Learn How to Play Marvel Champions: The Card Game
This is a quick and comprehensive rules overview. What I try to do is cover all the rules, including the latest errata at the time of recording and BGG FAQs in as short amount of time as possible. Of course, while still trying to remain clear.
These videos are not a rulebook replacement. They have 3 goals:
1 - As a refresher, if you haven’t played the game for a while and need a reminder of the rules
2 - For a brief overview of the game if you’re going to play it for the first time
3 - As an alternative to a review-style video to see if the game is for you
Of course, before you leave remember to like, share and subscribe. Also, drop a comment if the video was useful (or if you have constructive feedback).

At 12:30 you mention that the Hazard icon means you deal an additional encounter card per player. It should actually be one additional encounter card in player order. So in a 2 player game the first player would receive one additional encounter card.

So 1 mistake and 1 thing you omitted.. you said you need to discard an additional card to use tenacity(on top of the physical resource) when you actually discard tenacity. You also didn't tell viewers that when you run out of cards in your deck you deal yourself a facedown encounter card to be revealed when other encounter cards are revealed.. otherwise decent video

@JestaThaRogue Жыл бұрын

To be fair, they didn't bother to put the deck running out thing in the main rulebook.

I've watched this twice now because the comments have been exceedingly useful in answering questions I couldn't find responses too elsewhere. Also because the video is really helpful. I do have a quick question though. I used Spidey's Interrupt once when I was under attack and drew Backflip. Am I allowed to play the card immediately upon drawing it? This is my first LCG and I'm still very confused about a lot of things that the rule books just don't cover. Thanks for the video!

@JestaThaRogue 2 жыл бұрын

+TheGaymingAvenger hi. Glad I could help. You can play the card. Page 9 in the red box in the Rulebook says you can play an interrupt at any time. Thematically you used your spider sense to sense the attack, then back flipped out the way.

@Woutva Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the video! At 12:07 you mention the cards are placed in the encounters discard pile, but Shadow of the Past mentions you should shuffle it into the encounter deck. What is correct? Also, do Attack cards count as an attack? Can you play them when your hero is exhausted? What about if you are stunned?

@JestaThaRogue Жыл бұрын

Rules on cards like that usually overwrite rules in the Rulebook.(called The Golden Rule) I haven’t played a while, but I believe playing an attack card is just an event card so resolve as normal. I don’t believe being exhausted prevents you from playing cards but I’d check that. You can play attacks while stunned, but it just removes the stun card.

From memory, LotR is pretty much the same system. Arkham you use resource tokens to play cards rather than discarding cards I think? I like the discarding cards thing.

@JestaThaRogue 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks! Boost cards are just for their boost icons.

Also, remember to check for the boost keyword on a card that triggers when a card is revealed as a boost card!!

If I'm getting attacked and the boost card has no icon ("I'm Though" for example) in the bottom right does it count as plus zero? And I Ignore the text correct?

5:56 So to use Tenacity I have to use an action to play it (using 2 resources) and then another action to activate it (using a physical resource and discarding another card)? Or is the "Discard this Card" on Tenacity saying that the card goes from the battlefield onto the discard pile?

@JestaThaRogue Жыл бұрын

Yes, it’s one action to put the upgrade into play spending 2 resources. Then a second ‘hero’ action to activate it spending a physical resource and discarding tenacity to ready your hero.

@bryanep 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the quick response on my other question. Have a couple more if you don't mind, If I have to draw an extra boss card because I need to draw from my deck and there's no cards left (thus reshuffling and finally drawing to max hand size) when do I resolve that boss card I drew? Also using my hero's ability doesn't exhaust my hero so I can flip and use both sides of my hero on the same turn correct?

@JestaThaRogue 3 жыл бұрын

Not sure about the first or ... But you can use the Hero ability, flip then use the Alter-Ego on the same turn. It doesn’t exhaust the character unless stated.

@bryanep 3 жыл бұрын

@@JestaThaRogue Found the answer I was looking for if anyone else needs clarification . Rules reference, page 5, Deal, Deal An Encounter Card: If a card ability instructs a player to be dealt an encounter card, the player takes the top card of the encounter deck and places it facedown in front of them. This card is not revealed at this time. This card is added to the queue of cards that player resolves during the villain phase.

Erm… If I remember just brute force? Push the bigger one into the side that feels more comfortable, then push the smaller one in place.

@jacobsmith4710 3 жыл бұрын

If we defend against an attack we have to exhaust Spider-Man, when do we ready him? After the next player turn? So if we defend we don’t get a thwart or attack next turn, right? This video has been very helpful but this is something I haven’t really been able to get an answer from anywhere.

@JestaThaRogue 3 жыл бұрын

Hi. That’s correct. You don’t ready until the end phase of your turn so if you defend in the Villain phase your character is exhausted until the end of your next turn. (Rulebook page 14: End of Player Phase Step 3) Thanks for watching!

How many players can play in 1 box? Do each player have to own their own deck?

@JestaThaRogue 2 жыл бұрын

Up to 4 players in the core box. You get 5 fully pre constructed heroes and 3 villains in it so you don’t have to build decks yourself if you don’t want to. Also players don’t have to bring their own.

@JestaThaRogue 3 жыл бұрын

In a player turn? You just take any actions shown on page 10, then the next player does the same. Once all players have done that you go to ‘End of Player Phase’ shown on page 14. The player turn isn’t broken down into many steps, just the villain turn.
