## Key points

- A refreshed edition keeps the original cooperative deck-building formula.
- New players get a substantial Marvel game and a neoprene mat.
- At $100, the upgrade may be harder to justify for existing owners.

## Summary

Upper Deck’s second edition of Marvel Legendary refreshes its cooperative deck-building game with updated artwork, card balance changes and mechanics from later expansions. It offers a polished entry point for new players while keeping the familiar gameplay that has made the series popular.

The box includes 15 heroes, a neoprene play mat and support for one to five players aged 14 and up; games typically last 30 to 60 minutes. Existing expansions remain compatible, but at a recommended price of $100, the reviewer says the value is less clear for owners of the original, given the overlap in content and the mainly incremental updates.
