Marvel Champions: The Card Game

Product Information

Marvel Champions is a living card game (LCG) from Fantasy Flight Games (FFG). FFG are known for their LCGs, so how does Marvel Champions shape up against Arkham Horror and The Lord of the Rings? The game continues this way until the Villain has been defeated, by reducing his hit points to zero, for both stages and the player’s win. Players lose if the Villains scheme threshold reaches its maximum or they all have their hit points reduced to zero. Strategy

Analysis paralysis can be an issue for some people while playing Marvel Champions. That’s the downside of a game that gives you so many options every turn. You could have six or seven cards in your hand and you’ll need to figure out which cards are best for you and your team while also knowing what your teammates’ plans are. It’s a lot to think about and pay attention to, especially during your first couple of games with a new hero.

A boy, a helmet, and an intergalactic legacy! Sam Alexander isn’t just any teenager; he’s been recruited to the Nova Corps, the universe’s police force. And it’s his job to look after his family and his planet as the high-flying hero Nova!

There are a lot of keywords and some edge case rules which might confuse players at first or when certain combinations of cards come up, but I think this is the nature of LCGs in general. In the instances where I have been unsure I have just go with what makes sense. After a few plays though the game feels smooth and streamlined. Each of the heroes feels and plays differently and comes with their own play style. Add into that the different aspects, villains and side schemes and you have a different feeling game each time. She also has low base stats, so these different energy forms are crucial in your fight against Thanos and his mates. You can’t always choose exactly when to switch, but there are quite a few cards that give you the option and provide extra benefits when you do. Play continues this way with the hero phase then the villain phase until either the villain has been reduced to zero health and the heroes win, or the main scheme has enough threat to end the game or all heroes health has been reduced to zero. Thinking like Marvel ChampionsSinister Motives - Includes Spider-Man (Miles Morales) and Ghost-Spider as new playable heroes. Villains included are Sandman, Venom, Mysterio, The Sinister Six, and Venom Goblin. [33] This was a very tough battle, where me and my partner ended up with 3 acceleration tokens on the main scheme! But in the end, we managed to do some big damage to the villains just as Avenger Tower was ready to collapse. Purple Peril I’ve really enjoyed The Mad Titan’s Shadow– but there’s more content I haven’t got to yet! As mentioned earlier Hela and Loki are the next two villains waiting if you can best Thanos and his super-powered mitten. Of course, you can just skip around and play each scenario as a standalone game if you want. It’s also very easy to adjust the difficulty. If you want Rhino to be tougher, use the Rhino II and Rhino III cards instead of I and II, and/or you can just shuffle in a more difficult modular encounter set. Marvel Champions is a cooperative card game in which you play as Marvel superheroes who are attempting to thwart villains’ evil schemes. This is the third cooperative Living Card Game (LCG) that Fantasy Flight has released following The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game and Arkham Horror: The Card Game, which means that new content will be released for it every month.
