To set up the game, players choose a number of hero decks – Spider-Man, Hulk, Cyclops, Wolverine, etc. – and shuffle them together; since players use only a handful of hero decks out of the fifteen included, the hero deck can vary widely in terms of what's available. Players then choose a mastermind villain (Magneto, Loki, Dr. Doom, etc.), stack that particular villain's attack cards underneath it, then modify the villain deck as needed based on that villain's particular scheme. 2:30-3:30 PM: Cosplay Parade Location: Downtown Waterville Come show off your cosplays before the masquerade! 3-4 PM: Zen Garden (tabletop game) Location: Spell Bound Zen Garden is an artful struggle and two games in one.
