Asmodee Marvel Champions The Card Game (Core Set) - Cooperative Superhero Strategy Game for Kids and Adults, Ages 14+, 1-4 Players, 45-90 Minute Playtime

Marvel champions is a great solo game. As a former magic the gathering player, i can appreciate the deck building side of champions. This is classified as an LCG which means there is randomness to the product. The cards you need for a full collection is contained in its products guaranteed. The down side of this game is that it comes with a great expense if you want to have every expansion for it. Right now there is about 35 hero expansions that range from $10-$15 each. That being said, the base set of this game is a great value. Inside you get 4 hero decks, Ironman Captain America Ms Marvel and Spiderman. These heroes can be combined with 1 of 4 attribute decks. This alone is enough for hours of play, coupled with 3 villains to fight, each with 2 difficulty settings. Even if you do not plan to buy any expansions, the base set will be good for hours of play time.This would be a great time for kids ages 12 and up as there is a lot of reading and critical thinking. Deckbuilding can be hard, but each character comes with a premade deck.At the time of this review, I own every single expansion for this game with 50 plays. I'm still looking forward to playing more and can highly recommend this game.

I really like this game. It's super thematic, easy to set up, play, and pack up. It strikes a marvelous balance of being able to just throw a deck together and try it (and it actually works) while also being able to dive in super deep and polish an idea to perfection to hone an incredible deck.The best part is that it's cooperative, so no matter how good or bad you are, all of the players are working together to get things done in the end.I've gotten dozens of plays out of just this core game without any expansions and there are times I'll go back to the basics and just play from cards out of the core box. There are so many ideas I want to try and I can't wait to play them all.The three scenarios in this box are challenging without being impossible with the player cards available and they give you plenty of options to adjust the difficulty. A majority of the player cards are absolutely relevant even with nearly four dozen expansions out there. Almost all of them still see play in the biggest baddest decks possible so they aren't going to start collecting dust as soon as you get the latest expansion.I like this game so much, I waited for the price to come down so I could buy a second copy for multi-group game nights. In short, I'd recommend it.

Addicted to this game! Ive got 4 expansions so far and a few hero pack and im loving it so far. I love the fact that you can play it solo or with 4 people. Recommend!

Wolverine is a beast. I've been playing solo through the Mutant Genesis campaign and he is almost OP. Still, the cards are great. The artwork is perfect and he's a lot of fun to play. It was delivered quickly and in perfect condition.

Love this game. Every character plays differently and has a certain feel to them that mostly works. The villains in this game are tough, but not unbeatable. You are forced to make good decisions each turn or you run the risk of being punished. The multiple aspects also help keep the game fresh as a Spider-Man plays so much differently if you fight one baddie with the Justice aspect then play the exact same game against but with the Aggression aspect. On top of that, you can change-up the villains with different modules (bad events/schemes) each time so you have new challenges to overcome.The rules, however, are the toughest obstacle you must overcome. FFG has revised the rule book five times I believe as of this review and only now settled on what the word "you" means. It's truly not as tough as that statement makes it sound, but you do have to be very precise as you play to ensure the proper events are occurring at the proper time. It doesn't take long to grasp, but as the universe of heroes and villains expands, new keywords and concepts are introduced, which just adds more tripwires to the rules, in my opinion. Because of all this, it's a tough game to teach as well.Note the game is designed to scale based on player count. The game is fun solo, but I think its sweet spot is 2-3 players. You get the superhero team-up feel without the game feeling like it will never end. Four players is doable, but makes the game drag on for too long.If you are a Marvel fan and you love deck builders, this game is awesome. Otherwise, I think you can find better options for your gaming time. But I happen to love Marvel and deck builders, so this game gets a good score from me!
