So I got a bunch of the DC Deckbuilding Game recently and it is pretty fun. So far the 2 games I played were completely different in terms of strategy/cards so thats cool.

Yo I'm real good at the DC Deckbuidling game
Also the "man of steel" card in that game is OP as hell.

I've heard of it and seen it played but not had the chance to play myself.

Now I’m at the point after 6 play throughs that it’s making my brain hurt, and needed a break from it lol.

There’s just so much to keep track of. It’s like chess with luck, lots of analysis paralysis making the game drag for 2 hours. Still a great game, just not in succession. And another negative I suppose is the win condition- it just feels so anticlimactic. We build up to a point, and we build up to another point and then before we really let forth wrath, it’s over and we collectively go “oh, was that it?” It’s about the journey, not the destination though, right?

The DC game is a bit like that. I try to combat the "paralysis" when i play but just going off the first few cards that I manage to pick up and building a strategy around that. The last time I played and won, my early game was picking up cards that let me draw more cards and kept my discard pile llight, then the big beefy mondo card hit the market, I picked that up, and shifted gears to buying as many superpowers as I could. (Man of Steel, the card, allows you to take all the Super Power cards from your discard and add them to your hand. So like 3 turns after I picked it up and had all these super power cards, I was dropping 30-40 points a turn where my opponent would be lucky to get 20 points. I could buy the whole market, defeat the boss, and have 25 points left over at the end of my turn.)

To add: The endgame in the DC game and I imagine any Deck Builder can be a bit... "Oh yeah I guess it's done now." but like you said, getting there is most of the fun. Those moments of "Aha! A strategy reveals itself!" and then the game quickly turns from a marathon to a sprint.

Oops I guess I shoulda put that dumb post about me spending all day today making props for my DnD group in this thread. I'll put pictures here when I get the chance if I remember to.

Turns out sealing stuff with wax stamps is tricky. This is probably one of the better efforts here. 20+ envelopes gave me a lot of practice.
