After reading the first issue of Avengers I thought I’d try and recreate the matchup here. This scheme seemed closest to the story. A bunch of S.H.I.E.L.D. Officers are added to the villain deck. If five of them escape, you lose. They only have three hit points but each twist that comes out adds one. Had a few twists come out early, and a bunch of regular villains escaped, but I seemed to be doing okay. Then suddenly I had four officers out, and the last twist turned which means those officers escape and I lost. A better/different shuffle and I think I would have beaten it. That’s my biggest gripe with this game, trying to get a good, random shuffle of the cards. Often wish there was a computer version. Would make setup and cleanup a heck of a lot easier.
