Originally launched in the 1990s, OverPower was a crossover trading card game that brought together characters from Marvel, DC, and Image Comics under one trading card game system. Modern OverPower keeps that same core identity while expanding beyond traditional superhero-only lineups, using characters from a wide range of licenses, mythologies, literary works, and fictional settings. In that sense, OverPower is less about a single universe and more about a shared game engine that allows very different properties to coexist in one format.
In actual play, OverPower is a two-player team battler rather than a simple character-collecting game. Players build teams of characters to battle it out or try to complete their unique Mission. The game is won through a mix of combat, mission progress, as some bluffing and gamesmanship. OverPower is a game that rewards cretivity, innovative design, and tactical in game decision-making that rewards play and reduces variance.
