Power Rangers: Deck-Building Game (2021)

About this game

It's Morphin' Time! Or is it time to conquer the world instead? Power Rangers: Deck-Building Game is a competitive deck-building game that pits 1-2 heroes against 1-2 villains. In this asymmetrical game, the hero and villain sides play a bit differently, but in the end, they both have the same goal: Crush your enemies! During your turn, you play cards to generate shards and energy. You use shards to buy cards or battle adversaries and gain rewards. You can attack the opposing team using attack cards, and when you are attacked, you can defend with block cards. At the end of your turn, you perform any "end of turn" actions, discard cards played that turn, take one damage for each adversary in "The Grid", then refill your hand to five cards. The first side to reduce their opponent's hit points to 0 wins.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 2.9/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 14 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
