A simple set collection with four minigames to build your collection. One is a basic draft. Another is a straightforward auction. The third is a press your luck element, but the highlight of the game is the fourth, which is a ‘walking the convention floor’ where you’ll slide one card inside of a 5×5 grid and then take all cards that match symbols in a horizontal or vertical line. Afterwards, players will build collections, trying to target more lucrative heroes and certain symbols (such as ‘first appearance’ and ‘epic fights’).

This game was the first major game for Robert Coelho, where it was a major hit in his home country of Brazil. This year, finally this Marvel-licensed game managed to become widely available in American markets.
