Today’s article is brought to you by co-founders of Super Awesome Games and co-designers of Vs. System® 2PCG®, Ben Cichoski and Danny Mandel.

Welcome back VS. System® 2PCG® readers! Today we have our second preview cards for the first Issue in the new Assemble Arc (based on the Infinity Stones): Power & Reality. This Issue features heroes and villains from our very own home planet. Let’s take a trip to the home country of the Avengers!

First up we have that noblest of birds – the Hawk!

OK, what the heck is a Nest? Well…when you spend a power symbol from a Location in your resource row to put Hawkeye into a Nest, you put the Location card partly underneath him and leave it face up as the Nest. (Note that if you pay for the power by discarding a Location or you reduce the cost of the power to zero power symbols, nothing happens.)

A few more items:

• While a Location is a Nest, it still counts as a Location and as being a face-up resource in your resource row, however it can’t be used to generate a power symbol any more. (So it does generate a resource point.)
• If the Location gets KO’d or leaves your side, the Nest effect ends.
• If the Location gets turned face down by an effect, put it back into your resource row and the Nest effect ends.
• When Hawkeye gets stunned or leaves your side, turn the Location face down and put it into your resource row.
• If Hawkeye uses I Want You On That Roof while he already has a Nest, turn the old Nest face down and put it into your resource row.

Whew. We did it!

Next up we have Clint’s ‘boss’…

Spoiler Alert! Oops, too late! There’s gonna be a Goose and a Captain Marvel character in a future Issue in the Arc. Probably not surprising.

Remember that when a Soldier appears, put -1/-1 counters equal to the number of Soldiers on your side onto an enemy Supporting Character. Play lots of people with Fury!

Spoiler Alert 2! There’s gonna be a Captain Marvel character…oh, right.

You may recall that when an Agent appears, you look at cards from the top of your deck equal to the number of Agents on your side. Put any of those cards on the bottom of your deck and the rest back in any order. Continue to have lots of people in your Fury deck!

They say behind each spymaster stand a bunch of spies. Here’s one now!

 Stealth means she can melee attack back row characters even while they’re protected. Powerful!

You know the old saying – spies plus armored suits make the world go round!

There he is, ironically, in all his Hulkbuster glory!

Please note I Think I’m Getting The Hang of It! counts each time it was used this game by each specific card while it’s in play. If that card leaves play and comes back or later you have another copy of the card on your side, I Think I’m Getting The Hang of It! Will start over.

But Bruce isn’t using the only Stark-designed suit out there. There are lots! But they require focus and fidielity.

Well, there you have it! Join us next week as we head across the pond to Europe!
