Game Setup

Player Decks

Give each player their own personal 12-

card deck, made of these cards:

• 8S.H.I.E.L.D.Agents

• 4S.H.I.E.L.D.Troopers

Game Stacks

Put these stacks of cards faceup on their

spaces on the board. Use all the cards of

each type:

• 30S.H.I.E.L.D.Ofcers

• 30Wounds

• 30Bystanders

Mastermind and Scheme

• Pick1 Mastermind at random. Put the

Mastermind card faceup on the

Mastermind space on the board. Take

the 4MastermindTactics cards that

match the Mastermind you selected. Put

them underneath the Mastermind card,

facedown in random order.

• Pick1 Scheme card at random. Put it

faceup on the Scheme space on the board.

Each Scheme card has a “Setup” section.

Follow the setup instructions for that

Scheme now. A Scheme card’s “Setup”

section always tells you how many

“SchemeTwist” cards to put into the

Villain Deck. Put that many Scheme Twist

cards onto the Villain Deck space to start

the Villain Deck. Many Schemes also have

unique special rules.

ToAddHenchmanGroups:

• PickthatmanyHenchmenGroupsat

random. Henchmen are weaker Villains

where each group has 10 identical cards.

Add those cards to the Villain Deck.

ToAddBystanders:

• Checkthetabletothelefttoseehow

many Bystander cards to add to the

Villain Deck from the Bystander stack.

Leave the rest in the Bystander stack.

Villain Deck

•

Add 5 Master Strike cards to the Villain Deck.

• NowaddVillainGroupstotheVillain

Deck. A Villain Group is a group of

eight Villain cards that work together,

like “HYDRA” or “Skrulls.” Each Villain

card lists its Villain Group under its card

name. The more players you have in the

game, the more Villain Groups you use,

as shown in this table:

Number of

Players

Villain

Groups

Henchmen

Groups

Bystanders

2 2 1 2

3 3 1 8

4 3 2 8

5 4 2 12

(For 1-player solo play, check the end of the rulebook.)

ToAddVillainGroups:

• EachMastermindcardsaysthatthe

Mastermind “AlwaysLeads” a particular

Villain Group or Henchman Group. Be

sure to include that group as one of the

groups you add to the Villain Deck.

• PicktheotherVillainGroupsatrandom.

• ForeachVillainGroupyoupick,addall8

Villain cards from that Villain Group to

the deck.
