By Far. You had the best video at teaching this game.
Thanks! Very much appreciated! Hope you are enjoying your games.
It’s a great video I really enjoyed it -but not the best for someone who’s never played before. There are others that explain in more detail.
Loving your playthroughs - Have been playing solo as I thought multi-hand would be difficult but you have shown me different. Definitely going to try this tonight!
@Rolling With Rob Thanks for watching, and I hope your Marvel Team-Up goes well!! :)
Great and really nicely done "how to play"! Thank you! Also amazing pace of decision making for both players! Without even looking for too long on their cards.
Thanks, much appreciated!
Just got the game and your videos are super helpful and enjoyable , watching you play actually caused me to finally pull the trigger on buying it . Thanks
Welcome to the Marvel Champions fun!! Hope you enjoy as much as I have!
This was great!
I just started playing and came here to understand Black Panther better.
Just managed to beat Klaw with Black Panther + Protection 💪🏻
@Igor Guarisma Thanks for watching, and congrats on the win!! :)
Fantastic play through. I’ve played almost 10 games and still keep making mistakes. Your play through really answered a lot of tiny rules questions I wasn’t clear on.
I tried captain marvel with leadership 1 player but just got overwhelmed.
I still love the puzzle this game provides and the challenge. I get done with each game feeling excited whether I win or loose.
Thanks for watching! This is a really fun game, and I've enjoyed this game solo or in a group win or loose. I am partial to aggression and justice. Excited for future expansions!! :)
2 years, man! 2 years of Marvel champions! Incredible.
@Reinaldo Gomez Larenas Hard to believe it's been 2 years! Solid game, and the designers are doing a great job with each new hero!! :)
Good lord . Looks like I'll stick to trying to beat Rhino for my next 10 games.
@DrDribs lol Have fun, Rhino deserves it. :)
Thanks again Dale, I am going to play Klaw for the first time, great video for some of my questions.
Good luck Christian!! :)
Awesomenes!!! I whish all "playthrus" were this mix of explaining+walking. Cheers and kudos for your time and effort putting this together.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Dale, at 28:00 you played Ancestral Knowledge and put 3 Wakanda Forevers back in your deck. I believe that they have to be 3 different cards, as in the name of each card must be different.
Good catch! Really looking forward to an official FAQ on this game, but I see you’re point! I’ll try to stay with your interpretation for future plays. Thanks!
@@DaletheCasualGamer FFG has released a first iteration one in the Apendix III of the digital version of their rulebook: images-cdn.fantasyflightgames.com/filer_public/4e/cd/4ecda1b3-22b0-4eb8-a2e3-7236afd92aa3/mc_rulesreference_v11.pdf
At 25:21, when Weapons Runner come into play, and after puttiing the treat frome Klaw on the main scheme, Weapons Runner also thwart because you now have a minion engaged with T'Challa. Congrats for your videos. By far the best you can find for Marvel Champions.
And so does The Melter at about 31:50 since it's engaged with Peter Parker.
Love your videos - recently getting into the game and you have been so helpful!
@Matthew Lamos Glad the videos have helped, and happy gaming! :)
Damn, you're like one of the designers of this game. Yes, a couple of tiny mistakes, but the way and pace you play... Respect!
You can and should be featured on FFG channel in the part - How to play Marvel Champions :D
Thanks! And I prove I'm human with every video ... mistakes are bound to happen, but enjoying the game is priority for "the casual gamer". ;)
Dale the Casual Gamer exactly! We are not talking about playtrough on any tournament but play for fun. There are a lot of things to remember, especially with two heroes, and we all see that you are already a master in this game 😄
Cannot wait for more with different expansions snd heroes.
Great videos, very relaxing and I learn something new with each video I watch. I need to buy and play some of the newer sets so I can watch more of your videos
@Ben Kersnovske Glad you are enjoying the videos! And hope you are able to get some more Marvel packs soon. :)
25:30 Spider man draws a card because attack was initiated against him ;)
Great video. I'm learning a lot from each play.
On 9:56 when For Justice gets played in Spider man turn, the card reads "Hero Action (thwart) " I always thought that the hero needed to perform the same action in order to trigger those cards hehe.
For example Spider needed to thwart in order to play that card, but now I see that's not the case.
Glad to help with the game, and happy gaming! :)
Really enjoying your videos. Keep up the good work. Smooth and minimum mistakes ;)
Thanks! The down side to solo play is there isn’t anyone next to me to say, “hey, you missed something”. ;)
I want to thank you soo much for putting time into doing this for everyone and all the board games you play, you sir are awesome and again thank you :)
@Jsrf22 Thanks for watching, and very much appreciated! :)
@@DaletheCasualGamer what happened at 33:40? 👀 did things get rough?
@Jsrf33 Hard to tell, but edits sometimes come because of someone walking in not realizing I was recording, or loud noises from another room. So many other things going on while recording. The down side of not having a "real" studio. lol
Thanks for the video.
Thought the acceleration token was one more per player, thanks for the clarification.
@Jeff Lu You're welcome, and happy gaming! :)
Tried this guy tonight with BP and Iron Man...BP wiped out from full health by three consecutive attacks in one turn which I couldn't block because the minion pulled out for a boost had "exhaust your hero" on 😠. Managed to cling on to Klaw 2 but then had to reveal three schemes in one turn so gave up as a lost cause. Thanks for showing us how this game *should* be played 😂
Klaw is a tough one, especially with only one hero and starting with a minion and side scheme in play!
@@DaletheCasualGamerand yet the book says it's a 2 difficulty! How much harder does this game get? 😱😂
I like your videos bro! What sleeves are you using?
Currently I use Dragon Shield clear matte sleeves for everything that gets shuffled, and FFG (standard premium sleeves) for the identity, villain and main scheme cards (clear on both sides). Hope that helps, and happy gaming! :)
Thanks for sharing!
The one thing I miss the most often is the automatic scheming at the start of the villain phase. For some reason it is difficult for me to remember. It is nice to see I'm not the only one that sometimes forgets. :-)
Haha! I teach through personal mistakes. :)
Appreciated knowing about how to play Plack Panther end of phase, however why play 2 characters instead of cutting the boss in 1/2 for 1 player. Then again this comes from a man who does research on enemies per hero and makes minion games, therefore feeling like getting more bang for my buck in the expansions.
@kyle lindenberger Thanks for watching! I generally like to bring in allies early and get set-up for "the long game" and have options for defending before I go big into attacking, or else you can get hit pretty hard in the first few turns. :)
Awesome play through! Was wondering what type of card stands you’re using for your villains and schemes. Thanks in advance.
For cards getting shuffled I use Dragon Shield clear matte sleeves, and then for the character identity card, main villain card, and main schemes I use FFG sleeves (basically any premium sleeve that is clear on both sides). The Dragon Shield clear matte sleeves are "blurry" on one side, so not the best for dual sided cards but I love the way they feel. Hope that helps, and happy gaming!! :)
For card stands, he's using uberstax :)
@Retro Oops, went to cards instead of stax! They are UberStax and you can find purchase information for them at www.uberstax.com . I also did a video highlighting them at ua-cam.com/video/HBNRANBuKS4/v-deo.html and a handy attachment tray at ua-cam.com/video/dyC9jiuOrwc/v-deo.html . Hope that helps and happy gaming! :)
Great playthoguth at 29:22 how come you did not remove the threats from Defence network if it is a crisis icon ?
I could have gone that route, but was looking to get rid of the other side scheme to take 10 health off of Klaw, and planning on taking Klaw out the next turn. May have worked out the other way too! :)
No wonder I’ve been losing against Klaw really early. Been playing solo and every time his 1B main scheme gets 6 threat, I haven’t been switching it out for 2B. I just assume I lost the game. I’ve only ever played against rhino so I didn’t know that the schemes can progress.
@Reqkuiem Glad I was able to help! Go take down Klaw now! :)
Hey Dale. Thanks for your play-through videos. Always appreciate them. I have M.C., but haven't had a chance to break it open yet. Question: What is the brand of the plastic stands that you place on the table? The ones that hold the counters, upright cards, etc. I've seen them before, but forget what they are called. Thanks for any help.
Thanks for watching. The card holders are uberstax and can be purchased at uberstax.com. Enjoy your game!!
Dale the Casual Gamer Thanks, Dale! Out of curiosity, any big fantasy games on your play-through horizon?
Big Fantasy ... There are several KickStarters that I'm hoping will be arriving in the next couple of months such as Solomon Kane, Cthulhu: Death May Die, and D6: Dungeons, Dudes, Dames, Danger, Dice and Dragons. I plan on recording a session of Aeons End with the Ancients expansion this weekend, so I hope to have it edited and uploaded next Thursday.
What games did you have in mind, and what games are you currently playing?
Dale the Casual Gamer Looking forward to getting C: D.M.D., as well (late as it is). I have the Trickerion Collector’s Edition on the table now. Great game! Want to get Pipeline and Barrage going soon. And several unreleased items to look out for. Ouch. Wallet feeling a sting these days... thanks again for the content, Dale. 👍
Where did you your card holders for the mian she-umsand side she-um s Look s so Cool
@Charlie DEAD EYE ARCHER They are uberstax and are available at uberstax.com . I also did a video highlighting them at ua-cam.com/video/HBNRANBuKS4/v-deo.html . Hope that helps, and thanks for watching!
at 8:50 when you reveal the masters of evil side scheme, shouldnt you play another encounter card for black panther and spiderman? also at 26:38 when immortal claw comes out
No. The side schemes are the "encounter cards" for the character. Hope that helps. :)
Hi Dale , you could have finished the second klaw in the last minutes using black oanther itself , why did u use the attacks to take out minions and then use Spidey to finish klaw 2 ?
@Eashwar Ganeson Thanks for watching! That game was a long time ago for me ... Sometimes I just like hitting minions and forget about the villain (I easily get sidetracked) ... and sometimes those pesky minions have guard. :)
When black panther kills a version of rhino using less upgrades in " wakanda forever " series than the total , do the rest apply on the version of rhino coming next ???? Asking in this video because it's about black panther and haven't seen this situation before. Thanks a lot Dale bro.
My interpretation is that it does, since they would be separate instances of damage being caused. Hope that helps! :)
First off, thanks for the great video! Question on the rules. Starting at 30:00 when you were refilling the heroes hands you had to draw an encounter card for each one of them since the deck of each one ran out of cards. But you did not resolve these encounter cards until the last stage of the villain's phase. In this particular situation I guess it did not matter much since the player's phase had pretty much finished. But what about if your deck runs out of cards in the middle of your turn - do you immediately draw an encounter card, immediately resolve it and only then continue with your turn (this is what I have been doing)? Or do you deal yourself an encounter card but resolve it only during the villain's phase last stage? The rules are not very clear to me here, they say "immediately deal" but I am not sure when the resolving happens.
@todorkon The encounter cards are only resolved during step 4 of the villain phase, so no matter when you are dealt the card, you wait for the villain phase. Hope that helps, and good luck!!
@@DaletheCasualGamer Thanks, that makes it clear!
I don't think you reveal another encounter card if the villain deck runs out. What do you think?
Matúš Sedlák when the villain deck runs out you get an “acceleration token”, and then finish any encounter cards that need dealt ... I think, but not 100% sure. I know if you’re discarding for a card type the effect would “fizzle”.
At 13:28 you pulled the advance treachery card, I’m not sure that you treat that as a boost if it just says “the villain schemes” wouldn’t you just add his SCH value alone? Why would you boost it?
@vulkangamingTFU Thanks for watching! Unless the treachery card states otherwise, whenever the villain attacks or schemes, he will get a boost card. Hope that helps, and good luck in your game!
I just tried doing solo and against klaw... it is difficult
Depending on card draw, for you or the villain, they can all be unforgiving. ;)
Good luck!!
Hi, I have been trying to learn how to play this with my son for ages. I just cannot wrap my head around it. I see you are starting out building your deck. How do you know what cards to get one building your deck? Do you have a video on building your deck?
Page 19 of the rulebook goes over making your deck. It will need to be between 40 and 50 total cards. 15 will be associated with the hero chosen, and the rest can generally come from only one aspect (aggression, justice, protection, or leadership) and basic (gray cards). Or you can just use the preconstructed or use one posted online. marvelcdb.com/ seems to be popular. Hope that helps!!
I’ve played so many times in Octgn( and lost), never knew that there are 2 stages of the main scheme 😂😂😂
At around 6:00 you used Peter Parker to generate a science resource, do you not have to exhaust for that?
@Chuck Wade No. Your abilities are typically "free" to use, meaning you only exhaust as a payment or when using Recovery, Attack, Thwart or Defense. Hope that helps, and good luck! :)
@@DaletheCasualGamer that's cool. I just got this game and I am loving it. It's one of the few games I have that I actually play solo
@@chuckawade1 Glad you are enjoying the game! It is one of the few games that I enjoy both solo and with a group! :)
If I play two handed with Spider-Man and Spider-Woman and I have the Power of Leadership card in Spider-Man's hand, can I use that to pay for Spider-Woman's Pheromones event? I've tried looking this up but have been unsuccessful. I've seen you use Avenger's Mansion and other upgrades or support cards this way, just didn't know if this was allowed like in Arkham Horror.
@Tyler Arvin Generally, to pay costs, they need to come from the character playing the card. Characters can take "actions" on other players turns though. Hope that helps! :)
Isn't Nick Fury supposed to be discarded at the end of the round?
@carnophage666 Thanks for watching! Nick gets discarded after the villain phase. Hope that helps!
@@DaletheCasualGamer Yes it does. Explains why you defended with him.
28:42 when hulk attacks,you have to discard, not draw
I said “draw” but drew to view the symbol and discarded with hulk.
Wait? So the Obligation Card does NOT activate during the Boost step??? 🤔
During the boost step you only look at the boost and star icons on the the bottom right. Good luck!
Dale the Casual Gamer many thanks! I guess I was playing it wrong 🤦🏻♂️
At 31:04, you exceeded the threat threshold, werent you supposed to lose?
@Nicholas H Some villains have multiple "Main Schemes" to go through, with a lose generally coming from too much threat on the final of the main schemes. Hope that helps, and happy gaming! :)
@@DaletheCasualGamer super late to the party. But when does the 1st part of the main scheme exceed its limit?
Shouldn't the nemesis of spider man and black panther cards be added to the Klaw deck?
Not for set-up. They only come out after drawing "Shadow of the Past" as an encounter. :)
Hi Dale, when an acceleration token is placed on the main scheme from emptying encounter deck, does it get removed when we advance to main scheme 2A? Thanks!
@C K. No, it stays on. A gift that keeps on giving. ;)
@@DaletheCasualGamer I assume you add another if you burn thru the deck a 2nd time? Which is likely with Klaw, especially in multiplayer.
@@TheVlad1616 Yep, everytime you go through the encounter deck, you get another acceleration token. Thanks for watching! :)
@@DaletheCasualGamer and I had been playing it wrong another way then. I thought acceleration tokens added 1 threat per player, not +1 total. So in a 2 player game with 1 acceleration token I was thinking it was 2 per player now versus plus 1 after the 1 per player calculation.
Thx i just found out some mistakes ive made that kept me from beating Klaw.
Glad I could help! Now go take it to Klaw!! :)
@@DaletheCasualGamer yes! I did it! Finally! :D
What sleeves are you using?
@Mark Tsundoku Pasha I'm using Fantasy Flight Sleeves. Thanks for watching!
@@DaletheCasualGamer As someone who has used FF sleeve I am having to look to a new vendor with the discontinuation of FF sleeves. Do you have any recommendations for a new sleeve company?
@@steveamamoto6929 I've switched to Dragon Shields clear matte sleeves. A bit expensive, but I love the feel.
you played hulk wrong. you only did his bonus damage, and not his base damage as well
29:20 ouuu. Defense network is there. You cannot thwart other schemes :D
I don’t have the card in front of me now (at my day job), but I believe that is just for the main scheme and doesn’t apply to other side schemes.
@@DaletheCasualGamer I've checked that. You are right. Good to know ;)
Watching this it shows the game is much too procedural with little to no story telling.
Unlike LotR or the Arkham Horror LCG this game is simply too cumbersome for what it is supposed to do.
Probably lots of possible errors when you play and try to manage it all.
We'll see what happens when the Rise of Red Skull expansion comes out later this year. This is supposed to bring campaign/scenario play to the game. It doesn't sound as though it will be as story driven as Arkham Horror, but it will provide more of a story. :)
Precisely why I bought it actually.
