Anyone had a chance to play this game?

I was able to play it last night with my local game group and I've become obsessed with it. Cooperative games are always so much more fun for me because I'm not good at competitive gaming. This one is a heck of a lot of fun.

Basically you assemble a big deck of cards, and everyone buys from it. It's sort of a drafting/deck building game. The cards are then pitted against various villeins, henchmen and the mastermind, chosen by the group. The mastermind has a master plan, and so the players battle the games limited AI for victory. It's super hard, we tried four times to beat Apocalypse last night and never could do it!

I own the Alien and Predator one (which can be combined to do a AvP). Legendary is a fun game as far as co op deck building goes.

It's a good game.
The original Marvel version has some weird mechanics, like the scoring system. It's a hard coop game, where if you don't all work together you're screwed. Yet they decided to put in a scoring system where at the end the player who earned the most points wins. I find it's usually best to just ignore this.

They did away with it in later iterations of the game, like the Alien/Predator ones (well, they sort of brought it back in the Predator version as an alternate play mode, where you are playing as the predators and competing with each other for points).

One fun aspect is that all the versions of the game are compatible with each other to some extent. If you want to run buffy the vampire slayer vs thanos, or james bond vs alien, then you can make that happen. They usually come with rules explaining how to approximate any missing information.
