Transform and roll out!
The Autobots are brave robot warriors hailing from the planet Cybertron. Their mission? To stop the Decepticons from enacting their evil schemes on Earth.
In Transformers Deck-Building Game, you take on the role of one of the mighty Autobots. Travel and explore the Matrix and transform between your different modes as you gain allies, find relics, and acquire technology to do battle with the Decepticons. But be warned! As your deck grows, more powerful Decepticons will rise up to challenge you.
Transformers Deck-Building Game can be played competitively or as a co-operative experience. This core set will begin your collection with everything needed to play, but the battle is far from over as playable Decepticons are on the way to expand your game.

Picked up a used copy for $7.50, and glad I didn't pay more. I'm making these comments after three failed attempts to start the game. It was unable to hold my interest even after the lengthy setup. This core set feels incomplete which might explain the number of expansions that quickly followed. It didn't feel all that thematic, especially when compared to the G.I. Joe Deck Building Game. Too much setup, confusing matrix element, and a rulebook that overexplains what feels like a really basic game. Expansions could possibly make me feel better about this except for having to spend another $30 - $40 just to own "the rest of the game". No current plans to buy expansions and not sure how long this will stay in our collection. No one in the play group is showing much interest at all. The Transformers theme, and the box art in particular, seems to be what turned them off because they immediately got the impression that it is a game for little kids. The G.I. Joe game, by comparison, was able to shake that "game based on a toy line" stigma very quickly for us. Since I haven't had a full playthrough of this game yet I've bumped my rating up from a 4 to a 6. Sold 7/29/23.

The gameplay itself is fine and captures the theme well. The different number of game modes adds replayability. I just wish it was ANY little bit easier to integrate expansion material into the game.
