Marvel Champions: The Card Game

What a superb game. It took some time for me to get into it (7 years later xD), but it has quickly become one of my favourite boss battler cooperative card games, in the same category of greatness as Aeon's End. The thing that really stands out to me in this game is the thematic integration of its characters. Each hero has a different feel and somewhat reflects more or less successfully its theme. There's a lot of variety in the super hero designs, and the fact that you can switch which Aspect to play with them freshens up things. I don't think I will be optimising the decks anytime soon. I'm not that much into designing and building decks, but I'm sure there's a lot of already made designs when I get bored with the basic ones. Solo play is excellent. It stays well within the time I want to dedicate to a single game. 60 minutes. Unlike my other favourite card game: Imperium Legends, which just takes too damn long to finish. I also love that there's so much content. Yes, it's expensive to get it all. But you don't have to buy everything, just buy the heroes and campaigns you know and like. In the end, for the amount of enjoyment you get it's overall cheap compared to most entertainment options. Setup and teardown time is also top notch. Unlike other card games. Very simple to set up. I love that too.

Very good solo game. The game setup is simple and fast, and solo games can be finished in 40 minutes. Which makes it very appealing to play a game when you have a free time gap. As players are added the game duration increases. Deck construction is a bit limited (since you have to stick with all the hero cards)... Quite abstract, simply dealing out blows and stopping the progress of plans. It's hard to feel the theme, but I'm not a Marvel fan... Maybe someone more into the lore could enjoy this ascpect a bit more. --- Muy buen juego en solitario. El setup del juego es sencillo y rápido, y las partidas (en solitario) se pueden acabar en 40 minutos. Lo cual hace que sea muy apetecible echar un partida cuando tienes un hueco libre. A medida que se añaden jugadores la partida puede alargarse mucho. La construcción de mazos es un poco limitado (dado que tienes que quedarte todas las cartas de héroe)... Bastante abstracto, simplemente repartir golpes y frenar el avance de los planes. Es difícil ver el tema, pero no soy fan de Marvel.. Puede que alguien más conocedor del lore pueda disfrutarlo más.
