none
Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Bag Building — Falter cubes are given by some of the villains. When you get a falter cube, it's thrown into your bag. When you draw it, the villain in your zone who has the highest attack is going to do that much damage to you.
- Card Play — New special abilities cards allow choosing between thwart, move, or weaken.
- Double-sided board — Black Samson is a double-sided board. He starts with certain powers and then flips to a powered up suit.
- Hero Powers — New heroes have signature powers, for example, Monster Girl can use falter cubes as if they are wild, or Duplicate can make duplicate characters.
- Scenario Book — An entire book where you're going to go through the events that happen in the second season of Invincible.

Quotes (from this video)
- I always found Invincible incredibly tough, and I'm going to be perfectly blunt. I don't think I've ever won a game of Invincible. It is so tough.
- But, it's also a lot of fun, and I don't mind games that are hard, and I don't mind games that I can't win if I'm having fun playing them.
- In fact, I say that's a that's a mark of a good game is when you're losing and you're still having fun, and I played plenty of games that that was the case.
- So, on the Cody scale, I'm going to go ahead I'm going to give Invincible, the hero building game, season 2, a seven out of 10.
