VS System 2PCG

VS System 2PCG is a redesign of the original VS System.

In 2PCG, each player starts with a main character in play such as Spider-Man or Green Goblin. During the game you’ll play resources and recruit supporting characters, like Medusa, Ant Man, and Rhino. You’ll organize your formation between your front and back rows, and you’ll make solo and team attacks against your enemies in order to stun and KO them. You’ll play Plot Twists to enhance your team or hurt your opponent’s. You’ll use your Locations to activate your team’s Super Powers. Your main character will earn experience points and level up to dominate the battlefield. Finally, you’ll KO your opponent’s Main Character (or they’ll KO yours).

Split Universe
The cards in VS 2PCG are split into two separate "universes". Cards with illustrated comic book artwork are part of the Illustrated Universe. Cards where screencaps and photographs are used in place of artwork are part of the "Photographic Universe." When building decks, they much contain collections of exactly 60 cards from a single one of the universes with no crossover, but an illustrated deck and a photographic deck can still play against each other normally.

This game is designed by Ben Cichoski and Daniel Mandel. It is published by Upper Deck Entertainment since 2015.

2018 is the beginning of the "arcs" and "issues" release pattern where monthly sets of 55 cards (issues) became the new norm, adhering every three releases to a similar theme (arc).
