It introduces 5 new heroes and 2 new masterminds together with their accompany villain groups, along with 4 new schemes. Synopsis: Legendary: Paint the Town Red is an expansion for the Legendary deckbuilding game. My thanks to my partner, Tobie, for getting this for us as an early birthday present. And if anything, it also demonstrates how the game developers learned from the first game and managed to come up with some rather interesting card mechanics to really make things interesting. This small box expansion may not seem like much at first, but it definitely shows a lot of heart and we're all the better for it existing at all.
And while this may seem like a rather narrow focus for an entire card expansion, you have to really appreciate just how much was accomplished with this character and the many, many villains he has faced over the years. Legendary: Paint the Town Red is an expansion that is all about one of the favorite characters - everyone's favorite wall crawler, Spider-Man. As much as we've all enjoyed fighting Aliens in Encounters, it's really time to take to the streets with the Marvel superheroes. And their dedication to bringing popular franchises to life is what really brings the whole thing home. What can I say - the core system is pretty brilliant and it's definitely one of the better deckbuilding games around. That is the fun of these expansions, is that their price is not outlandish, and that they therefore help to build the game easily and inexpensively, even if the individual expansion offers little else new, the sum ends up being greater the parts.So Legendary has become sort of the flavor of the month in terms of card games here at the Sietch. While heavy hitters like the Fantastic Four might have no trouble in a street level scenario, at least in this way one can face Black Cat against Galactus and see what happens. At the very least the base game is required to play Paint the Town Red, but by incorporating in the other expansions the imbalance between the two character types is less evident. skies” divide in this game might almost be moot anyway. This is an expansion on the same scale as the Fantastic Four expansion, incorporating in fewer cards while also adding to the refinement of the game play experience.Īt this point the “street vs. draw pile and the bystanders are once again left untouched. As with the Fantastic Four expansion, this does little to expand any of the more disappointing mechanics of the game, as the S.H.I.E.L.D. The schemes are equally related, focusing on Carnage and Mysterio and various spider-related problems, although one does strive for a bit more by trying to take on the Clone Saga.
Instead this sticks close to the Spider-Man story lines with Black Cat, Moon Knight, Scarlet Spider, Symbiote Spider-Man and Spider-Woman. The focus here is all Spider-Man, meaning that anyone expecting more variety will be disappointed. As opposed to the grand schemes of certain villains, this expansion plays out a lot more like a Spider-Man comic, fun at times but never in any real danger that the characters (or in this case the players) are in much danger. The Dark City expansion helped a bit to counter this trend of the street level scenarios being that much easier to play, but this expansion goes much closer to the original trend.

As an overall analysis of this game series reveals, it is the street level characters that are the bigger push in terms of popularity, but it is also these characters, their villains and these villains’ schemes which make for a much easier game play experience. Although the second expansion came right out and declared itself the Fantastic Four expansion, this is definitely the Spider-Man expansion even though it doesn’t really identify itself as such except for the box art. The “Paint the Town Red” expansion for Legendary is the third expansion in the series, and the second in a row with a stronger thematic concept.
