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 Weigel’s review) is back and better than ever before! 

Eleven years after its initial release, the much beloved game has been revamped into the “Definitive Edition”. However, don’t be confused by the name. This is not a comprehensive “Big Box” with all the released characters, this is something even more exciting—a 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!

A summary of the difference between the contents of Sentinels of the Multiverse (2011) and Sentinels of the Multiverse: Definitive Edition (2022).

I can’t 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. 

An example of the new cards and art from page 3 of the Sentinels of the Multiverse Rulebook.

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. 5 out of 5 stars (5 / 5)

    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.
