Read the full game description

Invincible: The Hero-Building Game is a cooperative bag- and tableau-building campaign set during the first season of the animated superhero story. Players become Invincible, Atom Eve, Rex Splode, or Robot and face seven replayable episodes with different villains, events, and victory conditions. Colored cubes drawn from a personal bag fuel power cards. Pulling farther can produce spectacular combinations, but too much strain causes a crash and ends that hero’s contribution to the round. The free-form hero phase lets the team act in any order, interrupt one another, and combine damage or rescue efforts wherever the board is most threatened. Training adds new powers between clashes, gradually shaping each hero into a specialized engine. Civilians, villain arrivals, episode twists, and escalating enemy phases force the group to balance offense with protection. The opening episode teaches a streamlined ruleset, while later scenarios add the full system. Solo play controls two heroes; larger teams gain richer coordination.
