Changing up campaigns





Hi hi

Me and my friend decided to go back and play the rise of red skull. 

We really wanted to focus on flavour and have a good time rather than making it super difficult or what ever, and it has been really fun and refreshing to go back and play more of the older cards.

We decided on playing the spies vs hydra's forces, me with Black Widow and him with Jessica Drew.

here are the lists we used out of interest, they are nothing ground breaking but they were  fun.



With more runs through im sure we could improve these lists but they were good enough for what we needed. 


The twist we did to the campaign was simple



we used the Captain America Encounter set as an extra set that went in every scenario.

This added more minions that were not out of place and just changed the missions up enough that made it a new experience. at any moment hit squad or Zemo could deal you damage and that put some new tension into a game that otherwise seems very familiar by now.
You could of course go even further if you wanted swapping out some sets for more hydra theme encounter sets or even changing it up completely with other side sets that complement what the villain's are trying to do. you could even add victory points to some of the cards and make a credits style system, similar to the guardians campaign.

I am aware that this isn't anything ground breaking but after we finished taking down the red skull we instantly wanted to try this again, tweaking campaigns and seeing how they change it up.

our next idea has been to play the guardians campaign, adding the Ronan print and play to each mission (we wont add him vs Ronan at the end for obvious reasons but might add something else) but giving Ronan victory 3. That way we get some more extra credits and that balances the extra difficulty. 
this seems like a fun way to maybe address some of the issues with the difficulty settings in the box, we will have to play around more to see, but the point is to push ideas and change things up. maybe the collector will fell very different if you swap out one of his sets, what would you recommend? 

I also want to at some point try making my own campaign, solely using cards and encounter sets that I have and really see where the creative side of villain deckbuilding can take us, I know that some people have already tried some of these things to great success and its one of the most under used sides of champions in my opinion.

anyway until next time!

p.s. for the guardians campaign we are using Venom and Spiderman, here is my deck list and one I'm having a lot of fun with so far.

Hit or miss?

Hi everyone! Check out these two side schemes    Is one more important to deal with than the other?   What about these two minions?   What factors should you consider when deciding to deal with it this turn? Should you even deal with it?   A lot of people when confronted with a scheme or minion will jump to first think what’s the best way to remove that from the board. But maybe the question should be what is it doing to the game state?   Check this out   Once this card has done its thing, what is the difference between this card and an advance token? What about his one? Is there a difference between this and playing on heroic 1 if you left it in play? How bad is that for you?   Well let’s try to thing about the factors that goes into answering these questions The first question for me would be what difficulty am I playing on? One extra threat a turn could be easy to manage if I’m on standard where I’m not expecting a load of cards flung at me and th

My big issues with Champions

 Hi So this is the story about how I felt like I had to apologize for playing marvel champions.  I have a friend that I play Arkham horror with on a regular basis.  We had a little gap between campaigns that I felt was a perfect spot to introduce him to marvel champions. Oh boy. The first week we played vs Kang and started off well, but my god does Kang drag on!  we spent ages and ages (in different ages) fighting his stage one, but once we had finally beat that stage we put out the split stage and both of were starting to think the game had outstayed its welcome.  The thought of having to beat two more stages was daunting and it was already getting late.  We decided to continue with the game and was surprised to find that actually we defeated the other two stages in 4 turns, phew! was my fist thought, but we we started to talk about the game, and the weird that feeling was beating his other stages in so few turns. We discussed about how this is backwards to how most other games normal
