Marvel Trading Card Game

Marvel Trading Card Game is a video game for the Nintendo DS, PC, and PlayStation Portable. Marvel Trading Card Game is a virtual card game in which the player chooses to be either a superhero or supervillain in single-player mode. It was considered faithful to the physical version, but reviewers commented that it was not accessible to players who weren't already fans of collectible card games. Marvel Trading Card Game is a collectible card game with similarities to other card games, like Magic: The Gathering. The game was designed to portray the VS System rules exactly the same as the physical version, created by baseball card manufacturer Upper Deck Entertainment. Players start each match with a premade deck of cards, from which they draw a number of cards to form a hand. The playing field is made of up individual rows where cards can be placed; there are six rows for each player. Cards are played by spending "resource points" which act as a form of energy. Damage is calculated by adding the difference between an attacking character's attack and the defending character's defense, plus the resource cost of the card.
