There’s never been vigilante justice like ’70s vigilante justice. Just as mean as the crime they fought fight, these hard-nosed heroes keep the streets safe for the good people of the city. They never back down, even when the odds are stacked way against them, because a good drink can help you shrug off anything. No matter what your opponent may throw at you, the Vigilantes will answer.

The Vigilantes have an unusual cast of minions. They are similar to the [[Princesses]], which have a low number of six minions but all at power 5, except Vigilantes have seven of them and they are all at power 4, so nearly as strong as but not quite as strong as "boss" minions.

While they aren't as powerful as power-5 minions, their abilities make up for it by being quite aggressive, oppressive and powerful, ranging from retrieving the best cards from your deck or discard pile (Stoneford and Shaft), instantly removing minions from play (Dusty Henry, Knocked into Next Week), granting great power boosts (A Whole Lot Meaner, Tough It Out) and more prominently dissuading your opponents from acting (Death Wisher, Jacky Bill, Feeling Lucky?)

There’s never been vigilante justice like ’70s vigilante justice. Just as mean as the crime they fought fight, these hard-nosed heroes keep the streets safe for the good people of the city. They never back down, even when the odds are stacked way against them, because a good drink can help you shrug off anything. No matter what your opponent may throw at you, the Vigilantes will answer.

Vigilantes are from the That '70s Expansion set and do not have a Titan card.

Complexity Level: Medium-High
Mechanics
  • Seven Unique Power-4 Minions
  • Powerful Minion Abilities

The Vigilantes have an unusual cast of minions. They are similar to the Princesses, which have a low number of six minions but all at power 5, except Vigilantes have seven and they are all at power 4.

While they aren't as powerful as power-5 minions, their abilities make up for it by being quite aggressive, oppressive and powerful, ranging from retrieving the best cards from your deck or discard pile (Stoneford and Shaft), instantly removing minions from play (Dusty Henry, Knocked into Next Week), granting great power boosts (A Whole Lot Meaner, Tough It Out) and more.
