   Hidden under a very simple set of mechanics (See the very well-written rulebook!) is a strategic gem with strong bluffing and risk mitigation elements, that feels, if you're playing one of the cooperating heroes, a lot like playing Pandemic, if the Virus knew how you were going to try to stop it and fought back. As one of the playtester/developers of the game, I can tell you that I had fun playing any of the Heroes, especially as they started to level up and I could pick new powers for them based on what the team might be needing. That said, I REALLY enjoyed playing Darkseid, keeping the Heroes guessing and hitting them where it hurts. Warning: You may be residually sinister for a half hour or so after playing him. :-)

   One of my favorite, feels like a combination of Scotland Yard (from Darkseid's POV) and Pandemic (from Heroes POV.) Vastly underrated in my opinion. Clever bluffing by Darkseid, playing the right power up card by hero, devastating actions. Perhaps doesn't scale the best, two heroes vs four heroes seems like a great drop in difficulty.

   Better than I expected. Could get a bit samey with repeated plays but it captures its theme rather well.
