Sentinels of the Multiverse: Definitive Edition is a board game published by Greater Than Games and designed by Christopher Badell and Adam Rebottaro. The cooperative superhero game (which you may recognize from Jennifer Weigelโs review) is back and better than ever before!
Eleven years after its initial release, the much beloved game has been revamped into the โDefinitive Editionโ. However, donโt be confused by the name. This is not a comprehensive โBig Boxโ with all the released characters, this is something even more excitingโa second edition! This box delivers the expected action-packed collection of heroes, villains, environments however, it also includes completely new event cards that enable a campaign mode and hero variants. This edition also includes a brand new environment, Magmaria!
I canโt oversell how fantastic the Definitive Edition is, especially for those who were already fans of the game. The characters have been reworked to include keywords, better action economy, better power balance, new cards, new mechanics, and new powers. Because of this, I would say the Definitive Edition is not compatible with the original 2011 Sentinels of the Multiverse Game. Between the two versions, the core gameplay stayed the same. However, the Definitive Edition both streamlines cards and enhances complexity by creating a standardized keyword set for interacting with hands and decks. The art has also been revamped, which makes the game look especially polished.
I absolutely loved playing the Definitive Edition and cannot wait to see the new expansions! I highly recommend picking it up. Though a steep price at about $70 (find it here), it is completely worth it, especially if you are already a fan of the game.

Thank you for revisiting this. We never looked into the expansion for all that we love the original version, mostly because it seems to take forever at least the way we play (we’re a brooding bunch and tend to overthink things sometimes). It’s cool to see how it’s evolved.
These games aren’t just about rolling dice โ they’re about immersing yourself in the blood-curdling atmosphere of beloved horror films. With unique survival (and kill!) horror mechanics and cooperative gameplay, you’ll feel the terror coursing through your veins with every move!
But wait, there’s more! With the Kickstarter to House of 1000 Corpses shipping soon, we have an in-depth review coming up for that game, Halloween II–AND…Chucky. BOOMMM!!!
Step into the enchanting world of Little Alchemist, where crafting meets puzzle-solving in a visually stunning adventure.
We sat down with Nathan Meunier from Czech Games to uncover the secrets behind this captivating new title that’s brewing up excitement in the gaming community.
