About Overpower

This defunct CCG is primarily based on characters from Marvel comics, with DC and Image comics represented in later expansions. Each player has a team of 4 characters, each rated in 3 or 4 skill types. At the beginning of each hand, each player makes a wager of some of their 7 mission cards based on how confident they are that they can "win" the hand by causing the most damage.
