Overview

In Lazarus Rising Games' modern revival of OverPower, players assemble a team of four characters, each with unique power levels in Energy, Combat, Brute Force, and Intelligence (rated from 1 to 8). Teams are built within a point limit based on each character’s Threat value, and some characters have special abilities. The game unfolds in rounds where players draw eight cards, encounter Events that alter the battle’s dynamics, and place cards strategically on their characters to prepare for future battles. Players alternate attacking and defending, aiming to knock out opposing characters by dealing 20 damage or landing hits in three of the four power types. The round's winner is determined by the total value of successful attacks. A unique "Venture" system lets players wager Mission cards before each battle, betting on victory to win additional cards. Victory is achieved by either knocking out all opponents or advancing all seven Mission cards.
