You can download and read an early draft of the rulebook. Heroes win if they manage to defeat the villain, but lose if the villain is able to complete their Master Plan. Once the heroes have succeeded at two of the three missions for the game, the villain then becomes vulnerable to direct attack. Gameplay starts with a villain turn, whose actions are determined based upon the cards for their “Master Plan.” Following the villain turn, each hero will take their turns, where they will draw and play cards, move around to different locations, fight thugs, and rescue civilians. The campaign reached its funding goal in just 31 minutes and is currently at roughly $700,000 with 9.6K backers. There is only a single $60 pledge level, with optional expansions available to add to your pledge. At the time of this writing, there are about three weeks left in the campaign.
