Game and Watch Forever:
Got the Legendary: A Marvel Deckbuilding game recently. I love it a lot more than I thought I would. The game is both cooperative (you have a big bad you and a scheme you need to work together to stop) and competitive (you get points and, assuming heroes win, they're used to determine the individual winner). So there's a fun balance between trying to be a glory hog and setting differences aside for the greater good. It's also got a solo mode, which I appreciate. Difficulty ranges from super easy to pretty damn hard, depending on the setup for the game -- some combinations are way harder than others.
The villain schemes are all really interesting and change up different parts of the game, including the loss conditions for the heroes. You lose to the legacy virus if the team takes too many wounds. You lose to the Super Hero Civil War if the hero deck runs out. You lose to the Skrull Invasion if too many shapeshifting skrulls escape the city disguised as heroes.
Overall theme and strategy are there, making for a good time. My favorite game so far was fighting Loki, who was trying to release the legacy virus... for some reason... My head canon says it's some really twisted scheme that's complicated and requires the elimination of a bunch of mutants. What made it crazy was how many different enemies continued to wound us. We needed so many different things to prevent those wound that my partner and I had to throw the individual scoring out the window and work to try to get our decks as anti-wound as possible. But it wasn't enough and Loki won. It was brutal, but so awesome to see that the challenge was there (the first game setup is really easy and the solo game I played before that was super easy thanks to Black Widow being in my party).
Also... I meant to just post I got a cool game... not give a poorly written mini-review... oh well! :roll:

And printing them out would take a metric shitton of ink and paper, which would probably be even more expensive. For now I messaged the seller and asked him if we can cancel the transaction, offering to pay for his ebay fees. We'll see what he responds.

Where do you live. I have a set of the 3.5 core books that I would mail to you if you could pay the shipping (not sure how reasonable shipping would be though). They are just collecting dust in my basement and I have no use for them.

Marvel Legendary is pretty awesome. Probably my favorite deckbuilder at the moment (and I love deckbuilders). The variety in setup, with the various schemes and villains and heroes and the mostly coop play is a huge plus, and I just love marvel superheroes.
I have the Dark City expansion as well, need to get the Fantastic 4 expansion at some point.

That would be awesome! I live in Germany, last time I ordered something from the US, it was about 25 bucks or so in shipping. Plus customs duty it would probably sum up to about 40, but since that's pretty much the price I'd have to pay for a single one of the books I'll take that deal any day.

So I saw a kickstarter today offering all sorts of storage solutions and bits for several card/board games. Have a look here if you find yourself wishing you have better storage for some stuff (looking at you Dominion :-().
