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

This is such a fun game for a group and especially solo. It takes a little bit of reading to understand the cards, but once you do it’s easy and fun to play. I recommend if you want a themed, in-depth card game. It also comes with everything you need to start playing right away. This is not for kids 14 or younger.

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.

This is a VERY fun card game. I didn’t expect to enjoy it as much as I have. I haven’t collected cards since I was a kid (Pokémon and Yugioh). I am now looking at hero packs and even already purchased Captain America’s hero deck! The game is versatile, strategic, marvelously thematic, and just plain fun to play! You can play solo or with up to 4 other people. You can build your deck around your hero’s abilities. Just so many options to keep this game interesting, with additional heroes, villains, scenarios, and expansions! The game does take a bit to learn and it overwhelmed me at first. But YouTube has plenty of great videos and after a couple of run throughs I am hooked! Looking forward to saving some money and buying my other favorite characters like Thor, Wolverine, and Storm! Makes me feel like a kid again. Buy some card protector slips to make sure your cards don’t get damaged. You’ll be playing this a lot once you learn it!

We have teens and they seem to love participating in board games with their peers. I think that these are great for the price we pay, and the quality is great. The age group does not seem to apply here, and we all have had a great time playing them. It was easy instructions and was easy to learn to play. We keep all of our games in a large storage cabinet, and this fits in so perfectly so i would say that the storage capacity is perfect.

Excited to start this new card game based on the Marvel Universe! So far it’s pretty good. Fine for kids 13 and up.it doesn’t drag on too much and you can take it anywhere.

Been playing this nonstop

This is a very cool game from the makers of Arkham Horror LCG. You can really see the ten years of progress that have been made between Arkham and Marvel. It's more streamlined, more intuitive, comes in a box that's set up for card organizing (coming in a totally useless box is easily my biggest complaint about the Arkham Horror LCG), and looks great. It's easier to read the cards in this one; tiny, tiny text stuffed onto a card is one of the hallmarks of Living Card Games, and it's nice to have one I can play without constantly having to flip a pair of dime store reading glasses on and off. This game is so full of Marvel-ness, and it plays off the comic books, not the movies, which is excellent, since the actual comics have a million times as much content as the MCU. There are still some echoes of the MCU, however; for instance, the game leans really heavily into Spider-man and the Avengers, and there is a noticeable lack of X-Men related content, at least at the moment. (I'm writing this in January of 2021.) Hopefully that will be corrected, since the Marvel Universe without X-Men is like a virgin daiquiri - still good, but lacking an essential element. All in all, though, I am loving this game. The mechanics are clever, it shows a lot of love and knowledge of the source material, and it's easy to set up and play, either alone or with friends. You get enough in the starter box for four players, which is another big improvement over past offerings from Fantasy Flight Games. I'm really looking forward to collecting all the content for this one.

Amazing game, nice starter set with enough options. But the She Hulk deck was missing card nr. 1 to 5..., the seal of the foil seemed to have a manufacturing error. Was really looking forward to this game, kinda bummed :(

This is an absolutely cracking game! Each player takes the role of a member of the Marvel pantheon and, through a delightfully simple customisation system for advanced players, each character is played in entirely different ways. Iron Man and Black Panther must suit up before they can start start really breaking out, but when they do they'll shred the opposition. Powerhouses, Captain Marvel and She Hulk, deliver ground-shaking blows but also offer complexity and can take the hurt. And then there's Spider-Man. He's the one you learn to play first with Captain Marvel for the second Player. Our beloved wall-crawler is dynamic, uncomplicated and diverse: the perfect all-rounder. The game allows for up to 4 players to play simultaneously, and with each player phase done, the Villain takes their turn. The game comes with 3 fully customisable Villain decks, each with their own difficulty levels. Start with Rhino, build confidence, make him tougher and get the feel of the heroes. Then take on the unpredicable Klaw at his easiest difficulty. Sooner or later you'll get the courage to take on the game's tier 3 Villain: Ultron. Use everything you've learnt and you will take him down. Then set him to full power and feel the sheer terror of him taking the Multiverse as he clouds the skies with drones. This game recommends 12+ age. I've had children of a much younger age knocking Ultron around - the tough part is making sure they respect the cards (and their wording). This can be a great hobby or focus tool with supervision. With this version of the game you can, should you enjoy it as much as I have, buy the expansions box and blister sets. I recommend these, too, but for the right price look for the player's favorite characters first! For instance, some characters are their own blister packs, ie: Captain America, Incredible Hulk, Black Widow, while others appear in the Box Sets (that come with SSOOOOO much more) such as Shadowcat and Colossus, Rocket and Groot. The game does come with counters. I recommend a small tray to keep them accessible in-game, but other than that this game comes with everything. The more players, the more table space you are going to require. Excellent replayability and advanced players will enjoy customising every aspect of the games to come. You will spend about 45 mins per game but you'll lose hours if you love the game.

Jogo fenomenal, pena que não veio em português

Si te gustan los juegos cooperativos y los deck building la verdad es que este juego tiene que estar en tu coleccion, mecanicas divertidas, un poco de deck building al estilo MTG, muy dinamico y con un buen nivel de dificultad, poco a poco me he comprado mas expansiones y puedo decir que va muy bien.

As someone who often plays solo, Marvel Champions has been an absolute gem. The game is designed with solo play in mind—each hero feels unique, and the modular villain system keeps things fresh and challenging every time. Whether you're taking on Rhino for a quick match or diving into a longer battle with Ultron, the experience is consistently engaging and rewarding. The core set includes five heroes and three villains, offering plenty of variety right out of the box. The deck-building is intuitive but deep, and the game scales beautifully whether you're playing solo or with others. The production quality is excellent, with vibrant artwork and clear components. If you're a Marvel fan or just love strategic card games that respect solo players, this is a fantastic investment.
