Setup

Set up the game with the 'Fragmented Realities' scheme, Madelyne Pryor as the mastermind, Limbo and Earth-1610 Manhatten as villain groups, and Lady Thor, Captain Marvel, and Apocalyptic Kitty Pryde as heroes.

The rules, step by step

Setup
To set up the game, use the 'Fragmented Realities' scheme, which requires an additional villain group. The mastermind is Madelyne Pryor, Goblin Queen, with Limbo as her associated villain group. The second villain group is Earth-1610 Manhatten. The heroes for this game are Lady Thor, Captain Marvel, and Apocalyptic Kitty Pryde. Shuffle the villain deck, then divide it as equally as possible among the players. Add two scheme twists to each player's villain deck. Since the city does not exist in this scenario, each player has a different dimension, and villains and bystanders from their villain deck enter their dimension. Players can fight villains in any other player's dimension.
Objective
The objective is to defeat the mastermind, Madelyne Pryor, Goblin Queen, and her villain groups. You lose the game if the number of non-grey heroes in the KO pile is five times the number of players, or if the scheme's twists are triggered.
On your turn
During your turn, you will play hero cards from your hand to generate recruit points and attack points. Recruit new heroes from the HQ to strengthen your deck, and use attack points to fight villains in the city or the mastermind. Rescuing bystanders is also crucial, as they can be captured and transformed by the mastermind.
Scoring
Points are scored by defeating villains and the mastermind, and by rescuing bystanders. Each defeated villain and rescued bystander contributes to your final score, with the mastermind providing a significant bonus.
Game end
The game ends immediately if the hero KO pile contains five times the number of players in non-grey heroes. Additionally, if a scheme twist is drawn, two cards are played from the villain deck. If Madelyne Pryor captures four bystanders, and she already has any bystanders (now Demon Goblins), each player gains a Wound. If the scheme's twists are triggered, the players lose the game.
Tips
Madelyne Pryor transforms captured bystanders into Demon Goblin Villains with 2 attack, and you cannot fight her if she has any Demon Goblins. Therefore, prioritizing rescuing bystanders is key to weakening her and making her vulnerable. Also, be mindful of the Master Strike, as it can quickly escalate the number of Demon Goblins and inflict Wounds on players.
