This mysterious installation, code named “the Facility,” uses unknown energies to morph and transform itself at will to keep horrid villains, dangerous creatures, alien entities, and top-secret research projects trapped within. Rumors of the Facility’s existence and its most prized possessions have leaked, and the Valiant Universe’s most powerful organizations—The Harbinger Foundation, the Renegades, GATE, and more—are taking an interest. The world may never be the same.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Valiant Universe: The Deck-Building Game you command an organization attempting to seize the secret Alcatraz base. Purchase cards to craft a unique deck, and battle your way through the ever-changing Facility grid that moves during play to gain access to a card or damage another player. Maneuver your superhero miniatures to battle it out with other superheroes for ultimate control!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom the rules:\u003cbr\u003e\"Each player assumes the role of an\u003cbr\u003eOrganization within the Valiant Universe,\u003cbr\u003eattempting to infiltrate the Facility and gain\u003cbr\u003econtrol while fighting off any other Organizations\u003cbr\u003ealong the way.\u003cbr\u003eThe Facility is abstractly represented by a grid\u003cbr\u003eof cards: 5 Levels (rows) x 5 Blocks (columns), for\u003cbr\u003e25 decks of cards. Each deck on this grid is known\u003cbr\u003eas a Sector.\u003cbr\u003eTo gain ultimate control of the Facility, each\u003cbr\u003eplayer will play cards from their hands to deal\u003cbr\u003edamage to other Organizations and manipulate\u003cbr\u003ethe cards in the grid—which represents the Facility\u003cbr\u003emorphing and changing. Players will also have the\u003cbr\u003eopportunity to purchase cards from their Zone of\u003cbr\u003eInfluence (ZOI) on the Facility. Additionally, players\u003cbr\u003ecan move their Superhero miniature around the\u003cbr\u003eFacility’s Sectors to deal additional damage to\u003cbr\u003eOpponents, while making use of their Abilities on\u003cbr\u003etheir Power card.\u003cbr\u003eAlong the way, the Facility may also strike\u003cbr\u003eback at the players.
