The pieces have round bases and were played on a square grid map at the time I played. Each piece had a set of stats. Each time the piece took damage, you turned a dial or "licked" it and the stats changed. Damage it enough times and the piece is destroyed and removed from play.

They started throwing cards into the game like it was Yugi-oh or something. Then they made the first generation set unplayable.
I think I have 5 or 6 full sets including LE pieces and convention only items. My most prized was a convention only giant Galactus piece that came with a Silver Surfer piece. Paid $100 for it at Dragoncon around 2003 or so. Goes for $400 or so on Ebay.
