Meteors composed of strange, exotic matter have devastated the planet. From the ashes, a few survivors have emerged with amazing, and sometimes terrifying, abilities! Some have come to defend the weak while others are set on conquering all they see. The battle for the future of humanity has begun.

Heroes & Villains is a superhero/villain-themed deck battle game for 2 to 6 players. Players use either preconstructed or their own customer battle deck of ability cards. The battle deck is both your strength and your life. Deplete all of the cards in your opponent's battle deck before exhausting your own and win the battle for ultimate supremacy!

To begin play, each player chooses one of the six powers types to play. Each power has a corresponding Destiny Card that gives you the option to play as a Hero or Villain. Your choice empowers you with a unique bonus skill that can be used once per game) to give you a unique advantage in battle. Players can either use the pre-separated/pre-shuffled Power Deck for their character or assemble their own customize deck containing a unique blend of attacks and defense.

At the beginning of your turn, draw a card (max 5), and use your 4 Energy Points to Deploy Power Cards onto the BattleField, or to Active the Power of an already deployed card. Use a balance of Tactics, Minions, Weapons, and Assaults to deplete your opponent’s deck and to restore your own.

Be the last man standing to be declared the winner, and the Ultimate Comic Book Hero/or Villain.
