Last night, tabletop gaming company Upper Deck surprised us all with an announcement that they will be releasing Legendary Encounters: An X-Files Deck Building Game in summer 2018. Legendary is a well-known name in tabletop gaming circles. The original version of the game (and its many expansions) was based in the Marvel comics universe and several other versions have since been released based on various sci-fi/fantasy properties including Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Alien, Big Trouble in Little China, and Firefly.
For those unfamiliar with the game, Legendary and Legendary Encounters are cooperative deck building games. This is a genre of tabletop card games in which players begin with a set hand of weak cards, then use these cards to buy more powerful cards from the main deck, each round strengthening their own hand. The stronger the players become, the more capable they are of defeating an increasingly powerful set of villains. Players work together as a team to take down all the villains before the villains themselves take over the game and win.
