Schiller looked through all the cards and found the game's design quite clever. It bore the name Sanguosha, but it was actually more like Hearthstone, with dice rolls for checks, while summoning characters felt a bit like Pokémon battles.
Everyone had a main control card—the lord in Sanguosha, the hero in Hearthstone. At the start, they rolled dice and summoned characters matching the number rolled onto the field.

Disney had created this to promote American superheroes, so it basically only featured American superheroes. Schiller had heard there was apparently a Chinese hero version, but it was a mobile game, and they couldn't play it outside the firewall.

Schiller was very curious about what his own card did.

Gwen did not find a card of herself, but she did find Spider-Gwen. Besides working with
