Introducing World Legends – Any Hero Essentials
A new chapter in the Overpower Legacy. After more than 20 years, BMG & Associates is thrilled to bring you a groundbreaking product that seamlessly integrates with the beloved Overpower game. World Legends – Any Hero Essentials opens up a world of new possibilities, allowing players to expand their decks and strategies like never before.
Our mission
BMG is a game design company consisting of talented professionals with a deep well of experience designing and bringing to market collectable card games and major fantasy games.
These experiences range from working on the original Overpower ™ game at Marvel Comics to contributing design work for the Magic the Gathering Arena of the Planeswalkers game.
BMG is ecstatic to be bringing a new version of the Overpower ™ Card Game to market, utilising over 20 years of innovation in game design, while keeping it compatible with the original game everyone knows and loves.
Following this product’s success, BMG also plans on bringing to market other beloved games that will find new legs in a modern time where gaming and a love of nostalgia are at an all-time high.
Community Driven
Our philosophy is that gaming at its heart is about one thing; community. Whether it is a community of fierce competitors to test yourself against or a kitchen table of life long friends to escape with, gaming brings people of all backgrounds and cultures together and transcends our differences.
The founders of BMG have built many gaming communities and developed deep and meaningful personal relationships that have carried on beyond the table. It’s those relationships that inspired us to create BMG to bring that experience to as many people as possible.
We believe that running a gaming community, one that is approachable and listens to the feedback of our players, cultivates an environment of support and connection that fosters the most positive gaming experience for everyone.
At BMG we believe in a better world through gaming.
Design Focused
We at BMG believe the key to enjoyment and longevity in any game is a balanced design. Any gamer will tell you that nothing kills a living game faster than unbalanced mechanics – especially when more “powerful” strategies are created simply to fuel the sales.
Games that have stood the test of time are designed to allow different players to play the game the way THEY want to and to create new strategies that can shift the metas of competitive play.
Some of our best gaming experiences have been losing to someone who has come up with a new strategy or tactic, while some of our least fun experiences have been playing a game where everyone has to conform to play the exact same way because of an overpowered game mechanic.
Living games like CCG’s should never be decided by who has the biggest wallet. Competitive game environments should always be accessible to any player, young or old, without significant financial barriers.
Our Team
We are an award-winning multidisciplinary team based in Boston with a passion for creating innovative games. We work with businesses and people to create a more beautiful world.
