Pros
- clever rubble-based market mechanic with a thematic tie-in
- frequent possibility for varied card combinations and interactions with artifacts
- supports Marvel theme; appealing to Marvel fans
Cons
- not a lot of card variety or distinct mechanics beyond the core deck-building
- some players may find it repetitive or feel downtime between turns
- clunky in places (revealing and placing cards can be fiddly)
Thematic elements
- post-battle restoration and conflict resolution in a Marvel-inspired setting
- city rubble aftermath after a battle with a big alien
- story framing around heroes saving the day and dealing with the chaos left behind
Comparison games
- Valley of the Kings
- Tyrants of the Underdark
Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Action selection and timing — each turn you play a card to perform the chosen action; some actions uncover or reveal other cards.
- artifact and influence economy — artifact cards cost influence and provide ongoing or one-off powers; influence is earned via actions.
- deck-building — players start with four cards that determine main actions; actions include uncover, extract, demolish, and artifacts.
- end-game and deck cycling — game ends when either the rubble deck or the character deck runs out.
- modules and variants — base set plus modules like Mighty Asgard, Vibranium Synthesis, and Doctor Strange/Wong add extra cards and interactions.
- purchase of characters — at end of turn, spend icons from taken actions to acquire characters; some characters interact with artifacts and other icons.
- vault scoring — points come from trashing cards into a Vault and from characters; Vault cards have power-based scoring.

Quotes (from this video)
- this is fundamentally a deck building game
- the rubble thing it's quite unique it's a gimmick for something that could just be a straight display of cards but it's clever and thematic to what's going on so I do like that
- I think there's some clever things enough that you can play to the next game
- this is not my sort of game
