Archenemy
Multiplayer Variant
Archenemy pits one powerful player (the Archenemy) against a team of opponents. The Archenemy uses a scheme deck of oversized cards that provide powerful advantages, while the opposing team works together to take them down.
Archenemy was released in 2010, offering a unique asymmetric multiplayer experience where one player takes on the villain role.
