DC Deck-Building Teen Titans Rulebook: Key Rules Explained

Quick answer

The official DC Deck-Building Game: Teen Titans rulebook provides the complete rules and setup. This guide walks you through the key steps to start playing.

Step-by-step rules guide

1. Set up the play area: Place the main deck, Super-Villain deck, and Location deck in the center. Each player takes a starting deck of 10 cards (7 Justice cards and 3 Teen Titans cards) and draws a hand of 5 cards. Common mistake: Forgetting to shuffle your starting deck before drawing. Always shuffle thoroughly.
2. Understand card types: Cards include Heroes, Super-Villains, Locations, and Equipment. Heroes and Equipment go into your discard pile after use, while Super-Villains are defeated to gain points. Locations provide ongoing effects. Checkpoint: Read each card's text carefully—some cards have special abilities that trigger when acquired or played.
3. Play your turn: On your turn, you may play cards from your hand to gain Power (used to buy new cards) or Attack (used to defeat Super-Villains). After playing all desired cards, discard your hand and draw 5 new cards. Common mistake: Playing cards in the wrong order can waste Power or Attack. Plan your sequence to maximize efficiency.
4. Defeat Super-Villains: When you have enough Attack, you may defeat a Super-Villain from the lineup. Add it to your discard pile—it counts as a point at game end. Some Super-Villains have ongoing effects that affect all players. Checkpoint: Defeating a Super-Villain removes its ongoing effect for everyone, so prioritize those that hurt your strategy.
5. Score and win: The game ends when the main deck runs out or a player reaches a set number of points (usually 20). Count points from Super-Villains, Equipment, and certain Hero cards. The player with the most points wins. Common mistake: Forgetting to count points from Equipment and Hero cards that have point values. Check every card in your deck.
