more »
Ahh, you may be onto something there, but I think it’s just plain scared of games. they tend to sit in front of Sky a lot and anything else is just plain babyish. :S
I was planning on getting a 1+ player board game and playing it myself when they come around for a brew. Then every time I roll a 6, I can scream like a little girl and act all excited. This way they can see that it is fun. 😛
