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.

One extra threat a turn could be easy to manage if I’m on standard where I’m not expec...

Get it on the table!

Hi me again Let’s talk about types of cards in champions and why you shouldn’t be afraid to put the cards out of the table. In marvel champions we have two types of cards that you play onto the table, “permanent” and “temporary” cards. Temporary are cards that stay for a while and then are discarded to be shuffled back into your deck and then are used again. Here are some examples of temporary cards. Most temporary cards seem to help manage the game in game in some way, either by removing threat or dealing damage. This can be in the form of removing side schemes, defeating minions or helping with the win/lose conditions of the game (threat on the main scheme or damage on the villain). Permanent cards are cards that baring any affect from the villain, will stay in play for the rest of the game. Here are some examples. Most permanent cards are cards that either allow you to play more cards in a turn or draw you more cards (which help you play more cards in...
