About the game
Super Deck! is a card game, in which players select a heroic and a villainous champion, and send the two to fight against their opponent's respective villain and hero. Players first built up their deck (a minimum of 40 cards) and begin play with a 7-card hand. They place their selected hero on their left to begin their Hero stack and start their Villain stack on their right. The hero/villain cards have a base number on the top left, and each turn, players play one card (and replenish their hand) to modify the values of their or their opponent's stacks by multiplication, addition, or subtraction. Certain cards give effects that negate certain cards or discard an opponent's cards. When the values of a player's hero and villain stack are both 10 points greater than their opposing stacks, he or she calls out "Last chance!" The game ends in victory for the player at this point if the opponent is unable to reduce the deficit by playing a card.

The listed playing time for Super Deck! is 20 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

The catalogue lists Super Deck! for ages 12 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone.
