September 14, 2017: DC Deck-Building Game Multiverse Box

Cryptozoic and Warner Bros. Consumer Products Announce Release of DC Deck-Building Game Multiverse Box

Storage Box Holds All the Different Sets for Popular DC Deck-Building Game and Includes New Multiverse Crossover Pack

Cryptozoic Entertainment, leading creator of board games, trading cards, and collectibles, and Warner Bros. Consumer Products, on behalf of DC Entertainment, today announced the release of the DC Deck-Building Game Multiverse Box. The storage box holds all the different sets that have been released for the popular DC Deck-Building Game, utilizing set dividers and foam inserts to keep all the cards organized, and has extra room for expansions to come. It comes exclusively with the Multiverse Crossover Pack, which draws from the "Convergence" comic book storyline and offers an experience that takes advantage of a DC Deck-Building Game fan's entire box of cards.

"We wanted to give players a new, competitive game format that takes advantage of all your neatly-organized cards," said Matt Hyra, Lead Game Designer at Cryptozoic. "Players always talk about mixing all of their cards together. With the Multiverse format, you get to do that ... a little bit at a time."

In the Multiverse Crossover Pack included with DC Deck-Building Game Multiverse Box, players battle to get past their rivals' Champions. Each player receives an oversized Multiverse Location card (from the pack), an oversized DC Super Hero/Super-Villain card (from the collection of DC Deck-Building Game cards players have placed in their box) and three DC Super Hero/Super-Villain cards (from the collection in their box) that are his or her Champions. To set up the game, players select a main deck from any of the four current DC Deck-Building Game base sets, shuffle in the 19 new main deck cards, and lay out the standard five-card Line-Up.

The Multiverse Crossover Pack expands gameplay by adding a second Line-Up of five cards, allowing players to build up their decks more easily than ever before. Built using a card set determined by the Randomizer deck, this new Event Line-Up does not refill like the main deck Line-Up does. Instead, when the last card in the Event Line-Up has been removed, a new Event card is flipped face up, creating a new five-card Line-Up from a different random set. The old Event goes away, and a new Ongoing effect is active while these new five cards are around.

There are three new DC Super-Villains in the Multiverse pack: Brainiac, Telos, and Deimos. A player can end the game by being the last man standing (he or she wins!) or by defeating Deimos (highest Victory Point total wins). Note that there is no player elimination in this game.

The DC Deck-Building Game Multiverse Box is available now through Amazon.com.
