We played Legendary last weekend starting Michael Green's Adventure Campaign, a sort of Choose-Your-Own Adventure game that lets your victory or defeat dictate how it flows.

We started off by choosing 12 heroes to build our roster. We wanted to include some of our favorites, but have a diverse group and not just use the same heroes we always do. Getting input from the wife and kids, the five for the first mission were:

  • Captain Britain
  • Cloak and Dagger
  • Cable
  • Black Widow
  • Iceman
Rounding out the roster:
  • Dr. Strange
  • Thing
  • Scarlet Spider
  • Spiderwoman
  • Rocket and Groot (mixed the two)
  • Thor
  • Winter Soldier
We made our way to scenic Latveria, where we crashed a sort of Super Villain convention! Red Skull, Loki, and Magneto were in attendance, and when we emerged victorious, they scattered to the four winds.

From a game perspective, I KO'd several of my agents early, and bought the top Cp Britain right away. Since he gives you three extra cards, I was playing through most of my deck every turn, getting massive combos. Wife defeated both Abominations late in the city, racking up Bystanders and filling her deck with Black Widow. Between the two of us, we took down Doom fairly easily.

Following the Campaign, we decided to track down Loki. Oddly, he didn't give much chase, allowing us to imprison him on the Helicarrier. With the Hulk aboard. I wonder where this is going . . .

Our heroes tried to mop up the HYDRA agents who infiltrated the helicarrier while subduing the Hulk. Meanwhile, in the city below, the streets take advantage of the chaos to strike out and hold the city hostage. Tonight's roster: Scarlet Spider Thing Cable Dr. Strange Rocket and Groot They battled Wasteland Hulk with X-cutioner's Song scheme, with Iron Man as the captured hero the Hulk was roughing up. We got strung up with a slew of captives in the beginning, which stopped us from clearing the city. A couple of twists, and we were on the ropes with 8 heroes KO'd out of 9 for defeat. My son went for Scarlet Spider and Groot, working on drawing cards to cycle through his deck. He sacrificed recruiting to Bribe some villains and kept them from escaping on a couple occasions. My wife recruited her favorite hero, Dr. Strange, and even picked up the Sorcerer Supreme card, ready to beef up her hand and kick some green butt. I went with Cable mostly, and ...

Loki attempted to sink the Helicarrier tonight, with all your valiant heroes aboard, in stage 2 of the Legendary campaign. Our roster tonight included: Thing Winter Soldier Iceman Thor Captain Britain And, special bonus guest Hulk Wielding an abundance of Punch, we challenged Loki, who brought Asgardian villains, and the Ultimate Avengers, Skrulls and Cape Killers to represent in-fighting caused by the Trickster and turned SHIELD agents. Wife picked up a Thor/Iceman ranged combo, which dealt some serious damage. William turned to Thing, who focused his Recruit into major damage, and paired him with mostly Cap Britain to devastating effect. I tried to pull off a Hulk/Winter soldier Punch combo, but got bogged down with Shield dudes at inopportune times. Loki's 10 damage to defeat meant he stayed alive until the big combos rained down, and he fell in no time. Unfortunately, it was Admiral Ackbar's time. Loki was really trying to get the Hulk to in...
