    I completely agree with your assessment of this game. I used to think Arkham Horror the Card Game was my favorite game, but going back and forth between them I always feel like playing Marvel Champions. I have actually started selling off old board games to buy more Marvel Champions.

      Glad to hear from a fellow compatriot! 😆
      I followed a similar path. Once upon a time Champions was just one of many games, and slowly but surely I stopped playing everything else. Now I’m at the point where I could’ve even name 5 board games that came out this year, and that’s just so crazy to me lol

    Best Marvel Champions video I've seen. Period.
    Some thoughts about the topics you covered:
    - Split Personality: I made proxies for this and Gamma Slam and use them instead of Legal Practice.
    - The "entity" cards I use their effects when revealed as encounters OR as boosters (otherwise they're useless.)
    - I absolutely agree with you about Monica Chang: they should make more cards revitalizing older ones, it simply is a great idea!
    - I'm gonna try all the villain+encounter set mixes that you recommend.
    *Have you played Red Skull on expert with Anachronauts AND Master of Time?* I challenge you to do it and upload a video!
    - I LOVE so much things about this game! Currently I've played 627 games and I'm not tired of it at ALL! So I guess it's the best card game ever to me too hehehe.
    - About the heroes, I'm specially in love with Nebula, Ironheart, Iron man, Ghost Spider, She-Hulk (with my modifications), Black Widow, Wasp, Star Lord, Nova and many, many others hahaha. (I'm waiting for Drax, Venom and SP/dr to arrive next week, and for the X-men I will have to wait until December or next year 'cause I live in Ecuador, South America, and it is hard to get things here.)
    Lots of things to comment about your video, but I don't wanna make this wall of text even larger 😅😅😅
    Please consider to run my challenge here on your channel!

      @GetUpandGame  Рік тому +3

      That is incredible praise, and I’m always so humbled by your kindness. Thank you!
      That’s a great idea for She-Hulk. I would definitely play her more if that were her setup!
      I really like that mod for the entities, and I actually take it a step further and just chuck them all into the encounter deck at the beginning of the game and treat them like an encounter set. Only once in awhile, and only if I’m using the Infinity Gauntlet, but it’s fun when I do!
      I have not tried that particular combo! But I accept your challenge and I will do that on a video sometime! I can’t promise when but I guarantee you’ll see it at some point and I’ll try not to make it too long from now. Thanks for the idea! That sounds really fun but very challenging lol. Gives me a good excuse to try to build a really strong deck
      I’m so excited for you be getting Drax, Venom, and SP//dr!! Those are all top tier heroes for me and sooooooo much fun!
      Haha please don’t ever worry about leaving a long comment, I appreciate them so much!!

You nailed it with the reasons why the game is so great. The community has been very welcoming and friendly and I’d add that that the game has nearly perfected the art of thematic play.

      Yes, apologies, I should’ve been more clear. When paying mental resources for Moon Girl, only the first 3 will draw you cards. They’ve ruled that “paying” for a card and “overpaying” for a card are different. And since her text says “for each resource used to PAY for Moon Girl draw a card”, anything past 3 does nothing.
      When she first came out many of us assumed you could just pump mentals into her and draw cards like crazy lol

    Really enjoyed your content. I literally just got the base game today. I have NEVER played any of the deck-building card games before. I come mostly from the wargaming side (target for Today/Tonight, RAF, D-Day Series). I only play a little online except for sim racing and Cities Skylines. I only play solo, and MC came up on many best-of-solo game lists. I selected it because of the theme. No real interest in the Fantasy/Post Apocolyps worlds. Big Marvel fan, though.
    I've been watching a lot of how-to-play content online, waiting for the game to arrive. Really like your presentation style and decent production quality. Hope to figure out how this whole thing works over the next few days.
    Thanks for your time and effort.

    You got a sub from me. Great vid! I love this game. I hope FFg keeps it going for a long time.. but even if it dies (like most of their other products) it can still live on since it is coop. My opinion on player count is 1,2 and very occasionally 3p are all amazing in this game. 4p is not.. it is so extremely long with huge downtimes.. if I have 3-4 hours to play a game, I’m not going to spend it on one game of marvel lol. I think the scaling really just draws it out, but Dosent add any complexity or difficulty IMO. I have a lot of friends that play and I think we all agree that if we have 4p we would rather split the party and get 2-3 games of 2p in rather then one long 4p game. I think the main issue is yes, it is social, but 4p devising a plan takes a very long time each turn.. and the board state changes so much by the time it gets back to you, that it is hard to pre plan exactly what order you are going to do actions. This inevitably makes everyone turn take a very long time as the board is basically brand new every turn. And then each encounter card phase resolution Takes twice as long as a 2p.. so it’s a lot of just waiting on people to think. And react, and it’s just not my cup of tea. Just my thoughts. Still one of my fav game though!!! And also, you are correct.. the deck building is perfect! It has depth, but is easy for people new to ccgs to feel comfortably diving into Deck building

    • @GetUpandGame
      @GetUpandGame  Рік тому +1

      Thanks for the sub and the kind words!!
      Haha I know what you mean. It was a very sad day for me when they announced LOTR was going on “hiatus”. But we got 10 years out of that, and there’s way more source material for Marvel so I’m optimistic we’ll get at least the same amount of content.
      That’s totally fair! I’ll admit my multiplayer experience is very limited. I play solo the vast majority of the time, I get a couple two player games in a month, and my only 4 player games occurred at Con of Heroes in May. And at the convention we were all very focused and very experienced. So it’s completely possible my opinion here is pretty uninformed lol. And I knew that when I made this point as I’ve seen a lot of similar statements as yours in other places. 🙂
      But for me I just have sooooo much fun as more people come to the table and we all bring our different hero powers and different aspect cards to bear on the villain. Seeing how everything combined together was always so fascinating to me. It made me really wish I had a regular group to play this with.
      But again, I’ve seen enough people say it’s not for them that maybe it would end up being not worth it if I did it all the time lol. So I 100% see where you’re coming from!

      For fancy tokens and extra goodies to spice up the game this website is a favorite among Champions players:
      buythesametoken.com/collections/marvel-champions-lcg
      For storage, I really like these types of basic card boxes. Here’s a link for a really big one:
      www.amazon.com/dp/B000K41E6K/ref=cm_sw_r_awdo_226SQ2A2GFY5Z65C8JBC_0#
      If you’re planning on getting everything over time this will keep you going for awhile. If you’re planning on slowly growing your collection then this size might be more suitable:
      www.amazon.com/BCW-1600-Card-Shoe-Storage/dp/B09KMF8T78/ref=mp_s_a_1_15?crid=O9TQ6IO3F1DC&keywords=bcw+card+storage+box&qid=1666543381&qu=eyJxc2MiOiI1LjQwIiwicXNhIjoiNC45MiIsInFzcCI6IjQuODAifQ%3D%3D&sprefix=%2Caps%2C194&sr=8-15#
      And finally, another great place to go for dividers is: www.tesseractgames.co.uk/card-game-dividers
      They also have some other upgrades you might be interested in!
      And finally, here’s a link to the Discord server I hang out in. If you’re interested there are many people there that like to get a lot of cool upgrades so there will be lots of very nice people to answer any questions you might have! discord.gg/chS4rrRg

    Awesome video! Perhaps you did this already, but I bet you could get a lot of extra views of this content by breaking it up into separate videos.

      Thank you so much for the kind words and suggestions!
      I have no doubt you’re right that I would be much better off making shorter videos lol. I have quite a few videos in the hour or longer range. Unfortunately I’ve found that it’s just easier for me to do everything in one shot instead of breaking up a topic into multiple segments. There’s a lot of post production that goes into every video, so if you do multiple videos you have to do the post production multiple times. So my (probably) lazy solution is just to always do everything about a topic in one video, put it out there, and hope people will just keep coming back to it til they’re done 😆
      That’s a great idea about revisiting these and updating them! I’ve been meaning to do that for quite some time, and hopefully I can get to that sooner rather than later!

I've seen D20 do that a lot from his live recordings, which will be hours long, but then he'll take a segment (or segments) of it and also post those later. Maybe that's not as easy to do as I thought -- I don't know the process myself.

    1:21:16 I bet we WON'T get Surfer as a playable character - I'm willing to bet he's a story element in the (unannounced but inevitable) Fantastic 4 boxed sets. I'm betting the first box will be a few street-level mooks (Mole Man & Puppet Master, maybe), then Namor, Mephisto, and Doctor Doom; the second will be a Herald of Galactus story taking them into space against Blastaar, Annihilus, Super-Skrull, Silver Surfer as Herald, then Galactus himself with some mechanic that represents Surfer turning against him.

    I've burned out for now at least 😂.
    I like the combo ey complicated turns that you get with Nova/Ghost Spider and even Scarlet Witch or Nebula or Valkyrie in full flow. Not the button mashing of Ironheart.
    Also your combos are guaranteed to come off. You see every card in your deck repeatedly (usually) and no opponent quits on you :)
    I think the strength of the game is its approachability - fairly easy 2 player at least and tunable. Also deckbuilding is forgiving - any card is a resource and you only play about 1/3 of the cards in a deck cycle.
    It's comfort food gaming though with higher high points than that implies.
    Still I bounced off Mutant Genesis and I'm pretty bored of Marvel in general but I think I'll be back.

    Hello! Sorry for the newbie question, but is Marvel Champions worth it if I only pick the big boxes expansions? I'm not a big fan of scenario/hero packs, but I've heard that they are essencial to get more into deck construction.

    • @GetUpandGame
      @GetUpandGame  Рік тому +1

      Hello! No need to apologize, that’s a great question! I think it’s still worth it for sure. There’s tons of gameplay in just the Core set alone, with 5 heroes and 3 villains. And then assuming you got all the big box expansions, you’d have 17 heroes total and 33 villains. That’s a lot of variety.
      It’s true that the deck building would be a bit spotty. And if that’s something you’re interested in doing there might be a couple hero packs here and there I would probably recommend. Especially if you really want to buff certain heroes. But there are lots of people who play this game that don’t do any deck building, or at the least very minimal. Every hero comes with a playable deck, and even with just Core cards you can tweak them to make them better than they are.
      The difficulty of the game is meant to be such that if you play on Standard you should be able to win much of the time with the preconstructed decks alone. This is mostly true lol. There are a few scenarios (particularly in the Guardians box) that are really tough, even on Standard. So even without top tier deck building you can compete with most if not all of the villains.
      So long answer short I would say yes! But there’s no denying that with a game like this more is always better, and if you really really like it I hope you have strong willpower cause it’s gonna be tempting to get more lol

    My favorite part about this game is that the cards can be spent as resources for other cards, or played for their own effect (paying the cost, of course). I’ve always liked the concept of multi-use cards, and this game has that subtly baked in with the printed resources. Similarly, I like double-sided flippable cards, and this has that with the identity (and some form cards, etc.). Finally, I grew up with heroes like Spider-Man and Captain America, so the theme of this game takes it over the top.

Although I still really hope he’s printed as soon as possible, there is a part of me that’s ALMOST glad he’s been saved, so that he’ll be designed in this more “mature” stage of the game, rather than in one of the earlier waves where there seemed to be some balance issues (poor Hulk, but even as recent as Valkyrie). I heard in an interview (I think with Nelson) where Caleb mentioned having “line testers” now, who are dedicated to this specific game line and experienced with it. I wonder if that will help avoid some of those issues. Either way, I have to feel like they’re saving or concocting some special design concept for Daredevil to go with his unique powers.

    What does assess the situation get you? Increased hand size only helps if you can draw up? Are you supposed to combo it with draw cards?

    • @GetUpandGame
      @GetUpandGame  Рік тому

      Great question! I really like it with the 4 hand side heroes because since they have one less card I find I more often end up with a hand that’s difficult to get the most out of. I can only play one card and then I have leftovers. So if I have Assess, instead of discarding what’s left or holding on to cards for the next turn, I can play that and get a better hand for the next turn. But it’s rarely a priority. If I need it to help pay for a card I’m happy to use it as a resource, but if it works out that I can do everything I want to do and still play it then it’s really nice
      I also use it in some decks where I’m trying to do a very specific thing, like if the deck is built around a combo and I don’t want to put anything in the deck besides exactly what I need. Then I’ll use those instead of just adding more aspect cards I don’t really care about, and then I can play the Assess’ to help get to my combo pieces faster.
      So not an every deck kind of card but one I really like in the right spots!

      Unfortunately they’ve ruled that if they do appear as a boost effect, they are then discarded into your discard pile, because whenever a card is discarded from play it’s always put into its owner’s discard pile. So they basically doubled down on keeping them from being as powerful as possible lol.

    -It is almost infinitely modular, with the spirits you choose to play with, the board setup, the enemy you play against and the difficulty you set them at, scenarios that change up key mechanics of how the game works or what the objective is
    -Every spirit thay you can play as is completely unique, even more so in a lot of cases than the heroes in Marvel Champions
    -The hype is real and they are still putting out massive expansions, with multiple more on the horizon (although it is in big chunks rather than a pack a month)
