Supers

Supers is a super hero board game for 2 to 6 players, aged 11 and up. Every player creates his or her own super hero: after determining the hero's origin each player takes their starting super power determined by that origin (examples: "Technology" heroes always start with the super power "Armor", and "Atomic" heroes always have "Super Strength") and get aditional super powers to fill up their starting quota of powers. The goal of the game is to become the one super hero who is famous and powerful enough to scare all villains into hiding. To reach that goal, the heroes deal with a variety of crises like burning buildings, derailing trains and cats on tress. More often than not one of the 25 super villains featured in the game appears somewhere in the city to wreak havoc, and will destroy the city if left alone. The heroes have got to decide which crises to deal with first, and whether to team up to fight the villains or not, as some villains may be too much to handle for a single hero, and the villains may form teams of their own. Once the heroes beat a villain or solve an event, they'll earn experience and fame. The fame is needed to win the game, while the experience may be traded for even more super powers, slowly building the hero to be more formidable. While the game has some cooperative options, in the end only one hero will be the winner!
