DC Deck-Building: RIVALS - Batman vs Joker

Both players start with an identical starting deck and take turns buying more powerful cards from the shared Line-Up. Attack power allows you to attack your opponent directly instead of hitting cards from the Line-Up; Block cards protect you from that. Each player has three oversized character cards that get stronger each time they are defeated — the first one to "knock out" their opponent three times wins immediately. If the Line-Up runs out, the player with the most Victory Points wins. The set is fully combinable with other DC Deck-Building Game products.

DC Deck-Building Game: Rivals – Batman vs The Joker is a tight two-player battle that complements the deck-building genre with direct attacks, making the game feel significantly more interactive than most deck-builders. The escalating character card mechanic — each time you are defeated, you come back stronger — gives the game a dramatic arc that fits the theme well. Fans of the DC series and the Cerberus engine will immediately recognize what they love here; DC newcomers will find an accessible entry point to the series in this compact package. For pure two-player combat, it's a strong, fast choice.
